For sale Wanted: SX/Essex Bass

I've got a brand spankin new burst SX (Essex) from Rondo SJB62 5 string fretless jazz copy. It's just not for me. I modded the pickguard to black because I thought the white looked cheap. The luthier also added a neat string channel on the headstock for the G string because of it's angle from nut to tuner and his fear the nut would crack. Looks and sounds nice, now. No scratches or blemishes. Been practiced with about 10 hours, and giged with for 3 songs once.

The burst with the black pickguard and aged wood appearance on the headstock makes it fairly pretty to look at. One thing noticeable is that the low B does not have the sustain the top 4 strings have.

I've put 4 new fender flats on it, keeping the original B string. It's been profesionally set up to be the best it can be (had a buzzing issue on delivery on the D string). The action is a bit high for my taste (I prefer the lower the better).

Passive electronics with great, surprising tonal variety. It's just fun enough that I want something nicer in a 5 string fretted or fretless.

Would not come with a case or bag of any type and would ship in the original Rondo music shipping container. Would like $130 or offer. I can post a pictures later tonite after I get home

I would be looking for fretted as a priority, and even though I wanted a 4 string, the bass looks nearly identical to what I had in mind. I am going to pass for now and see if I can find a fretted similar, but if you still have the bass in a week I may change my mind. Don't count on me but that bass does look great.
