I hate to sell this bass, but a variety of factors (home repairs, car repairs, running out of room for stuff, etc) have conspired to encourage me to sell it, so here it is. This is a Curbow Petite 5 with a teak body, wenge top, Rockwood neck/board, and Bartolini electronics. It did have some repair work done to the headstock by a previous owner. I asked Doug Somervell about this repair, and he remembered it well. I believe he said that he and Greg both worked on it (or maybe Greg did the repair, but Doug knew about it), but at any rate, he claims that the headstock is now stronger than before the repair and it should have no long-term issues. I'll try to take better pics showing the area I am talking about. Shortly after I received this bass, I sent it to Doug to check it out and also to swap out the older Bart preamp (forget which model) for a newer NTMB pre, which definitely made an improvement, IMHO. He also touched up the finish a bit for me. It has an oil finish which was showing some wear from a previous owner's slap/pop playing. You can still see it a bit, but I think Doug did a really good job. Tuners are Sperzel locking-style. It's a fairly heavy bass, and I'll weigh it soon.
Here are the pics:
Here it is with my Curbow fretless (which is not for sale):
Here is a link to a video of Mike Fredericks (MikeBass) playing this bass at one of my GTGs.
I am asking $1,500, plus shipping. It does come with a Curbow matching case. Trades considered, but a sale (within the lower 48) preferred.
Thanks for looking, Tom.
