Fantastic 5 with killer tone and all the upgrades. If you're intrigued but don't know about the quality of Cliff Bordwell work check out his website. I would describe the overall sound of this bass as a tight, slightly dark MTD tone.
Walnut body with Lacewood top and Bubinga back.
35" scale. Inset neck.
24 fret Pau Ferro board.
Nordstrand dual coils.
Audere 4-band pre-amp with Z-switch and Active/Passive switch. You can quickly dial in a snappy Jazz sound or a fat P-bass tone!
Hipshot hardware.
Dunlop strap locks.
Weight: 10 lbs. Balances very well.
Includes basic Levy's gig bag.
Cliff makes two neck profiles, one a flat "modern", this a rounder, more "Fenderish" feel, which is very comfortable, and I usually like the flatter profiles better on a 5.
String spacing is ideal for slapping: 1 7/8" nut, 19mm spacing at bridge.
$1900 shipped. Will consider a trade for another 5, possibly a 4: Sado, Mike Lull, Roscoe, F Bass; one with at least 18mm string spacing. Run it by me! If you have a good contender that's in the $2300 range, I'll throw in a Accugroove 2x10 that's in excellent condition.
