Details

Stambaugh SC5. It is a 9.5 out of 10 in cosmetic condition and plays and sounds wonderful. It has a very powerful yet focused lowend with that famous mid burp only Bartolini electronics can give. The highend is nice and open but not brittle. For sale only at [DEL]$1850 [/DEL]now $1600 shipped and paypaled CONUS! I would also consider trades now.

Can it get much narrower than that? (I like 17 or 17.5)

How would you describe the focus and tone of the B string? (They're rarely a perfect match for the higher strings, are they?)

Thanks.

Yes. This Schaller bridge is extremely adjustable. It can do from about 16mm to 20mm string spacing. You can see that on the photo with a close up of the bridge the saddles have a lot of distance between them. The tone of the B is extremely focused. All notes sound very even with plenty of sustain.

Anything that comes out of Chris Stambaugh's shop is going to be amazing and I'm sure this bass is no exception. Bump!

I own one and can testify to how thoroughly badass they are. There won't be a funny note on it.

Hey Abe,

I sent you a second PM end of Apr, which must have flown under the radar; then I forgot about it. I'm thinking about it again.

What are you interested in?

Im only interested in fretted 5 or 4 string basses. I tend to gravitate toward traditionally styled and voiced basses. Having said that Id consider anything. Let me know what u got.

Hi Abe. I'm not meaning to breathe down your neck, just wanted to know if you got my PM.
Hope you're relaxing from your road trip.
