My 1998 Brubaker Lexa 5. This is late in the evolution and refinement from Lexa to NBS, so the lines and details are in between the early Lexa and 2000 NBS. This is one's spec sheet was lost in the shop fire, but I just went over it with Kevin to confirm what he could from looking at it (woods, hardware, electronics). The bathroom scale weight I can give is over 8.5 and less than 9 lbs. It's well balanced, comfortable and plays beautifully.

As built:

Scale - 34 5/8"
Nut Width - 44 mm/1.73"
String Spacing - 18 mm at bridge
Pickups - Lane Poor
Preamp - Seymour Duncan 3-Band, Bass/Treble Stacked, Volume/Push-Pull EQ Contour (aka "Slap") Switch
Body Wood - Paulownia
Top - Quilted Maple
Neck - Maple
Fretboard - Wenge
Bridge/Tuners - Hipshot

Includes Pro-Tec Case

One disclaimer, there is a small, very shallow ding on the back of the neck. It's not highly photographable, but I captured the location and scale.

PayPal + actual shipping if not sold locally.

That's a hell of a deal right there.
Thanks for commenting. I hope so. I agonized over the price a bit because because with custom basses that there are only a handful of can be difficult to hit just the right point on. I talked various people and got input that I felt could lead to taking more time and potential haggling, which I'm not a fan of. In the end, I've had use of it for over 10 years and now I'd like to see it move as quickly and smoothly as possible at a price that will find an enthusiastic and happy buyer.

How is the B string? Is this capable of switching into a passive mode if desired? Beautiful and interested…

@MaccaMan1964 contrary to how it might appear, I have been playing for more than a few months...I just lock up trying to do things like this but it seemed simple enough as a thought to show how the B string is. It's iRig into phone all sims turned off in the app (i.e., preamp, power amp and cab sims all off) so it should just be the raw bass
