The final piece of my collection is now up for grabs...
SVS Designs 8 string headless fretless with LED fretlines.
Payment accepted via PayPal G&S
I am the original owner of this bass and commissioned it back in 2018. It was displayed at NAMM in 2019.
The bass has an ash body with spalted maple top. Pickups are a pair of Bare Knuckle dual coils under a single wood cover. Preamp is a 3 band Glockenklang. Hardware is all Hipshot. The fingerboard is polyurethane coated. String spacing is 19mm at the bridge.
The most striking feature are the LED illuminated fret lines. The LED system is all blue LEDs, with green at the 12th, 24th, and final fret lines. Each fret line has 2 LEDs, one on each side, to ensure even lighting across the line. The LEDs are controlled with a single ON/OFF switch as shown. I was able to get about 80 hours of full illumination from the single 9 volt that powers the system before having to change batteries.
One thing to note, to make the system work as designed, the binding on the neck is extra wide to accommodate the 2 LEDs per fret line. It takes a little getting used to, but I never found it intrusive. YMMV.
Bass is in mint condition with no scratches, nicks, or dents to speak of. There is no visible playing wear on the fingerboard.
Bass will come in a fairly basic gig bag. Price includes shipping to the lower 48 states. Hawaii and Alaska purchasers will need to cover shipping. No international sales please.
Thanks for looking!
