Still available. Price is negotiable, of course. :D

I have not been actively playing for quite a while. My trusty 4005 has lain unused for nearly four years. It is time to let go of it. Brief details: • I bought it at a pawn shop in 1985 • It comes with its original hardshell case • Both the instrument and case are in very good-but-used...

Bump.

Attached is a photo of what the bass looks like with its original hardware.

Thanks! Title and text updated accordingly.

For sale is an excellent condition 4001 four-string from 1978 (I was wrong, it is not from 1979—Thanks Jaymi!). The finish is natural maple and evidences no cracking. There are some minor dings from light use, and there is some light buckle rash on the body, but nothing has penetrated the...

A quick bump: The original "K" on the headstock was dark (Steve admitted it was a semi-failed experiment), so I asked Steve to make a new truss rod cover with another, more visible "K" on it. So the "K" is my idea, but later Kudelas have much nicer-looking "K" logos. Everything described about...

Sold! Thanks, Charles!

I want to say ebony but am not 100% sure. I talked to Steve Kudela about it and it is definitely very hard wood, and I think he said ebony, but cannot recall for certain. d

This is a 98% perfect Kudela four-string fretless bass that has never been gigged and has no dings or flaws. The fretboard is in exceptional condition with only a handful of visible string-bending marks from when it had roundwound strings on it. It currently has Roto-Sound black tapewound...

Great, unique tone, cool design (if you like it, natch), lightweight. On the other hand, I just can't live with the shape, so mine is gone.

I finally got my Sinsonido back from SaintFishy's in TN. It took a bit longer than six months. :( The volume pot shaft had broken long ago and the output jack had to be re-wired two or three times, but the kicker was when two of the tuning peg shafts broke while I was... Tuning. So I sent it in...

That's definitely an L2 and, if nothing is wrong with it, a decent deal for £1500. One sold on eBay a few weeks ago for US$2500 in like-new condition. One thing that sets Steinbergers apart is the bottom end. Nothing I have played comes close to the clear, loud, low tone of the E string. And...

Remember that a bass' neck contributes tremendously to the instrument's tone. Rickenbacker basses have very unique necks and, as far as I know, no other company uses the same combination of wood, finish, and truss rods. Electronics will take you only so far. On the other hand, I agree with the...
