I just got a used TRBX605FM from a nice seller (robertusf). I can see where the bland comments come from, but after playing it for a couple of hours, I think setting bass and treble at 50% (in active mode) and dialing up the mids a bit gives it a solid bite. It's a beautiful, very well made...

Does it have a piezo pickup? I see the cavity lid on the back but I don't see controls.

Was this bass posted by another seller a week ago? It's a great looking instrument and Klos has a good rep.

Is this still for sale?

Very nice looking bass at a nice discount from new.

That is stunning! Nicest looking back and neck laminations! Wow. A 32" scale is a joy to play. I have a spendy bass on order or I would be sorely tempted. Beautiful.

That's the nicest redwood top I've seen. Beautiful instrument!

Beautiful! Someone is going to get a great deal.

I also looked at the Martinson site and I love the creativity in the look of these basses. This one in particular. This must be hard to sort out, but does the resin change the sound of the tone woods? It's hard to tell from photos how much resin is actually used, and I don't know if they would...

I just bought a new 4-string Willcox Saber Bass VL. The fit and finish are very good, no issues there at all and it's a nice looking instrument. The sound is clear, as advertised. I was concerned about excessive string clatter but that is not an issue at all; probably quieter than my mag PU...

Scott's Bass Lessons has a free video up right now extolling the virtues of the Stingray! High praise.

My mistake. Actually it is a four-string, but I loaned to a friend.

Is this bass still for sale? Are there two basses for sale here or is it just the lighting of the photos? Some photos look like a black body with dark fingerboard and some look jade green. Interested.

That is a work of art!

Are you interested in a trade for an Ibanez SRF700 5-string fretless? Excellent condition.
