Well it’s done.. I pulled the trigger on that Sweetwater bass.. ash/maple galore! Super pumped to have this E5 standard in the arsenal!

Indeed! Super cool, simplistic vibe for the top wood.

Sound advice! The E5 custom is 60s spacing with single coil nordstrands .. how often do you use the coil split in your standards??

Here's an amazing passive 5 string jazz that has a killer 70s slap (Marcus Miller) vibe, without the active pre. I love the gorgeous flame roasted maple neck and dark rosewood fingerboard on this bass. I had the master, Ted Vig, put a set of his 5 sting J pickups in and he changed the pots to...

Still available folks!

Yes, although I'm in no rush to sell- it is still available.

PM sent.

Back up for sale is my Williams and Sons Ton-Klar German made carved wood bass. I bought this from No Strings Attached in Gloden Valley, MN about 3 years ago. Pickup fully functional and sounds great. There is a noticeable repair in the neck, but it is sturdy and feels fine. This is a great...

Cab still available?
