Sorry about that. I'm new to the site and thus familiarizing myself with the posting format for this sort of thing.

Currently set up for a low B, but I'd imagine you could tweak it to add the high C instead of that's what you preferred.

 

The appraisal was done by Robert Riccardi, Sr. in New Jersey. I have the actual written appraisal which notes the condition as excellent, along with the rest of the specifications noted above.

 

Bump!

 

Price is definitely negotiable for the right buyer. Please don't hesitate to make an off if you're interested!

 

Bass is still available and price is definitely still negotiable. Please message if interested and we can go from there. Thanks!
