Aaron said:

I've owned several dozen electric basses and this one has been the highest quality one. It feels super solid, the electronics are super quiet and heavily shielded, and the intonation is the best I've encountered in the fretted instrument realm.

Specs:
-Bartolini quad coil pickups
-series/parallel switches for each pickup
-active/passive switch
-2 band Bartolini 9v preamp
-volume and blend pots
-Strap lock buttons
-2-piece walnut body, maple neck, wenge fingerboard
-built in 1997
-34" scale
-1.5" nut (Fender Jazz bass nut width)
-Gotoh tuning machines

$1700 obo - local sale greatly preferred. Conus shipping will likely be $150-250

There’s a thread trending now on the most disappointing bass you’ve experienced. If there was a thread on the bass that most pleasantly surprised you, Hanewinckel would be at the top of my list. Over the years I’ve had three Hanewinckels. I still have one and don’t see myself parting ways with it anytime soon. They are seriously underrated instruments. Would love to see this one surprise the hell out of someone.
