    Original pickups were passive Bartolini and will be included in the sale. Currently loaded with EMG's and we can discuss removing the EMG's and/or reinstalling the Barts before shipping.

    I'm the 2nd owner. New in 1997, I bought in April 2000 and it's in perfect condition. It's been played a handful of times, never gigged, and zero wear. Bought on impulse 'because I always wanted one' and yet it sits in its HSC.

    Amber finish on flamed maple top, alder body.
    The neck is carbon fiber without a truss rod.
    Gotoh 201 bridge 19mm spacing.
    Strung with nickel rounds currently.
    Exact weight is 9lb 4.6oz
    Pictures of control cavity and Bart pickups were prior to their removal.
    Nut width is 38mm, 34" scale.
    Modulus HSC included.

    I can't believe I just found this, but yes on Player's Choice in Mystic, CT (for the case, I can't confirm the bass)

    And this was April 2000.
