    ***SOLD***

    Got this from a fellow TB'er right before moving overseas, brought it with me but was too afraid to use it much there. So as much of a beauty (aesthetically and sonically) as it may be, it deserves to be played more than I get around to playing.

    It was custom-ordered from the factory with Nordstrand pickups and preamp, then the pre was switched out for an Aguilar OBP-3 (push-pull mids). I've heard a fair number of Q5's, and this one has *all* the mojo you'd expect. But if for whatever reason you'd want to switch pups to Barts, the Classics will fit in there (standard 4.5"x1.5" routing). It's in excellent/near-mint condition, just as I received it.

    $1700 plus shipping CONUS. I'll ship it with your choice of either the OHSC (also near-mint) or a Gator flight case (excellent), plus a new set of strings. Not really interested in trades right now, though I do have a soft spot for Roscoes.......

    I've priced it to move soon (I'm back overseas in August), so no sale here and it's off to the bay. PM me with any questions, and thanks for looking!

    35" neck, adjustable 17-18mm spacing (right now set as close to 18mm as my untrained eye could get it)

    If it was 19mm spacing and 34" scale it would be perfect!

    I owned this bass, pictures do not do it justice, Georgeous Bass in every way.
    I still have the Nordstrand PRE-amp that came wired "custom" with the Nordstrand dual coils.
    Do you have the OEM Modulus case?
    Any interest in working a trade for a Roscoe 3005? PM me please!
