SOLD 5 String Cliff Bordwell CB Bass.

Up for sale/trade is my 5 string CB Bass made by Cliff Bordwell.

Trades: Any fretted Warwick Dolphin Pro 1... maybe a 5 or 6 string Warwick Thumb neck through with Bubinga top or custom shop Warwick Thumb fretted.

The bass was delivered in 2014, and never left my office. I've owned a bunch of Cliff Bordwell's basses, and this one has been really amazing! This bass is in mint condition, and one of the best sounding basses I have ever owned! I just really don't play bass anymore.
I helped the builder with this bass shape and he was nice enough to name it after me. The scale is 35", yet with the placement of the bridge so near the rear of the bass it feels like a 34".

Price - $2,600 U.S. (original price was $4,230.00).
I will pay shipping in full with insurance - only ship conus.

I pay a ton of extra money to have everything professionally packaged by my friends at the UPS store, usually costing at least $100+ dollars. See my feedback for more info.

My sound clips are awful, because it's through my iPhone 7. I can send them to you though if you would like.
Bathroom scale says 9lbs even.

All messages have been replied to! I got some interesting offers so far, but the bass is still up for sale.

All messages have been replied to! I got to admit I've had some interesting trade and cash offers, but I'm only interested in a high end Warwick Thumb or Dolphin as trades or the full price listed.

Thank you all though,
-ScottM

 

Thank you!

I added a pic of it on the wall.

That was a lot of work, but all messages have been replied too. Bass is still available!

Decided to send the bass back to the builder for some more updates.

Thank you everyone for the offers,
