Price includes shipping to CONUS. No trades please, open to offers

Had this listed a while then decided to keep it, Now available again...

This is a one off jazz style prototype custom hand built by Adam Falkner (rojo412) whose basses have won some of the TB build off competitions in recent years. This is the 3rd bass I’ve bought from Adam. Each bass is unique and completely hand built, and he has many build threads in the luthiers corner if you want to see how he works: Search Results | TalkBass.com

For reference base price for a new build starts at $2,000 and takes about 3-4 months. As a prototype build I got it for $1400 so I’m asking the same, and also including a Mono Vertigo case

There is one imperfection visible only from the back(see pics):
“On the upper horn, when I was building it, I had a chip-out happen. So I grafted a new piece onto it with epoxy and it's rock solid... but worth mentioning”
