    I am floating this prior to ebay and/or Reverb. I had Chopper Anderson make me a 5-string bass in vintage yellow. I dented the perfect finish right where I'd always see it, so I had a local expert luthier take the paint off and we were surprised to see a wonderful wood pattern underneath and left it au natural with bit of an oil treatment. At the same time he installed stainless steel frets and a new nut and did a fine tuning. These basses are extraordinary for the money--what you would pay. The pre-amp is unrivaled and very tweakable. I have recently moved to 4-string basses due to some painful thumbs from past sports-related injuries, 65k miles of road biking, endless typing, and 40+ years of bass playing. I've realistically priced this bass on what I've seen here. I have yet to take a whole rash of photos, but here are some.

    If you're considering this, you want this, do it. I have 3 and I'm tempted.

    I was seriously thinking about one of these and now this comes along (at an incredible price) two days after I bought another bass. This is a crazy deal. GLWTS.

    It's only crazy until you read threads of basses for sale. I am not one to negotiate or haggle. Just offer a fair price upfront and be done with it.

    Beautiful bass. Right down the road from you, but just had Chopper build me one.

    The bass has sold. Thanks for your interest. Alien Audio is boutique bass at an affordable price. Since I have moved to 4 strings, perhaps another AA is in my future!
