Alien Audio Constellation 5
Here's the link to the thread that I purchased it from:

SOLD - Alien Audio Constellation 5

I had it shipped directly to Chopper at Alien Audio where he gave it a tune up and installed the tort guard, new knobs, replaced a bent tuning key and put TI flats on it for me.
Chopper is one of the nicest guys in the business. I felt like we had been friends for years. Very helpful and extremely knowledgeable.
The pics in the original thread are much better than mine.

Specs:
Features a mahogany body, maple neck, and rosewood board. The pickups are Nordstrand, Hipshot hardware, and the custom Alien Audio/Mo West BFX-2 preamp. 35 inch scale, and weighs in at 9 pounds.

Price includes shipping to the lower 48 states and it comes with an Access gig bag.

Only trades I'm interested in would be a JMJ Mustang or a Geddy Lee Jazz from the Japan era. Plus cash of course.

This is my old bass. I miss it. It was the first of many Aliens that I now own. Would love to pick it up again some day.

This is Nashville session player "David Hungate's" money maker but with a 2Tek bridge system. I have yet to find a genre of music that this bass does not apply to. I would have loved to have traded with you before the holes were drilled for the pick guard system, but I am sure a clear guard system would not be noticeable. I only wish all players could experience the versatility of the amazing preamp. GLWYS!

I have Hungate’s original 2tek Constellation now. It’s superb.

Where has this preamp been all these years? Just fascinating to experiment with! If you have any provenance to go with Hungate's original, it is a treasure indeed! His basslines for "TOTO" are unforgettable!

Yes Chopper designed an amazing preamp with Mo West. Best kept secret going. My Sonic Blue Lunar 5 is my go to workhorse in the studio. Hasn’t failed to knock any engineer out that hears it. My Hungate Constellation is equally as good just something about the Lunar.

I knew this would not take long, am I sick for wanting 2 of these basses? I paid over 2,000 for mine with a 2tek bridge!

You aren’t sick my friend. I’ve owned up to 5 at once of them! They’re some of the best and again still my number 1 studio workhorse.
