I am halfway through my first year of teaching, and I just don't play this work of art enough to justify owning it. Sadly, I'm selling it. It's by the far the best bass I have ever owned, so I could just as easily keep it, but I figure it deserves to go out into the gigosphere to be treated right. Currently, its equipped with Thomastik Infeld strings and plays brilliantly. The tone has great mwahs and thick lows. It is in MINT condition and was originally 4k out of Cliff's shop. I'm the second owner. I would consider trading for a Rickenbacker 4003 or maybe a good Warwick Jazzman.
