Man oh man, if only this had narrower string spacing! Just lovely. GLWTS!

Aye! Someone grab this before I submit and buy it back! :help:

Seriously, I'm the original owner -- and this is not a prompted reply -- what an incredible bass. Super lightweight, amazing tone and playability, just beautiful aesthetics as you can see. Note: I even had my tech spruce up the frets a bit before I had put it up for sale (at the time still thinking then that I was going to keep it), and since it still has TJIF's on there my guess is there is basically no fretware to speak of (not that the bass is very old). I.e., you're basically getting a brand new CB for probably $1k off what it would cost new, and zero wait time.

OP, I hope this hijack is okay (I assume so since it's a plug

)...

I've now had 2 Cliff Bordwells. They are gorgeous and fabulous instruments. I have a fanned fret 5 string. I can leave it for 2 or 3 weeks if I'm out of town and it's still in tune when I return. Just rock stable and Light too.

Thunderous tone etc etc GLWTS!!

Looks nice. How would you characterize the sound? How much flexibility can I get with an outboard EQ?

The TI flats on it have their own sound profile. You can still get a pretty wide range of tones from the right hand placement though. With rounds, I think you can dial in pretty much whatever you want with a good outboard unit. In my experience, outboard EQ almost always sounds much better than onboard, and is almost always much more flexible.

I am in the Anthony Jackson camp. One great pickup in the optimal location, and no lightweight onboard electronics to get in the way. If the instrument is well constructed, you have a whole world of tones available.
