Details

This is a bass for those who don’t want to fiddle with a bunch of knobs and switches to get their tone: just sit down, plug in, and play. The tone is already there.

It’s also very light. I’d say in the 8 - 9 pound range.

Cliff Bordwell Single Cut
6 string
34” scale
24 frets
19mm spacing

Ash body
Macassar Ebony top
Maple/Wenge neck
Pau Ferro fingerboard
B headstock shape
Matching headstock

Single Aero Dual Coil pickup
Passive - volume only

Gotoh Resolite tuners
Hipshot Type A Brass bridge

Bass is in overall great shape save for a few small bumps that are in no way big or noticeable really. It’s been played but taken great care of. In full disclosure, the tuner on the B string won’t tune any higher than B. Which I’d imagine won’t be a matter for most but I want to say that out front so everyone is aware. It’s fine operationally if you tune to standard B - C tuning.

This is a great bass and it kinda pains me to move it but I’ve never been one to have a bass collection; I just keep what I use.

Customer pays shipping.

PM me with any questions!

Time to move this down the road. If interested, please message me with a cash offer. The money from this is going towards a different instrument so this is For Sale only. The sale price gives you an idea of what I’m looking for so if you’re around there, let me know.

Thanks, everyone.

My old bass too lol (actually the bass in my profile pic). I'd still have her but the pandemic happened and my 6 strings are always the first to go when I need to move things around. The B string tuner just needs a small washer to give it the extra slack. It's a phenomenal feeling and playing bass. Good luck with the sale!

I’m the original owner of this masterpiece — if anyone is on the fence and has any Q’s feel free to message me.

It is a PHENOMENAL bass and at this price I kinda want to buy it back (I can’t justify a third 6-string though…).

OP — the B string tension thing may be happening b/c there are too many winds around the post (?)

Hey!

The tuner is missing a washer so it’s probably an easy fix for someone that is familiar with fixing such things.

The market is pretty rough right now, not gonna lie. I just want this bass to go to someone who wants a nice six string because this definitely is. She deserves a good home.

It’s got 4 strings ‘cause they’re bigger!

I love Cliff’s work and this is a steal. These are not my specs for a bass, I’m only playing 30” 4 strings, but this may be the best deal out there on a 6 on this site. Good luck.
