This is quite a unique and badass custom bass that I'm sad to let go- just need to move some things. This is built completely of Made in USA parts. Just had a pro set-up with new bone nut; this bass feels, looks, and SOUNDS amazing--these Super Ferrite pickups are something else!! The pickup locations and combinations give you access to sounds that resemble P-bass, Rickenbacker, and even Stingray. It is in great shape, a small bit of standard wear/checking for a nitro finish, and one unfortunate scratch in the finish going from the bridge to the back of the body. As you can see it's rather hard to spot from a few feet away.
