Make me an offer I can't refuse..

 

A little more info:

16mm spacing at the bridge.

Price new was $1064.00 not including shipping. Bass has less than two hours max playing time on it... Ive never taken it to a gig, Ive never even taken it to practice because I only play my Conklins.

 

Sure! If you're willing to drive to Alabama.

 

I will consider trades for cabinets and/or heads and amplifiers..

 

It needs to be known.. I'm not going to pull the wool over anyone's eyes. If I sell someone a bass then I make sure they know EVERYTHING about it. Good AND bad.

 

For those interested in the bass, here's a rundown of the issues...

When I received it the bridge was not mounted flush against the body. As a result the treble side was grossly high.. So high in fact that I was unable to lower the strings enough to get a decent, even sound.. Same with the input jack.. Also there was a short in the electronics somewhere.. Plugging in a 9 volt battery cause it (the battery) to get extremely hot in a matter of seconds.. In addition there was poor/sloppy shielding, excessive bow in the neck, rough pickup routs, burn marks on the wood, and the wiring inside the control cavity was rather shoddy.. Connections looked to have been made with tape and wax. Also, I paid extra for a figured koa upgrade.. When I got it all the figuring was on the back of the bass (Dave refunded my money)..

As I said, I sent it back and the problems were fixed (the short was fixed, however the wiring and shielding is still rather messy. Also there's nothing that can be done about the koa figuring and the pup routs). It's in decent shape now.

Specs:
Solid koa body
35" scale
24 frets
EMG pups
Passive electronics
