    I received this beauty just last week. 2017 build year and it is in dead mint condition. It's a phenomenal bass in all regards, but I prefer a volume/pickup blend layout versus the volume/volume/tone layout on this bass.

    I'm also open to straight trades or trades +/- cash. High on my list of preference for trades are Sadowsky, MTD 535 or Signature models, Fender CS, Yamaha BBNE2, or TRB 5PII. Other trades will be considered as well.

    PREAMP: F Bass proprietary
    CONTROLS: Neck pup volume, Bridge pup volume (pull up for single coil tap; down for hum cancelling), Passive tone control (pull up for passive; down for active); Bass boost, Mid boost, Treble boost
    Pickups: F Bass Stacked Single Coils (with Hum-Cancelling)
    Bridge: Hipshot Aluminum B Style (19mm spacing)

    NECK
    34.5"
    Wood: 3 Piece Quarter-Sawn Maple
    Fingerboard: Maple
    Tuners: Gotoh, GB70, mini with 20:1 ratio
    Truss Rod: Two-Way, 4mm ( 5/32" ) wrench
    Bone Nut 1 3/4" (45mm)

    BODY
    Wood: Northern Ash
    Finish: Brown Burst / Black Grain Enhance / Matte Sheen
    Knobs: Handmade Nogal

    Weight: 10.4lbs

    It feels much lighter, but I also used the padded SBL bass strap shown in the pics which is tapered 3.75" to 4" and it distributes the weight nicely. I'll throw in the strap for an additional $75. Currently strung with new Fodera nickels. Thanks for looking.

    Edit: Layaway plans available. Message me for details if interested.

    I know you said BBNE2, but how about a BBNE1?

    Those are nice too, but not what I'm looking for at this time. Thanks.

    That feeling you get when you list a great bass for sale, but then you pull it out and play it and realize you might be making a mistake by letting it go.
