Arrived an hour ago. Excellent Condition. Very good setup as far as I can tell. Finger on third fret holds business card in place on first fret.
I find the strings to be very taunt so i'm researching for an easier string (maybe round or nylon core) to play but it's probably mostly my aged and not playing enough hands. But I'll get a lot of use out of this one. I love it.

These are my fav for strictly unplugged higher action playing. (I use a pic)
Loud and less squeak.
If you're a low action and play like an electric and plugged in you probably won't like them.
I tend to use GHS Tapewound or D'Addario Tapewound for plugged in ABG playing
These too!

Thank you. I still need to get to my Luither and make it as perfect as possible. And I'm definitely a low action, extra light and flexible, bass string kinda guy. I think he'll be able to lower the action a bit at the sadle.
Oh, and I was actually able to find a Fender ABG long scale gig bag for it (I may have already mentioned this). This place must have bought up a bunch when Fender discontinued them.
They are extra light.

Never heard anyone using those. Not at the Acoustic Bass Fetish Club.
I'll have to give them a try. Thanks for making me aware of them.

I just hope my butt gets over to the Luther, well today now. It's hard playing anything beyond the 12th fret cuz of the height of the strings. Of course, every finger on my left hand is hurting now. Getting this bass today was like having (TMI) for the first time.I
That thinner body on the Victor Bailey Signature ABG does make it easier to play for longer periods of time.

Well I went to my Luither today. First, the neck had a severe bow and he cranked it clockwise nearly 5 turns. Second, the saddle will need filed down 1/16 of an inch to make it playable.
So I called the seller and they suggested an exchange for another one. Either that or I can upgrade and pay the difference of course. I'm thinking maybe I should get one of the new Kingman V2 acoustic basses instead of another CB-60SCE. Or maybe an FA-450 standard or 25.3". Recommendations please....

None of them will be to your liking if you think 1/16” is the difference between playable and unplayable.
No offense, but if I was the seller I certainly wouldn’t refund or exchange.
This is your personal preference.
Maybe it's an 1/8" but I feel you. He was concerned about there being enough saddle to shave down. But regardless,
would you get the Kingman if given the change?
