Okay, I'm selling this mojo-ridden monster.
Here are the specs:
- 9 Strings (tuned: F#, B, E, A, D, G, C, F, Bb)
- Sidewinder Bodystyle
- Neck-Through
- 30 Frets
- Walnut Body
- Gaboon Ebony Fretboard
- Maple/Purpleheart Neck
- Bartolini Pickup / Preamp
- Extended Cutaway
- Oil Finish
- Weight about 12-13 lbs.
The street price for this bass direct from Conklin is currently over $7000.
However, this bass has been through hell and back! The Oil finish is worn and there is tons of scrapes on the body (even a couple of extra holes for a normal strap). Regardless, the bass plays and sounds great.
So, I'm offering 2 options:
1) $2900 in it's current condition.
2) $3500 sanded down with a brand new Poly finish from Michael Dolan.
Dolan quoted me $500-600 to do the finish on it, which will make the instrument close to brand new (he might be able to wire in a couple more holes/pots if you want full eq). A new finish will delay the bass 1-2 months and I would like payment in full before getting the work done to the instrument.
Shipping is around $50 for US. Comes with a Soft-Hard Case. The bass has black metal knobs now (the wood knobs in the photos are on my 11) and the added straps are no longer on it. PM me if you have any questions. I will try to take close-up pics of the body, but honestly if you are nitpicky about scratches this probably isn't the instrument for you (unless you opt for the refinish).
