Would like to sell this awesome bass.


I bought this bass thinking i wanted to go back to 4 string but i found a new bass and dont need 2 at this time.

This bass is one of the two basses that were used to demonstrate how Drake Custom builds basses. She was completed in November of 2010
Her name is “Marilyn”
neck is made of 2 pieces of quarter sawn Wenge topped with a 24 fret, 34 inch scale Wenge fretboard. bound the fretboard with Bloodwood to give this bass some color.

Her peghead facings are Wenge and the neck is finished in just a light coat of oil that gives her a raw smooth feel and a matte appearance.

Wenge is a self stabilized wood that does not require finish to resist warping. She also sports two carbon fiber stab rods and a dual action truss rod.

Her body is of blonde colored light weight Swamp Ash with a Wenge center block. Her satin finish is a light poly varnish to seal the wood without killing the tone.

Her electronics package consists of two EMG 3.0 Jazz pickups wired in a 9 volt configuration. These pickups are dead quiet even at high volume levels. The combination of wood and electronics makes this bass have a warmer focused low end and warm poppy mids and highs.

Hipshot brand hardware on this bass. Ultra-lite tuners, and an A style bridge that allows the player to adjust spacing.

She weighs in at 8 lbs. and measures 1.5 inches wide at the nut and 2.5 inches wide at the 24th fret

Andrew Drake is a good hardworking dude who lives in Iowa and makes great basses. His fretwork is especially nice.
