SOLD FS/MTD USA Custom 6 String Bass

Tbr community I need to sale this one today, my Mom is not doing well and I have to travel to Cancun to catch her alive, I have for my Airfare ticket and stay over there but I want to take an extra cash for any unexpected expenses. Any way this the bass description:

This is one of Michael's custom creations: The original owner order it Ash on Ash, with a Maple fingerboard and a maple top on the body. The original owner order a couple of Aero single coil pickups (Aero is the company that manufacture pick ups for the expensive Fodera basses besides EMG) the idea was to have the most organic and pure sound coming out of the wood combination. The pickups were installed by Michael and he did all the shielding on the preamp cavity. The idea was to install a preamp later. So an Audere preamp was installed. The bottom wing is shorter than the usual MTD 635 to have access to the upper frets. 35 scale, the string space at the bridge is 18mm, weight is 9.5 lbs on the bathroom scale. I got this bass on a trade thinking to sale or trade it since I am more of a 5 string player, but I have been using the bass on Gigs and rehearsals and I am mesmerized by the combination of Michael's craftsmanship with the Aero and the Audere. The sound is very organic, like a Jazz Bass, the prior owner stated on the add here on Talkbass that the bass was more for finger style and less for funky, but I tweak the preamp and got a good slapping tone not as crisp as the 535 or 635 bartolini preamp but more like a passive Fender Jazz Bass. The Audere preamp configuration is like this:

V/T stacked, Treble/Bass stacked, Blend/Mid, Two toggleswitches one for the Z Mode and the other 3 position Midrange frequency.
The bass is in brand new conditions and the neck is ergonomic but thinner than other MTD 635's extremely comfortable.

SALE PRICE JUST FOR TODAY IS $2500.00 PLUS SHIPPING.
