Details

I love love love this bass. Unfortunately, I could really use the money for holiday shopping and my sons 1st birthday party. I'm sure there will be another SB-2 in my future, so I'll let this one go for now.

2014 model, in excellent shape. I really can't say there are any blemishes that I know of, but I don't have it in front of me to go over with a fine toothed comb. There is some marking at the truss rod access area, which is because the nut is a little low into the wood. I did some research and apparently some of their instruments just have the hole cut too low. The truss rod moves with no problem. This one has a quarter sawn neck, but it's not listed on the specs. The vintage white finish is really awesome.

The bass is set up in CGCF with Kalium balanced tension strings. The nut was filed a little on the low string slot to accommodate the larger gauge.

EDIT I filed the nut slot and recut it for a standard size E string. Currently strung up EADG with new Kaliums.

900 + shipping, no trades. Including the Protec Contego rigid gig bag. Located on Long Island but I drive to the Hudson Valley for work.

Let me know if you'd like more pictures, these are the only ones I have here with me at work.

Bump. I'm going to take 900+shipping with the Protec Contego.

My desire to keep this and my need to sell it are increasing over time...so please make this easy for me and someone buy it!

Update: I filled the nut slot and recut it, and strung the bass up EADG with Kaliums. Regular gauges. I'm on the fence about keeping it, but I'll still see if there's any interest. Bump!

Ok, here are some sound samples. First is a track that was recorded when this bass was still in CGCF tuning (this one weird trick to promoting your band and your FS bass in one post!):

And then here is a track I did comparing some slight overdrive effects. First time on each lick is straight to the computer without any tone editing. Still in CGCF, but less aggressive than the first track:

I will record some stuff in EADG soon and get that up so you can hear it with the volume knob turned down.

Here's a clip to show how the tone changes when you back the volume down. First take is P pickup up all the way, second is half way down. No J pickup at all and no adjusting tone other than to match the volume in the DAW.

I will consider trades for certain amps, plus cash on your end depending on the amp. Aguilar TH500, Fender Bassman 500/800, maybe Darkglass, V4B, etc.
