Details

This is a MIK Guild M-85 Reissue with bisonic pickup. No flaws that I can see in the finish. The neck and frets are in perfect shape and it plays great. I don't know the actual weight but it's slightly heavier than other hollow basses I have owned but not close to the weight of a solidbody. Probably somewhere in the 7 lb range. Original case and owners manual is included and the case is a beauty although does have some wear on the outside. Nothing major. $650 shipped in the USA OBO.

Note that glossy black is a pain to photograph without reflections. Anything that might look off is dust or a reflection. I need to hire professionals when trying to capture black basses.

johnny alien, i noticed in pic that d and g strings not in saddle groove, any issues with bridge or spacing?

Haha...no just not paying attention on my part. I put the stock tuners back on it and didn't notice that I didn't get it into the correct groove when I restrung it quickly. The photo has been updated. Thanks!

Lovely bass! Which strings are set up on this bass? Are those LaBella Low Tensions?

Always wanted to A/B one of the reissues with my ‘68, which is my number one bass.

I have one of these, and it's a very nice, fun bass to play.
there are a couple good youtube demos of it.

Cool. It's a looker for sure and I'm a sucker for chambered basses.

If you don't mind, what strings are you using? You find it works better with rounds (nickels?) or flats?

I'll pm you, I don't want to clutter the f/s thread with OT.

Just to clarify there are no issues with the finish at all. The bass is glossy and black making it difficult to photograph without reflections.
