Details

Killer bass, just not getting played. Tons of tone possibilities.

Some details:
34" scale
Set-in neck (3-piece hard rock maple with matte finish)
Padouk fingerboard with 24 frets
18mm string spacing
Volume (push-pull to switch between active and passive), blend, bass, treble
Bassculture pickups w/ matching paddock wood covers
Delano preamp
Two switches, each for each pickup: series, single and parallel
Dunlop strap locks
Weighs about 9.5 pounds

It was built in Jan 2018 and I am the third owner (all have been great TB guys). I have only played it at home since I've had it. I have all the original paperwork and includes the Maruszczyk gigbag.

$1425 shipped CONUS.
(For the fun of it, I made a copy of this build in Maruszczyk's configurator and the bass would cost about $2500 to have made today.)

Would consider trade for a Nash, Moollon, Sandberg or other cool passive Jazz (plus cash on my end). Also wouldn't mind an HX Stomp thrown into a deal. Thx!

How about a mint Sandberg TM-2? Any interest?

Yeah, this is a great deal on a really cool Frog headless.
I love mine and one thing I think is not really promoted on this instrument is the level of comfort to play it. Because the length of the upper horn, this bass almost feels like you're playing a medium scale (32-33") so it is super comfortable to play. I'm reminded of this when I go from any of my other 34" basses to this one, the neck seems so much more accessible/reachable.

And the combo of the black with the Padouk is just cool :thumbsup:

An excellent point! It does feel much more accessible and agile than a "normal" 34" scale instrument. It's one of those really cool effects that isn't glaring but makes it a seriously natural-feeling comfy bass.
And you're spot-on with the color combo! The grain of the ash coming through the black, combined with the padouk is a real winner.

It's a good thing, or maybe a bad thing for the seller, that flat black is about my least favorite color on a guitar or bass...

Are there any wear/marks on the back finish? It's hard to tell from the picts with that matte black finish :)
Nope! The finish looks remarkable, aside from that one tiny mark on the upper horn (pictured above). It's entirely likely that this bass has been a practice room queen its whole life :smug:
