    Thinning the herd continues...

    1. Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling, excellent condition, can't find a scratch. Bathroom scale 9.1 lbs. Currently set up with DR Sunbeams 40-120, low action, effortless to play. Will throw in a set of Cobalt flats to the buyer. $1100.00...price reduction $1000 (SOLD!)

    2. Kudela Fretless 5, passive, SD NYC Dual Coil, V/T and toggle (single coil, parallel and series), Black Limba body, ebony fingerboard and if I recall correctly a 7 piece maple, mahogany and walnut neck, 35” scale, 19mm, 9lbs. Original owner/custom order. Never felt the need to add an onboard preamp here. Plays effortlessly, mwah and growl in all settings, but especially so in series with round wounds. Currently set up with EXL170-5SL. $1100.00...price reduction $1000.

    3. Claudio Núñez 5 string fretless, 34”. One piece quarter sawn jatoba neck, Gabon ebony fingerboard, Cerejeira body, Chilean hazelnut top with asymmetrical divisions of Brazilian Kingwood, one Aero humbucker pickup, Aguilar preamp 18v (V/B/M/T), Schaller M2 2000 hand-polished tuners. 19mm, 9 lbs. Plays effortlessly and growls as well and is definitely on the punchy side. Strung up with EXL170-5SL as well. $1250.00...price reduction $1150….last reduction $1000...(SOLD!)

    Build, playability and tone wise, I would stack these fretless basses up against any brand. I'll also throw in another set of the XLs to the first buyer for either fretless.

    All prices include shipping and insurance, Paypal is acceptable.

    Thanks!

    Brian

    Had a Claudio Nunez about 10 years ago and the build quality is as good as it gets.

    Both fretless basses are 34” scale. Added to OP.—-correction for Kudela spec. It has a 35” inch scale. A gentlemen was researching the bass and found the specs and asked for clarification. Embarrassing, considering I was the one who ordered it with my specs…my bad, getting old lol

    PM answered about the Kudela. The fingerboard isn't totally blank, it has traditional side dots and side/front partial lines to help with intonation.
