Full disclosure: This is a DIY refinish. From the front, the paint looks very rich, deep and glossy – really striking IMO. There are some rough spots and blemishes, mainly around the heel and where the neck meets the body. There are a few imperfections in the paint – a very small ding on the top edge, a few pinhead size white spots here and there, and a couple very small chips around the battery door and back cover. The battery door has some scratches, and there is some faint scratching in the clear coat on the back. LTD logo is hand-painted and therefore a little rough when viewed up-close.

I had one of these a few years back. Really cool bass. Not easy to find at all.

Hello. Do you still have this for sale?? Cheers.

Yes, this bass is still for sale. I've had a few trade offers, but I'd really prefer cash to offset recent PA upgrades.

Note: the pics show the old SGD pickups, which I thought sounded pretty weak and bland. I swapped them out for GFS MM Pro Ceramics, which have a lot more character, IMO.
