    Oooooooh, mama! Just look at this bass. It's a thing of beauty and in mint condition. MG Bass JB1 neck through 5-String (2020) Curly Spalted Maple w/used Rock Case included as shown in photos. When I saw it, I had to buy it, so I did - even though I was well aware that Bartolini pickups and/or preamps have historically never bonded well with me. It looks fantastic, it plays really really good... and it has Bartolini pickups in it (and a LowEnd preamp). I'm used to Sadowsky and/or Aguilar. It's an awesome bass, looks way cooler in person than photos and videos can show, but not right for me. if you're a Bartolini fan - or a fan of MG Basses - this is a great bass for you. 10.7 lbs on my digital scale.

    Video is me with this exact bass. Sorry the window unit AC was running the whole time and you can hear it in the background…
