This is my old bass. I had Carey build it...that is a passive tone knob I had Carey add. Although this was originally a fretless with a ridiculously rare pink ivory board that has been fretted, but i can ASSURE YOU this is 100% a killer bass!
I want it, but am bass rich at the moment. Someone...please buy this. Worth every penny. This was Carey's absolutely first singlecut bass.

I once owned this bass (2006-2007). It was pretty cool. Very comfortable.

Very nice!
What kind of finish does this bass have ?
Oil finish? Gloss finish ? Some other kind of mate finish that does not require oiling or waxing the bass once a month ? Any idea ?
Thanks!

I can tell you as the guy who had it built, it has a very jazz bazz-feeling neck. 1.5 and very rounded edges, so it doesnfeel huge in the gand. IIRC, it was a relatively flat radius...maybe 16" then, however it has been fretted (grr...) But...a GREAT neck!

Thank you! Do you remember the string spacing?
