SOLD Prat M-BSV 5 string, Gallery Grade Koa Special Drop

Alright, this is my weekend "I need some ground effects for my Vette" sale...down from $2400 (already a great price) to $2100 shipped!!! Help me, Help you..

Let me just say, I am a Prat fan, in my experience, the quality, playability, and stability of them set them apart in a way that their price point does not represent. A combination dear to my heart. I had been looking for a 33 scale bass to test, and I spotted this one on the forum. It was not for sale. With some research I found out who had it. It is a beautiful instrument and I was lucky enough to pry it out it's owners hands. It is in immaculate condition, I included a picture of the only mark i noticed (very shallow), on the lower bout of the back of the bass. The Wenge neck is beautiful, and you'll see in the pic, a thick slab. Like all the Prat's i've owned, the neck is dead straight and plays easily. The Nordy's and Knoll 4 band pre is a good combo.
This was put under the bed as a 'keeper'! But...
I have been sitting on too many of my 'favorite' basses, I wanted them all... And as this site always proves, I'm not the only one...
But, Priorities are shifting, I am going to let go of a few 'under the beds' if you know what I mean...
I think I'm pricing this $100 below what I paid, I'm not sure, maybe the owner lowered it to this price for me... Memory.... $2400 plus shipping.

Low action has been my preference since I started... it’s why I tend to fixate on necks... they need to be stable and flat (to the eye)...

 

Sorry for not responding quicker, I have been in Santa Fe for a conference since thursday night, will be back on Monday... But, Thanks mojojim. I have 3 prat' with flat finger boards and two which are radiused. I play with my action low, so I think..., unless I'm bending a string, I don't notice any difference when playing chords. I think with your question on the octave, I don't want to give you any misinformation, because I am not home to test it for you. BUT, I haven't had any problem with the high C, though I do have light strings on this bass. I put them on there to have fun with the 33' scale... It's all about feeding the soul. Maybe I'm spending too many days in Santa Fe...

 

Responded!

 

Thanks for that lowendmafia, it was a good wood choice....

 

It's actually a pick up cover, not a ramp. Never taken it off...

 

Thanks maxximusic...

This is definitely priced too low, but I'm on a mission!

 

Too funny!!!! B through G! It’s a beautiful, tight bass, at a crazy price....

 

Still available... $2100

 

Wow... Alright, I made a big boo boo up there... This bass is strung as it originally was, B to G... I made a mistake and said E to C, and never reread it... I just fixed it...
