Details

I need to sell a 2016 Mensinger Cazpar 5-string short-scale (30") bass in excellent condition. The instrument features a mahogany body, very fine high-gloss eye poplar top, one-piece bolt-on maple neck, and 22-fret maple fretboard with a zero fret and abalone dot inlays. Electronics consist of Domanski J and MM pickups, with eye poplar covers, and a 2-band EQ with an active/passive push/pull pot.

The only flaws or blemishes in the instrument are some slight playing wear on the back of the body, a small dent in the finish at one corner of the top of the headstock, and some faint scratches at one edge of the control cavity cover, all of which I have photographed below.

The bass is currently strung with a brand new set of DR Sunbeam SNMR5-45 (.045-.065-.085-.105-.125) nickel-plated steel round-core roundwound strings. And, although they're used, I'll be happy to include also the Dunlop Super Bright DBSBS45125S (.045-.065-.085-.105-.125) stainless steel roundwound strings that I installed when I bought the bass. It comes with the original stock Maruszczyk gig bag. An equivalent new build today would cost approximately €2,030 ($2,225).

Specifications:
  • Serial number: 120219
  • Scale length: 30.0" (762mm)
  • Number of frets: 22
  • Nut width: 1.97" (50.0mm)
  • Neck width at the 22nd fret: 2.70" (68.7mm)
  • String spacing at the bridge: 0.63" (16.0mm)
  • Controls: Volume (push/pull for active/passive) | Blend | Bass boost/cut | Treble boost/cut
  • Overall length: 42.5" (1,080mm)
  • Weight: 8.60 lbs (3.90 kg)

My asking price is $800 shipped (so CONUS only), but any and all reasonable offers will be considered, as the instrument must be sold. The payment method is negotiable, although I'd much prefer alternatives to PayPal/Venmo (e.g., Zelle, check, bag o' cash, etc.). All requests for additional information and/or photos are very welcome.

What brand of pickups and Preamp?:thumbsup::cool::bassist:

I bought this bass used, and the seller neglected to provide information about the electronics (and I neglected to ask). I presume that the pickups are Domanski, since they're maybe the only brand for which the Maruszczyk Configurator offers matching wood covers.

As to the preamp, I have no idea beyond the fact that it's a 2-band. Here's a photo of the control cavity, in case it might be more familiar to you:

Nice bass. I have 2 Maruszczyk basses now and really like them. I would be very interested in yours but the price is too high. I have had one in the past and when I had to sell it, it was extremely hard to sell. Anyway, I am interested in it at $550 including shipping to N. California. Thank you for your time.
