Bass has some minor scratches, dents, dings and player wear. None of which effects playability.

Phenomenal playing bass with fast low action!

Punchy, growly, organic piano like tone with a fantastic tight, articulate, and thunderous B string!

Extraordinarily versatile with Fat clear and articulate Lows, amazing mids, clean and clear highs! Vintage to modern sounding jazz tone!

Interested in trades for both 4 and 5 strings +\- cash. Let me know what you have!

 

I believe it may be more of the angle that I took the photos... lol

I honestly never thought twice about it before you mentioned that. The nice thing is that that stacked pot is your bass and treble controls. Makes it very easy to make adjustments on the fly.

 

The neck joint on Brubaker instrument is not a neck-through, a set neck, a bolt on, or a glue-in neck. It's kind of a combination of everything. Kevin Brubaker calls it, the neck-through bolt-on or bolt-through, because it goes deep into the body. The proprietary design provides the Brubaker basses with a unique quality about the instrument from a construction standpoint. It sets the Brubaker basses apart from other builders.


With this unique feature you get the sustain and resonance of a neck through and the growl and punch of a bolt on. In addition this unique neck construction also provides the instrument with its own unique voice and character. Really it is quite genius! It makes playing the instrument just an absolute pleasure!

 

I also love the satin finish and basically the entire look of this bass! It’s simple and keeps the traditional jazz look and feel, yet still manages to be unique and classy! Very appealing look to the eye IMO!
