Details

Fretless
  1. Y
It's a beautiful bass that I never use (turns out that I'm partial to my Fender P Frankenstein fretless), so maybe someone else can. It's fitted with LaBella tapewounds, and eveything is in flawless shape, save for a screw that's missing from the truss cover. And, the hardshell case is not original, but it fits perfectly. Weight on the bathroom scale is 10.0 lbs even.

I'd consider a trade in lieu of cash. In particular, I am looking for a Cali76-TX compressor, but am also interested in acquiring a good short scale bass.

If you're interested, there's a fantastic review/demo by Ed Friedland here:

Some quick specs:
  • Body: mahogany, Acoustically chambered
  • Neck: 5-pc; Hard maple with Walnut stringers
  • Neck Shape: D-shaped; Satin Finish
  • Neck Joint: Deep-Set; 5-bolt
  • Nut width: 1.68”
  • Truss Rod: Adjustable
  • Scale Length: 34”
  • Fingerboard: rosewood with pearloid dot inlays
  • Fingerboard Radius: 14
  • Neck Pickup: NanoMag™ low-impedance
  • Bridge Pickup: NanoMag™ low-impedance
  • Bridge: rosewood with string-thru body design


$775, buyer pay shipping (CONUS).

Looks like a cool bass, the string spacing looks narrow, do you know what it is?

Thanks!

Man...I know it's Ed Friedland, and he can make any bass that's in tune/has a decent setup/is going thru a decent rig sound good, but that might be one of the best-sounding basses I have ever heard, not to mention it LOOKS amazing too...:drool:

Is this model still in production? Anyone know if they made (and/or still make) a 'blank plank' version?

It’s been out of production for a long time.
 
Would also consider a trade. I've currently got my eye out for a cool short scale bass. I'm also interested in the Cali76 bass comps. Drop a line if you've got one or the other and are interested in working a trade!

Given that this bass is still here, :wideyed: I can only assume that most other TBers (A) have more discipline and/or (B) even less discretionary spending money than myself...and/or (C) aren't in the market for a chambered fretless...
