    Price:
    Trade only
    Strings:
    5
    Location:
    Rhode Island
    Aries handmade neck through
    Mahogany body wings
    Spalted maple top
    9 piece neck
    Wenge fretboard
    Aries custom wound pickups and 18v preamp
    V-B-B-M-T are the controls
    2 mini toggles for series parallel I assume
    Matching spalted pup covers
    Light weight ! I'd guess around 8lbs give or take an ounce
    34" scale
    Bass plays great and sounds organic and woody with great punch (think ken smith tone)
    Truss rod is tight but does work when turning either way. Just had it setup and plays effortlessly .. Neck is thin and plays fast with low action ...
    It's a players bass with minor play wear as expected from a bass that's gigged .. I have no problem keeping it in just feeling for something a little dif image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg ferent in trades ...
    5 string basses only
    34" scales please
    Trade value is set around 1800-2000
