This one is soooooold!!! I'll be closing the thread after everything is all set!
Price Drop! AGAIN! and trade request list added!
I got this beauty at the beginning of the year, a few weeks before I ended up quitting the band that I bought it for. I bought it used, and used it for one of my musicals that I play for. Since then it's been in a case.
I talked to Gard when I got it and this is the spec info I received back.
"According to the serial number, this is what you have:
Century Signature 5
Amboyna Burl top
Mahogany body
Natural Gloss finish
Bartolini pickups (custom-wound for us)
Aguilar OBP-3 preamp (an option, the Bart 3-band is "stock")
Wedge neck (would need to see the back to identify all the woods)
Macassar Ebony fingerboard
Diamondwood nut
Black hardware"
According to the magical bathroom scale, it's about 9.5 lbs
It's an amazing bass, it plays great, sounds great, looks phenomenal! However, I just don't play it, and that's a crime for this bass not to be played.
My #1 hesitation in selling this is the price Gard told me it would cost to replace this when I was insuring it. Basically, there is no way on earth I could afford another one like this!
There have been a few owners before me. This is definitely one of the most comfortable basses I've played, fast and comfortable.
$2̶6̶0̶0̶, $2̶5̶0̶0̶....now $2300 shipped to the 48.
I will entertain trade offers.
I'm only interested in 5 string basses, nothing fretless. Definite possibility in trading up by adding cash, or trading down and receiving cash! Probably the latter, as I could use the money. But if the perfect bass presents itself, I'll find a way to add money.
Basses of interest:
Most PJ 5 string basses on jazz bodies will get my attention quickly
Sadowsky PJ5 (Metro or other) The PJ on the jazz bodies are the best.
Possibly would like to try an Xotic XJ-1T 5
or try Dingwall Super PJ5
A safety pick would be a Sandberg VM5 +$, as I know I like my TM5, but want a P in the neck.
of course I know some of these I'd need a little cash and some I'd need to add cash.
However, I love seeing trade offers so PM me with whatever you may have.
I didn't get a hard case with it. I have one that I will use for safer shipping.
I'm not the greatest photographer, but here are these.
Please feel free to PM me with any questions at all.
