This is a great bass. One of the best sounding basses I’ve ever played with a band. It has that tone that sits right in the mix and is always heard but never overbearing. Simple fact is the standard neck with the 1 7/8” nut isn’t working out for me.
It’s in excellent condition. There’s a very small chip/ding on the headstock, which is the only real blemish on the bass. The top is simply beautiful – much better looking than my photographic skills can show.

$3200 shipped CONUS. PayPal is preferred, but I can make other arrangements if necessary. I will only ship the bass to a US address.
Straight sale preferred, but as far as trades go, I’m really only interested in the following +/- cash as appropriate:
- Sadowsky 4 or 5 (with 1 ¾” nut)
- A really good P-Bass (Fender, Nash, Lakland, Lull)
Any trades would need to be light, around 9 lbs or less.
