View attachment 2925970

34", active, EMG-HZ, V/V/B/M/T, neck-thru, brass nut, Maple Top, Mahogany Body, Mahogany neck.
I am really liking this. I was able to set the action quite low with the monolithic bridge system. Has flats which I thought was a bit odd of a choice for this bass by the previous owner.

It's certainly a special bass. So many acoustics tend to look the same and just blend together.
That one stands out in a big way to me.

What make and model is that bass floor pedal? Is it a Korg? .... I’m in the market for one, how do you like it?

The bass pedal is a Korg MPK-130. I like it a lot (Geddy and Alex both had 2 when I saw them years ago). It's lighter than a Taurus (it probably weighs 15 lbs, or so) and is hooked into a MOOG Minitaur (on the desk), so it has that sound. It can also be used as a MIDI trigger. It has a 3 octave footswitch behind the MapleGlo Rick and a MOOG expression pedal (I use it for Volume, but it can used for Pitch, or Filter expression, too). Here's a better pic of the pedal and a pic of Geddy with his.

It may look like a lot of other basses, but it's special to me. Fender Classic Series '60s Jazz Bass.

My current bass guitar family.

Parts precision

Spector Euro (2005) blue quilt

SSD NS95 red five string

Precision parts bass with 62 reissue Fender CIJ jazz neck

Black Rogue Fretless

I nearly bought this same Rogue bass I haven't played fretless since I was 9-10 and I nearly bought it, but playing classic rock covers I was afraid it wouldn't see much if any gig time, so I grabbed another fretted bass instead. But I always have it in the back of my mind.
