yeah,, maybe a lot less too. Contact Greg Curbow at [email protected] Ask him if he has any in stock, he gaves the best prices on the Cort Curbows. And he will also offer you to install a custom pickup and electronics and a Curbow Custom Hardshell Case. I recommend you contact him.
I think my Ibanez SR400 was somewhere between 400 - 450. One of the main reasons I bought it was because it was unlined.
VOILA!!!!!!!!!!!! here ya go! i HIGHLY recommend these babies!!!!!!!! http://www2.marsmusic.com/store/product_new.jhtml?catid=2434&prodid=3750&skuid=0&deptid=4
Or you can make a passive one from a Carvin kit @ $340. Same parts as their "B4", don't know how good it is though.
That looks a bit different from the bass on their website, and the one I played on at Mars. Anyone else think that is odd?
And the newer design has Bartolini pickups, instead of Mighty Mites. That pic from Mars must be a closeout or something. I've never seen an Artisan without Barts.
I thought the first Artisan B4FL's I played had Mighty Mites and a 2 band EQ... like the one fred posted. Wenge neck, sweet bass.
