Hi All,
I have decided to sell "Barney", a 6 string Warmoth Jazz bass that I restored last year. Between the basses I already have and the basses I'm buildlig for myself, Barney just doesn't get much playing time.
The neck is a 5 piece maple and mahogany, with a nice, dark and oily rosewood fingerboard. The action is excellent (typical excellent fretwork from Warmoth). The neck has dual truss rods, both of which work perfectly and the nuts on them turn nice and smooth. Fingerboard is a 12" radius.
Body is alder, with a quilted maple top. Not the best figuring in the quilt, imho.
This neck was originally sold by Warmoth as a "really big 5" or something to that nature. It was marketed as a 5 string bass neck with full string spacing, that was wide enough for 6 strings, which is how it had been setup before I bought it. The neck is about 3 1/8" wide at the last fret.
It has two EMG 45-P active pickups. Currently wired for stereo outputs, although I will be happy to rewire for Mono for you. The bridge is a black Kahler, and the tuners are chrome. Black Dunlop straplocks are included.
Currently setup with Ken Smith stainless steel rockmaster strings, .030 to .130.
Barney has that great "fender" sound and feel!

I would like to get $450, which includes a hardshell case.

But the style of music I play (modern gospel and smooth jazz)demands a useable range from the low b. I really can appreciate all of the time/effort that you've put into this bass and would love to have it. If you still have it in about a week and the b string is okay.You can contact me direct if you like my e-mail addy is in my profile
