SOLD Xotic XB-2 Burled Maple over Ash, Ebony fingerboard. Series/Parallel coil tap.

This beautiful XB-2 has a swamp ash body with a highly figured maple burl top...3 piece maple neck, ebony board, with circle inlays. Ebony headstock laminate (front and back).

I've always wanted to try one of these rarities and it does not disappoint. One of the most ergonomic basses I've played. Killer playability and tone but I probably shouldn't have bought it. I could use the cash more right now.

It has Kent Armstrong pickups with the Xotic 3 band pre...series parallel switches (pull up on volume and tone to access) for the pickups and a passive active switch. The B string is explosive.

19mm string spacing, and in excellent overall condition.

There are a few dings/signs of wear here and there and the Kent Armstrong wording is coming off a little on the neck pickup. Comes with quality Gruv Gear Sliver case.

This one also has the mid range frequency select dip switches on the electronics cavity on rear. See pic.

A real beauty, it plays effortlessly with low action. Balance is superb. You don't see these all that often. A real unicorn in the bass world. Here's your chance.






Edit: Decided to put back on the market and lowered the price because I noticed the volume pot (which is also push/pull) is a bit loose. It is fully functional but acts a little funny sometimes. I want to be honest about that fact. Xotic sent me a link to the replacement pot which is like $5 and it should probably be replaced. Priced for quick sale. I know times are tough for many.

$2800 $2480 + $50 shipping CONUS. PAYPAL is fine.

As for trades, I'm primarily looking for a Ken Smith (plus cash from me to you). Might be interested in something else, you never know.

Thanks for looking!

 

A few have asked about weight. Just 8.8 lbs. according to digital bathroom scale. Superb balance too with no neck dive.

 

I've come to my senses. I'd be crazy to sell this.

I also decided to accept trades and would be interested in a Sadowsky Modern 5 or Devon 5 string.

Ok. I had pulled this bass off the market... but alas. I need to sell it. Back on the market.
