    I'm selling one of my Xotic XJ-1T 5 string basses. Its Natural Ash color
    and was made in 2011 I believe. It was a transitional time just before they started using luminova for the dots, so this bass has black side and face dots (which I actually prefer because I think it's easier to see in low light, no light probably not, but low light definitely).
    I've primarily used it on the Broadway shows over the last few years, and various other gigs and it's been great. It's still one of my main basses, but I want to buy a new 6 string version Xotic has come out with and I have to sell one to buy one since I have 9 of their basses currently (and live in a NYC apt).
    It's at my theatre right now for the show Pippin, but I'll try to get some pics of it and post them.
    There are a few small finish dings from being used as a working instrument but certainly nothing that I would consider bad. I like to keep my basses as mint as I can, but little things happen when you use it every day and when subs of mine come in and play when I'm not there.
    I sent it back to Xotic 9 months ago and they replaced the preamp to the most current version.
    I will include an Xotic video (I don't like all the talking, but the bass is there) where I'm using the bass if you want to see the exact one, but like I said I should have pics soon.

    FYI there's fretless in this video as well that is not for sale.

    Tri-logic 2 Bass Preamp: Three Band EQ (high, mid, low) boost & cut. Center position produces flat, unaltered sound, with no added tonal coloration.

    * Mini Toggle Switch - Use the Switch closer to the headstock to switch the mid-frequencies (400Hz/800Hz), and the other Switch to switch the treble-frequencies (6Hz/12kHz).
    * Pre-set gain control to boost gain by one to three times (located in back panel for easy access).
    * 18V drive is for more headroom, which allows incoming signals to pass through cleanly, without clipping the high-end or low-end frequencies. (Requires two 9V batteries)

    Tri-logic 2 Bass Preamp Frequency Specification

    SW1 (Mid Switch): UP/DOWN - 400Hz / 800Hz - ±12dB
    SW2 (Bright Switch): UP/DOWN - 6KHz / 12K - ±18dB
