$975 + shipping, USA.

International, PM me.

That pic is of pjmuck's bass... my bass is exactly like it. I'll add pics of my bass tonight or tomorrow.

It's in great condition... it has some minor play wear... swirling, fingernail rubbing and that kind of thing... but no major dings, dents, or nicks at all. Neck is super straight and solid, and fretwork is killer. This bass sets up amazingly well and is super solid all the way around. I've heard that some people have had weird experiences with these basses, but I must have got one of the good ones... it's nearly flawless in set-up and construction.

I also upgraded the electronics, and it sounds absolutely killer... it now has Seymour Duncan Antiquity II pickups in it along with an oil can capacitor, cloth wires and reverse audio taper pots, for true lefty control. I'll include the original electronics as well, since I still have them... but they're not that great, so I wouldn't bother putting them back in.

It also includes the all black Fender deluxe G&G hardshell case, which is pretty much mint.... and it has a Hipshot D-tuner on it as well. I'll include the original tuner.

Weight is a little under 9.5 lbs.

Shipping would be about $150 via USPS with a maximum insurance value of $650. I'll only accept wire transfer as a form of payment for international sales at this time, since I would assume all the risk with PayPal.

I have all the original electronics for the bass and they will be included, however, since the pots are all righty pots wired lefty and the pickups don't sound that great, I would recommend you leave it as is.

The bass doesn't come with any of the original case candy... which was a cheap strap and even cheaper guitar cable. But it does come with the original deluxe G&G hardshell case.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Ok, here are pics with updated info... this is probably the hardest bass to photograph I've ever had. Is it red? Is it orange? Who knows? :lol:

But that's what makes it cool, in my opinion. :D

It appears that I DO have the original case candy. It's been so long since I opened the case I forgot I had it.

Exact weight is 9.24 lbs.

If you have any other questions, let me know!!!

Hipshot D-Tuner installed, with matching tuner.

Image
The ash on this body has a super tight grain... Nice!

Image
Check out that rosewood... yum!

Image
Here you can see how I widened the control cavity to fit a regular sized tru-lefty tone control... it's a perfect fit and cannot be seen with the pickguard on.

Image
Super fancy oil-can capacitor and reverse audio taper pots, for true lefty control and a nice, smooth taper from 0 to 10.

Image
Another shot befor polishing, but it shows the ash a little better.

Image
Original electronics... it has a mini tone control that is standard audio taper, so when it's wired lefty it works like an on/off switch. This is how it came from the factory. To me, the pickups sounded honky and didn't have much throaty low-mid girth. The Seymour Duncan Antiquity II pickups I put in sound WAY better.

Image
The original case candy & hang tags... cable, strap, polish cloth, sticker, catalog, etc.

Image
The original tuner.

Image
Fender branded G&G case.

Official weight on the kitchen scale.
