That's a great looking bass Wingspan... Not in the market to buy another bass, but if I was, I would consider this bass. My big reservation though, would be the 18mm spacing at the bridge, as my hands/fingers are just not large-and-long enough to handle that gap. I currently play an Ibanez 206, which I believe is 16-17mm... it also has a nice flat neck profile that allows me to comfortably wrap my hand around ta access the strings... Good luck on your sale!

Hi fivebass52! Actually, the 18mm string spacing was my request. Most of the 6 string basses on the market comes with a string spacing between 16mm - 16.5mm. And below 16.5mm, it's too tight for my hands and my fingers.

I'm also open to trades ! If you have a 6 string bass, and you're also looking for a trade, please let me know. I'm thinking about a Warwick Corvette 6 string bass right now, but it can be something else too.
