I bought this bass about 3 weeks ago on here from kevsy71 and it is really is excellent; however, I recently received some inheritance money. I have promised my wife a 1 in, 1 out rule on my basses and have my eye on something vintage so sadly this has to go. Versatile EQ and incredibly easy to play. Was bought as my first 5 string and with 19mm spacing it was an easy switch. If the bass I am after sells then I will probably withdraw this sale. £1300 including shipping to the UK (comes in an old Cort hardcase which will be very well packed) Ad details stolen from previous sale here: Specs Weight: 4.7 kg Scale: 34" Nut: 47mm String spacing: 19mm, adjustable Xotic A-type bridge 22 frets with luminlay fret markets - activate with a torch or other light source, and they glow on a dark stage. Controls: Chrome pots: Volume - Blend - Passive tone Black pots: Active bass/mid/treble Switches for mid and treble centre frequencies Push/Pull Volume for active/passive Push/pull passive tone for Hum Reduction Inducter (a $150 add-on option which works brilliantly!) For other details see here: http://xotic.jp/instruments/basses/xj-series/index_e.html (this explains the bass was designed in California, built in Japan, and finished in California!) "The production of each high quality Xotic bass guitars begins in our Los Angeles, CA shop where the wood, shape, color, hardware, pickups and all other features are precisely designed for each instrument. Every model goes through an extensive process of R&D to determine which wood, construction and electronics will best serve its envisioned use. These exact specifications are then sent to T’s Guitars in Japan. T’s Guitars has an enduring reputation of producing exceptional hand quality instruments in Japan and Xotic has a long and ongoing relationship with them.

Guitars are then shipped to our California shop where our Master Luthier will inspect each instrument. Fretwork is finalized with a fret dress that addresses every facet of the fret surface. Additional setup includes string height, truss rod adjustments and fine-tuning of pickups and electronics. Particular attention is giving to the instruments playability, tone, fit and finish." Also see the spec sheet in the photos. Cosmetics: Excellent condition, I can't find any body marks that would show up on a photo. A few minor scuffs and dings on the headstock.

Pm sent.

Can't sell it. Still the best 4 string I've ever played.
