I bought this a few months ago and it is absolutely fantastic, I've never played a 5 string with such a defined B string - and that growl! However I don't have much need for a 5 string so can't see it being played as much as I'd like.
The bass is in superb condition. There is some very light rash/swirling to the rear of the body but hardly noticeable - in the picture the sunlight is shining directly on it and makes it look a lot worse than it is 😄
The neck is spotless as far as I can see.
The only issues of note are some slight tarnishing to the bridge, tuners and knobs, but they function perfectly well.
The bass has recently been set up with a low action and new Sadowsky strings.
