FS/FT: 6-string Custom Built 'M' bass prototype. SOLD

[eubassix]

This is a bass which I've had for some time and, whilst I found/find it a bit less of a handful than the Celinder 6 (!), I don't really have the time (nor patience) to spend developing. It was originally a proto-type six (6) string Bass Guitar from Marshall (John Marshall / USA) Custom - used only in the shop for customers to try out. From the links below you can see the new basses recently built from this model.
It has an Alder two-piece body and a Five-piece neck made from Walnut/Mahogany/Maple/Mahogany/Walnut. It has a 20" radiused Wenge Fretboard with a very slim, nice profile. The pickups are G&B Passive six string Jazz Style. It originally had Two Volumes and One Tone Control - I found this a bit limited and have upgraded with a full 3EQ system which has added greatly to the overall tone(s). I need to add some more photos of the bass as it is now (i.e. 5 controls). It is strung through the body. The Tuners are open back high quality and are quite close on the headstock, allowing for a narrow headstock shape (guitar-style - I think John makes more guitars than basses, form the website) with the "M" Script logo. It has Two Dual Action Truss Rods. Weight is 9.5lb
The Bass plays nicely - with the design and 34" scale it works well as a 6 string bass, which isn't something of a monster, but could also be strung as a tenor or tuned differently for chord work. There are a few small scratches from the shop. Also a couple of scratches on the neck heel but for all practical purposes it is new/excellent overall.
Some specs.: 34" scale. 2.125 (2&1/8th)" nut width. 2&7/8th" at f.24. String spacings: 8.5mm (nut) , 13.5mm (f.24) and 16mm spacing on the saddles.
As you can see from the links, the new basses (6, 5 and 4-string) are based on this model but are far more exotic (and expensive) and c. $2k. Should also be some links (within the site) to other basses and basists using them.

ARRRRGHHH Will someone buy this f***ing beautiful bass please?!?! I'm getting seriously depressed over this.

EDIT: Oh, I may have been a bit dramatic. But still, if you buy it, I won't have to look at it every hour with a tear in my eye.

agh im so tempted! =(

That Ebay link's not working for me. I've been staring at this bass for months now. So beautiful. I've had to prioritise my cash elsewhere, but i'll still cry when it sells

[leschirons]

I can't believe that this has been reduced by more than 50% and is still here. This is wallhanger money for what is probably a fabulous bass. If only I had some spare wall.

[cheddatom]

OH MY GOD!!! I thought this was gone and had a little cry about it. If it's still here on the 25th you're getting a proper firm offer (it looks like you've been messed about a bit?!?!).
