Lovely, miss my MG5 (though the board was far too wide for me). What's the string spacing, nut-width and build year on this?

If only it would be a 5....

The string spacing is 19.5mm, nut width is 39.5mm, it was built on October 2009 right when they started using the newest pope preamp where you can move the jumpers and have the third switch become a mid boost instead of a on/off switch. The bass was owned by someone who never took it out of the house before me, hence its pristine condition.

Bump for a breathtaking bass from one of the widely recognized connoisseurs and trustworthy sellers in the bass world.

Good luck Ari. I really have to fight my demons to not buy it in a heartbeat ... But I'm sure this will not last long.
