This bass features an exceptional Quilt mapletop/back with amber-black/burst finish and an ash core. It has a very wide range of available tones and a very powerful sound. The "B" string is very tight and focused. It's certainly one of the best fretted 5's I've tried - both my instruments have exceptional tones (slightly different / woods) and playability. The only other 34"/5 with this quality of sound & playability (I've found) are Marleaux. Neck Radius = 16R . Nut = Brass . Pickup = Kent Armstrong . EQ = Xotic Bass Preamp (18V) . Tuner = Hip Shot Ultra light . Bridge = Kahler Fixed 5-st /Black . Control = 1-Vol, 1- Master Tone, 1- Balancer (Pan), 3-band EQ + (Rear) 4-mid frequency Switch, Output Gain Control .

This bass comes with it's original hard-shell case and keys. This being one of the original Xotic company basses - Volume and Blend knobs are push-pull coil tap for neck / bridge pickup(s). A small amount of the "Kent Armstrong" lettering has rubbed off of the bridge pickup. Xotic instruments now available from BassDirect. [/size][/color]

Yes, my error - current model is the XB. Not sure if it was previously SB. When I first saw them they were TB (early neck through or set-neck version/s):-

Well, you can't knock either, very different basses though. The 94's to me are the ultimate jack of all trade basses, so have a bump on that one

[busccini]

no trades???.

Thanks/replied. Payment pending on the 55-94 (from EU so will take longer). For Alph / others interested, I'll PM if anything changes.
For those who expressed a serious interest in the Xotic XB/2-5 you'll need to let me know quickly as I'll be removing from sale once the 5594 is fully concluded.
