Manne 6 string fretless custom - YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS! £1900

[giovabass]

I sell my amazing 6 string fretless. Original owner, it's a custom Manne bass, an italian hand made brand that is also available in many high end bass shops in the USA. I'm the original owner and used the bass only at home and for few jazz gigs.
I sell because I don't play 6 strings anymore and need the money. Before this I also sold my other 6er, a USA MTD 634-24.
The bass sounds and feels amazing, some friends/colleagues that tried it said it was the best and easiest fretless they ever played and I can only agree with that.
And despite the internet legends related to low B string and scale length, this bass has definitely one of the best low B ever (probably thanks to the reverse headstock and the string-thru body system), it beats easily many boutique 35" scale basses that I tried or had!
Below are specs and link to photos.
