Awesome !

Sweet mother of god, I wish I had any sort of money for that. Good luck with the sale!

Edit: I meant to say that this really reminds me of the construction of my Louis Johnson bass; there's something about the Japanese luthiers that make amazingly crafted basses! I would LOVE to try/own one of these.

What nut width is it?

I seem to remember it's an 'in-between' width of around 1.625" (42mm).

If it was a slinky J width of 1.50" I'd be seriously interested in one of these!

Having watched a video of Chuck talking about these basses, I think it's a fairly narrow width one?

@molan and chuck here a pic of the nut

I have the xjit 4 .. It's fantastic , best bass is my collection .. Go on Barrie try something Xotic 😄,, john

Just found a reference to nut width on the Xotic site and they quote it at 42mm (as per the pic) so it is the 'in between' width.

Any idea roughly how much it weighs?

If I didn't have a Lull PJ arriving on Tuesday I'd be all over this!

@Molan : buy this one too, that way you'll can compare ;-)

Are you reading my mind Fred?

It's right on the cusp of the weight I can handle, the Lull is only 3.6kg!

[chuck_stones]

Go on Barrie, grab it and if you don't like it, I'll buy it off you in 6 months!

[comno]

I agree with you chuck ! ;-))

[Taa]

what a beautiful instrument here! good luck with the sale!

[chuck_stones]

Just out of idle curiosity, what trades are you interested in on this? Not that I have any trade bait, but someone else might?

[markbass555]

This bass was originally mine which I had traded a Dingwall for. Only reason I sold it was to get another Dingwall as I loved the fanned frets.
It's a cracking bass. Sorry you didn't get on with it Fred

[shemeckfrac]

unusual but nice !

[comno]

@chuck :
Possible trade for a Mike Lull MV5 or MV4.

SOLD Thanks !
