This is a one of a kind fretless bass. It was made for Kev Hopper (Stump, Prescott, Spoombung) by Alan Cringean of ACG Guitars.
I bought it at this forum 2 years ago for 1600,- GBP. It is in almost like new condition. Never gigged, only played at home.
I'm asking for 1300,- GBP including shipping inside Europe.

American Black Walnut body with a Native Walnut top.
Deep set neck made from Wenge/Bubinga/Flame Maple. Acrylic Impregnated lined Ebony board.
Hipshot Type A with piezo and FB neck pickup and SB bridge pickup ACG EQ01 pre-amp.
Two Hipshot extenders on the E and G string.
This bass also has a piezo element under the nut. This has it's own pre-amp to buffer it before going into the ACG EQ01.
It produces interesting tonalities, adds complexity and when mixed in subtly produces an almost acoustic, double bass effect.
There is extensive carving on both the front and back of the bass all with a satin finish.

The bass is in Munich. I'm not really interested in trades.
Here are some links with more infos and pics of the bass:

Drooled over this beast last time it was up on here. Sadly I don't think my fretless skills are worthy or capable of filling leitnerJoe or Kevs boots so to speak.

+1 to that, I was severely tempted myself.

Sorry it's not going to help much, but I just discovered your youtube channel via the links posted above, man, you're totally out of order ! And that's to be taken as a compliment ! The walrus mask made me click on that subscribe button.
And I have to agree with Brother Jones, Chinese Fly is the best thing I have seen on youtube in ages.

As the whole point of this post is to sell the bass, I wish you that, but I really think you should keep it, it fits you like a wet suit.
