Mikkel-S Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) A careful feeler.. This bass is amazing.. But I am not really feeling 5 strings on fretless to be honest. So I am thinking about moving this MONSTER of a fretless. Absolutely stunning in every aspect. Ridiculously lightweight (3kgs), extremely responsive and resonant bass.. Perfect playability. Nothing to NOT like. However this bass has been played.. ALOT. Professionally by Dave Swift (original owner). Alot of pick wear on the top if you look closely. I dont care - but it needs to be mentioned. Walnut top, Alder body. Mahogany neck and ebony board. Piezo and individual volume for B-E and A-D-G.. Custom option made especially on Daves request. Original Rob Allen case included.. In funky faux alligator skin finish.. (Sorry about pictures.. bad lighting.. Will supply better ones as soon as the rain clears) Edited May 24, 2016 by Mikkel-S
alyctes Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Wow. Far outside my price range, or my skill, sadly. How does the volume setting work? Is there a control inside the electronics cavity?

Good luck with the sale.

And stacked bass/treble.
