Time to clear some stuff again as I really don't use my fivers !!!

So for sale or trade for a 6 stings bass ONLY :

STRADI Symphony Bass Fretless 5 !

Fantastic fretless bass from a great Polish luthier named Marek Dąbek who is making some really great sounding basses. This one is #6, a special order from a bass player who wanted to be able to either mix the magnetic Delano pickup with the Stradi piezo coupled to a Fishman preamp on a mono output or split the signal via the same output but with a stereo cable (delivered). Using two inputs on your amp (preamp or console) can turn this bass into the ultimate versatile fretless bass...
