Thinning down the herd, so selling my fretted basses as I don't use them...  :crazy:

In fully working condition and real good condition for such a rare bass that has never been modified.

 

Here are the specifications :

Neck : 3 pieces (bolt-on) maple

Fingerboard : maple

Frets : 24 (perfect condition as they have been dressed)

Headstock : 3 + 3 shape

Will come with a brand new soft case or a gig bag, up to you, or both of them.

Non-smoking environment as usual.

 

It has some marks, mainly above the neck pickup (thumb anchoring), at the rear and on the upper edge of the head. This bass is known to be the best 36 inches bass ever and you can trust this affirmation. With the two preamps, you can have a deep Motown sound and, simply by flicking a switch, engaging the second preamp for a tone à la Jaco. Certainly the most versatile bass you can find. Even Fodera owners consider this bass to have the best low B on the market. And its ergonomics is perfect.

 

The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has a new batteries, new output jack and has been fitted with a brand new set of DR Black Beauties BKB6-30 coated stainless steel wound strings (30 - 45 - 65 -85 -105 -125).

What you see is what you get !

Look at the pictures taken under different lights to see the real condition : some few marks, due to the age, but nothing serious at all.

Don't hesitate to ask for more.

Dust is offered. :biggrin:

Sorry, asking more out of curiosity. I have the TWB-6 (see signature pic), so as much as I wouldn't mind this model, I'm not sure I could justify having both sixers. That said, if you fancy a USA Jazz or a couple of Westone Thunder II's...!?! ;)
