Hi Folks.Having a re-edit on this to hopefully stir up some interest..plus a few corrections..sorry!

This is a CB Ball lined fretless bass dating back to 2009. www.cbbasses.com  Purchased from www.thelowend.net..you can find more info in Thier sold bass thread under CB basses.

It is a 32 inch (medium scale) Ebony nut 1.5 inch.Width at 24th position 2.625 inch and corrected weight 8.2 lbs not as previously stated 12lbs!!!!

It features a beautiful Blood wood top and headstock veneer..2 piece mahogany core..stunning walnut back..slim and fast maple and wenge neck..beautiful accent veneers at neck (see photos) and a lined ebony fretless board..in excellent condition..position dots are on the notes....Finished in a tung oil/resin..

It has a hipshot bridge and ultralight tuners..Nordstrand SE's pickups encased in ebony pick up covers..lovely touch this.A removable ebony ramp between pickups..ebony control knobs are volume/pan/tone passive..

For disclosure..the neck had a small shrinkage split by the E string near the nut, that was professionally repaired by Jon Shuker..no movement whatsoever in 7 years..Jon said very common on ebony and maple necks..Was not a problem then and now, and does not affect the integrity of this wonderful bass..There are a few light marks on the upper edge (see photo) but overall in excellent condition...

I am selling because This beautiful unique bass needs played..I look at it,and admire it..but in reality I am not a fretless player!! This will make someone very happy I have no doubt..The medium scale makes it a breeze for playing..Oh yes and sounds amazing too!! Can courier..

In terms of build quality.This is comparable to my Sei Flamboyant bass,and that is saying a lot! Wonderful luthier skills in this beauty!!!

No trades please.. but open to offers (money) lol.You never know..👊😀

I couldn't agree more..thanks😎

I had a CB Ball bass and the luthiery was absolutely masterful. I have no doubt this will be the same. I already have a short scale fretless (Rob Allen Mouse) or this would be under serious consideration

[wright/watt]

Thanks Clarky😀

I was seriously interested in your bass too,when it was up for sale. It was also a stunner!! Cliff certainly builds beautifully crafted basses. Not to many CB basses this side of the pond alas.
