Hi folks,

 

This is a brilliant and incredibly rare bass but time to thin the herd and this one is the next one out, main reason being the neck is so slim it feels weird after playing upright bass so it gets played the least. But it does look amazing and so hangs on the wall begging to be played...

 

Usual Tobias gorgeousness with through-neck maple/purpleheart and solid zebrawood wings.

The body is matt and I suspect waxed rather than satin varnished.

Not sure what the fingerboard is but I'd say pao ferro at a guess.

Standard Bartolini humbuckers and three band preamp.

Superfast slim neck and wicked deep sounds finger style or slap, makes me chuckle every time I pick it up.

Nice low action and no issues with neck or frets.

Don't have the exact weight to hand but would guess around 4.2kg.

Condition is great only points to note a small scar inside the lower cutaway (see pic) which could probably be wax-filled but it never bothered me to try; and a little scuffing/discolouration below the G-string from finger popping, have to look closely to see it (see pic).

 

I don't have a case for this one but can figure out a safe way to package and ship if needed.

 

Visits to come try are welcome!
