A splendid all round bass. I've used it for rehearsals, not gigged with it. In as new condition, I would say, one little headstock cymbal nick. Owned maybe 2 years? Selling because I've gone semi hollow (musically and intellectually)

 

The quality of the parts adds up to the perfect bitsa, in my opinion:

 

Hipshot Ultralight tuners

Roasted maple neck

Nordstrand pickups

Babicz full contact bridge

Markbass preamp

Spokewheel truss rod access

 

Really lightweight, but not lacking in low end at all.

The preamp gives you the best of vintage and modern; vvt,passive, with 2 single coils (Jazz territory), then 3 band active, with humbucking single coils. And the 3 band is voiced really well, useable at all 'extremes'.

 

The neck pickup in passive has great weight and heft. Sounds old and worn in from the get go (in a good way). I'm convinced the roasted neck is a big factor in this...

I don't use the bridge pickup on it's own, although it does it's job well. I just prefer the fatter sound. The 2 pickups together sounds great.

 

The bass does live inside, honestly...

 

Very happy to fill in any gaps in information. Thanks for reading.

 

The weight is 7lb 9oz, if my scales are to be trusted (it feels lighter than that)

Uncannily, I saw this video a few days ago talking about how incredible these basses and how good they sound. This is an absolute bargain price for one. If I didn't already have irons in the fire on a few basses....
