Cosme Moji HSC 6 (Headless Single Cut) delivered to its first owner (I'm the second one) in December 2010!!!

A really rare instrument on the second hand market as Patrick Cosme, an excellent French luthier, completely stopped his activities 2 years ago.

This is a top notch instrument built with high quality components and an extraordinary attention to details (see the photos).

It's in excellent condition with a few light dings that I've tried to photograph (see below).

This bass had a real price tag of €3870 EUR 14 years ago, so between €5500 and €6000 EUR nowadays, not on the cheap side at all.

I changed the original East U-Retro Deluxe 5 preamp for a better suited for this bass Delano Sonar 3 bands with active/passive switch on the volume and a clever treble pot, which becomes a passive tone when in this mode ; I also put some wooden knobs with real tiger eye stone on their top.

The neck pickup is exactly at the Stingray sweet spot and has the same specs as a Music Man pickup that would have been designed for a 6 strings bass, hence the choice of this Delano Sonar preamp, which works perfectly with this type of pickup.

The strings fitted now are the amazing Dogal Hellborg Perfect Pitch Flat Wound JH1726S (226 EUR for the set!!!).

Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use.

I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale.

Don't hesitate to ask for more, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!
