I bought this brand new right after Guitar Center and Musician's Friend merged which I think was 2000. It is the very sexy Nathan East body style (now discontinued). 24 Fret Rosewood 12" radius fretboard on a maple neck. The passive Yamaha soapbar pick-ups strike my ears as EMG clones. Very nice modern sound, and pretty 'Rickenbackerish' when played with a pick. A heavily chromed high mass bridge. Basswood body is soft and there is one small ding on the back (not shown in photos). This bass plays very well, and has a nice feel. I have the owner's manual; unused original instrument cable, and also the original allen wrenches for the truss rod & bridge. I am throwing in a very nice deluxe gigbag and a wide padded strap. $300.00 OBO + shipping. I'm just not a 5 string guy, or I would keep it.
