This beautiful bass I ordered this year from Mike has to go since I have found the "holy grail".

Here are the standard specs:

-5 strings
-35" scale
-maple neck and fingerboard with a very nice satin finish
-Hipshot bridge and tuners
-Seymour Duncan pick-ups
-Bartolini NTMT pre-amp( bass,treble and switchable mids) active/passive
-HSC
-15% charges for lefty

Here are my options:

-African mahogany body
-2 tones sunburst
-parchemin pick-guard
-passive tone control
-humcancelling pickups

A thumb rest professionally installed between the 2 pick-ups for the sweet spot attack.

For this kind of instrument there is a delay of 3-4 months (4 months in my case).

I've used the bass on couple of shows and it was a pleasure to play. It is just like new, so here is your chance to own such an instrument right now ;-)

I'm asking $2500 and open to offers but not so much on trades,

For more pics send me your email address,

Sly
