Hello there! I'm selling one of the best basses I've played since 1976 and I've played them all. I bought this new in 2012. This is now passive with Nordstrand Big Singles and Tone Styler Bass Duo6. I found active EMG-system kind of too polite but now it's like jazz bass on steroids! And what a joy it is to play. Like one reviewer said: "fastest neck we've ever played".
Mahogany with maple top. Ebony frettop, Badass II bridge, Schallers with Hipshot D-tuner. Weight around 3.9-4.0 kg.

There are no original electronics left. EMG's are easy to find and they cost less than Nordstrands and ToneStyler. I paid 550€ for the modification incl. work.
This is from the first production series and really a rarity. Serial # 20. Original Schallers and Hiscox case.
Trade is possible. I'm just hoping to raise some money for something else.
Price is negotiable in straight purchase.
Questions welcome.
