First of.... all my English is not perfect....I speak normaly french....
Here is a F bass as new no dings or dongs or scratch it is a special order who was made true George Furnaletto himself ( Georges signature is on the back of the head and also the date) it is a five strings E A D G C short scale, but it is possible to change the strings in BEADG.
Weight on my balance it is show a little bit more than 3,5 kg. It is a set neck the space beteween the strings is 16 mm
Verry nice bass and easy to play a lot of sound in actif or passif . Original case also new
price is 2800 euros ex Brussels
Thanks for your interrest......

Thanks Molan!

[quote name='jmanfunk' post='574921' date='Aug 20 2009, 12:36 AM']I've dealt with Dirk before and he is a gent to say the least so you can be sure to buy with confidence. Although for that kind of money I would fly to Belgium and hire a small security team to escort [i]it[/i] and [b]me[/b] back home!

That bass is simply exquisite


Good luck with the sale Dirk.
