[color=#000000][size=3][b]Quilt/Amber-Black-Burst Xotic SB-2/5[/b] [/size][/color]
[color=#000000][size=3]Early & original (rare) model Xotic XB-2C 5-string bass: [b]34"-scale[/b], 24-fret, 3-pc. Maple/kingwood neck with brass nut - Nut 1.75”/string spacing 9/18mm (nut/bridge) - 2 Kent Armstrong soapbar pickups with custom Xotic active preamp. Controls: Master Volume, Blend, Master Tone, and 3-band EQ - Hipshot tuners and Kahler fully-adjustable bridge - Built-in Dunlop style strap-locks. The XB-2C or "custom" features an exotic wood top and back Only the top on the new models, I think), and ebony fingerboard with aluminium rings inlays. This bass features an exceptional Quilt mapletop/back with amber-black/burst finish and an ash core. It has a very wide range of available tones and a very powerful sound. The "B" string is very tight and focused. It's certainly one of the best fretted 5's I've tried - both my instruments have exceptional tones (slightly different / woods) and playability. The only other 34"/5 with this quality of sound & playability (I've found) are Marleaux. Neck Radius = 16R . Nut = Brass . Pickup = Kent Armstrong . EQ = Xotic Bass Preamp (18V) . Tuner = Hip Shot Ultra light . Bridge = Kahler Fixed 5-st /Black . Control = 1-Vol, 1- Master Tone, 1- Balancer (Pan), 3-band EQ + (Rear) 4-mid frequency Switch, Output Gain Control . [Switch] = Vol (push: series, pull: parallel for front pickup) Tone(push: series, pull: parallel for rear pickup). Strap Button = Jim Dunlop X 2 . c. 10-lbs.
This bass comes with it's original hard-shell case and keys. This being one of the original Xotic company basses - Volume and Blend knobs are push-pull coil tap for neck / bridge pickup(s). A small amount of the "Kent Armstrong" lettering has rubbed off of the bridge pickup. Xotic instruments now available from BassDirect. [/size][/color]

WoW..Xotic's rather tasty..Can't find an SB2 - is it an XB2?
[/quote]
Yes, my error - current model is the XB. Not sure if it was previously SB. When I first saw them they were TB (early neck through or set-neck version/s):-

Kind regard

Thanks/replied. Payment pending on the 55-94 (from EU so will take longer). For Alph / others interested, I'll PM if anything changes.
For those who expressed a serious interest in the Xotic XB/2-5 you'll need to let me know quickly as I'll be removing from sale once the 5594 is fully concluded.
