As my Spector hasn't sold yet so I'm putting up my Anaconda, which I bought used for a project earlier this year, which is now complete.

 

It is a stunning bass in fine condition. Also one of the most diverse and best sounding electrical systems I've some across. It sounds amazing both active and passive.

From the serial number it looks a 2021 instrument.

There is some light scratching on the back and pickguard from normal use and a small ding on the back. Otherwise it's like new.

The neck is fabulous with wide string spacing. I'll put a set of rounds on it for the lucky new owner!

I can post at cost but collection and trial welcome!

 

Ultra J Essence Bass is one of the most popular brands at the moment, having won an award from the prestigious Bass Media (Bass Guitar Magazine).

I have one of these in Pearl White - I can attest that it's a fantastic bass. The standard of build and finish far exceeds its price point, and the tonal versatility and punch are exceptional. Whoever buys this will not be disappointed! GLWTS.

Hi just updated the specs and weight above. Lots of great reviews out there (couldn't find a bad one). Here is an overview of a similar bass of a similar age:
