octave guitar - like a fender VI, baritone.,.
All parts custom made - strung like a guitar, but the low e is a bass low. So the first four strings are as a Bass, the B and high E - are heavy gauge guitar strings.
Everything above the twelth fret is guitar range etc.
loaded with rio grande HB, with a coil split on the tone knob. Ash tele style body with belly contour in the back. Oiled finish - sounds like the thunderous doom, or change the pickups and tone and it's all new order and the cure.,., has a really thick bass sound, you would never know it wasnt a "proper bass',
my fav things is playing chords up in the guitar range but with bass open strings..,.mama
comes with a hard case and a couple of sets of strings - in superb condition
900 to you folk

Hi, Kevin.

Could you stomach a $750 Buy It Now, through TradeMe?

By the way, did you sell your 75 Re-issue? If so, I hope you got a decent price. Sometimes wish I still had mine. Most natural feeling bass I have owned.

Cheers,
Paul.
