Hi guys!

I'm putting this bass up for private auction (photos below).

If you like all things vintage, classy, boutique, and edgy, this is the bass for you. Armed with a fast maple neck, this bass produces a bright, punchy tone with a good amount of body and more midrange growl that makes any ASMR video sound like nails on blackboard.

Blending the craftsmanship and history of a 70s bass with iconic (and super rare!) Alembic Jazz pickups, this bass cuts through just about any mix. Who says the bass is meant to only be in the background?

Perfect for Funk, Punk, Jazz, Fusion, Rock, Pop, and everything in between, at a starting bid of only $2,200, this will probably be your best buy in decades to come. That is, IF you win the bid!

  • 4 strings
  • Active
  • Maple neck / board, extremely fast
  • Serial S864483 on headstock front, which, according to this article in Reverb, was made in America in 1978.
  • Body might be alder, but not sure. Has a slot for the 9V battery.
  • Super rare Alembic Pickups
  • Has a detuner that drops the E strings to a D
  • 'Badass' Bridge
  • Very well set up
  • Bright and punchy

(Please note the pickguard has been removed since the photos were taken.)

Whatsapp me (Shawn) at nine 1 five double-9 double-6 4 with your offer (minimum bid $2,200; 'Buy Now' @$3,500).
Highest bid before 1 Nov 2019 wins.

Thanks so much and all the best guys!

Poor sound quality, here are some examples of how versatile it is.


Slap tone

Palm-muted, 'wooly' sound
