NOTICE GLOBAL

I played this bass for 3 years, and supply me alot of fun and alot of curiosity on the part of other musicians: it does not go unnoticed!
I liked particulirement the playability of the neck and the sound of piezos that confrent it its own identity in the registry and jazz funk.
It is a model very rare today, it is not easy to find, but that does not normment coast because it is not a model that has had success clearly. Having bought myself a musician 1000.00 Similarly there 4 years, you may feel that sold above the 700.00 / 800.00, the seller is not very honest with you, especially as the catalog data currently available in this price range. Importantly, this bass is normally sold with flight case that is custom made.
