I am really surprised nobody in the Club got this one. Maybe it'll be relisted.

Some rash on the bottom and by the tailpiece, otherwise looks good.

Nice job, Mike. I knew someone would snag it ... he actually lowered the starting bid after a while. Really happy a Club member got it!

Offering this bass back up for sale. I can't get used to the 32 inch scale and narrow string spacing. Selling it for just what I paid for it-$1286.00 for money order or cashier's check or $1325.00 if you want to use PayPal. Thanks. Sorry, US only.
Mike

Mike, that's exactly why I sold my Distillate. the upper frets were almost unusable for me.

But just right for guys like me with small fingers.  I have become very accustomed to my short and medium scale basses, so much that my Fender Jazz, or any 34 is a real stretch.
 
Good luck with your sale.

The bass went pretty quick. I was between keeping this bass or my 5 string Excel and the Excel won out. To me, it is the perfect 5-string bass!
Actually, I traded it for a Mike Lull PJ4 (Don't tell Hal!)
