Title: 82 Distillate at MusicGoRound
Post by: fmm on January 02, 2008, 09:46:20 PM

I have no involvement with this bass.
 
Seen at the St. Paul MusicGoRound:
Serial # 82DFS2337.  The store called the mothership and this is apparently a factory second; the bookmatch was not up to standard.

Medium scale.
 
It looks like a Walnut top, maple accent lam & mahogany body, with purpleheart (or walnut or mahogany) neck laminates.
 
The bass is very clean with no obvious flaws, except that the original strap button has been broken off and a new one added.  There is an LED, but I don't know its purpose.  There are a couple of missing screws on the back access cover and one on the bridge, but (according to the store) replacements have been ordered.
 
Original HSC (which I did not see), $2500.  This bass was originally reported as a Signature.
 
I've attached some really dreadful pictures.

It is the same bass.  I heard that it was purchased & returned, something about the buyer prefering a 5 string.
