Title: Interesting Essence? on Craigslist
Post by: lbpesq on December 18, 2006, 06:56:51 AM

Here's a cool different looking bass.  The k in the serial number means it's an Essence, I believe, but this isn't the usual Essence body style.

Nor does it have the usual electronics. The Essence is usually just the volume, pan, filter and optional Q-switch.

Looks more like Epic / Orion controls.

The seller is a forum member, and these was a thread about this bass a few months ago IIRC.

The seller apparently lives in my neighborhood, so if anyone would like some assistance in getting this checked out, all you gotta do is ask.
