Title: Essence 5 String for Sale-Walnut top
Post by: ajish4 on February 02, 2006, 08:11:55 AM

Hello all,  I hate to do this but I just have no other choice.   Many of you will remember this sweet ESSENCE 5 string that my wife purchased for me last Father's Day.   I thought I'd give you fellows here in the forum first crack at it being you were all such a huge help to my wife. I wanted to give you guys first shot before it ends up on E-bay.  This is the bass with those "finger nail" marks. I believe Dr.J here on the forum owned this bass.   With the exception of the minor clear coat finish flaws, the bass is STUNNING.  My hands are JUST TOO SMALL and I can't play comfortably past the 12th fret! It just sits here in my home, unplayed.  I really don't want to part with it, but the Mrs. says "if you aren't able to play it, give someone else a chance with it". It really is a STUNNING bass both in appearance & in performance!  I will be looking to replace it with an ESSENCE 4 string one day soon. Until then, I still have my EPIC.   For price and some highly detailed photo's, please e-mail me.
