Hello, Anyone interested in a trade?
Im looking to move my custom Emerald Guitars "Flow" bass. Emerald is a high end guitar builder located in ireland they make incredible acoustic instruments. This bass is a solid body one piece graphite bass with a beautiful walnut burl top.
Specs:-
around 7lbs
-34 inch scale
-EMG X pickups and EMG BQC electronics
-Babicz Solo Rail bridge saddles
-Graphtech nut
-Very new set of GHS pressure wounds on her that sound awesome
-The spacing is on the narrow side maybe 17mm (see pic Im not sure how to tell)
-Will ship in original Emerald gigbag
*Let me mention this has a "reverse" trussrod, so standing over the headstock in back of bass looking down, it would be clockwise to increase back bow (lower string action)shipping in conus only.Some of these pics are from Emeralds photoshoot, I also included some of my own pics so you can see the difference, the top is darker in person but still AMAZING. Anyway ... thinking $2200

Also, I am looking to move my Ric 4000, it’s a 74 in fantastic shape. It has some swirls on the back, I took pickup cover off and had a bezel installed and I had the bridge changed for a hipshot replacement (the original bridge had a bit of tail lift), I also swapped the old strap buttons for strap locks, the original parts will be included. The bass sounds amazing, It will ship in the OHSC. Thinking $1800



Would love to do a 2 for 1 if anyone has something in the 4k range. Ideally I would love a custom Excel but am open to others models. Would also trade or sell individually.
Thanks for looking


Tom

Love that Emerald.... I have one of the acoustic carbon fiber basses, with a piezo and K&K mic setup inside.  Their wood tops are nearly as nice as Alembic.
