MK5 on the Verb. Beautiful Buckeye burl.

The fact that it was kept in a home studio with no cats is impressive.

i own the brother/cousin/same-model-but-a-different-cut-of-buckeye-burl to this bass and i have to say that these are truly remarkable instruments. every time i pick it up i can see the cumulative result of many decades of craftsmanship that goes into the design and build of these basses. i own almbic basses that were built in each decade since the 70's and while each one has its own sonic and aesthetic merits, the 2018 MK is hands down the most comfortable to play and has the most refined sound of any of it's stable-mates.
not too-terribly-unreasonable asking price on this one. be interesting to see how long it's on the market.

Gorgeous.

Now on Facebook for $9k plus shipping and fees.

if it's legit, $9k for that bass is a smokin deal. imho, ymmv, etc. & so forth
