In all the blackness, you can't see that there's the extra standby switch you requested, as well as the LED on/off switch.

basses i've ever played,but just to heavy
for me playing a few hours live. Item is located
in AUSTRIA-EUROPE.
If you're interested,please mail me at
m.loacker@gmx.at (mailto:m.loacker@gmx.at)

Thank you,
Markus

Post by: jazzyvee on September 10, 2009, 04:39:03 AM: I wish I had the cash to take it off your hands. But the only bass I could just about sacrifice for that is my Elan 4.

just wanna say she\s still for sale
Title: Build Record / Discussion
Post by: briant on October 03, 2009, 06:10:51 PM: That thing is bad. And I mean that in a Run/DMC sort of way: Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good.

If I played it I would bet that I would leave your house with it. Good thing for my checking account that you're on the other side of the big pond. I hope you find a buyer who is going to appreciate it!

Title: Build Record / Discussion
Post by: jazzyvee on September 01, 2011, 03:45:05 PM: Yeah you will love it when it arrives. I just love the sound of it. My only minor issue with it is my fingers have become used to the standard string spacing on my other basses, so playing this one takes a bit of time to adjust to the narrower neck and string spacing especially when i had to slap and pop.
