The bass player’s function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car… everything else is merely colours.

We've seen this one before - check out the shot of the headstock, the strings are the wrong length. The listing is funny too - scale length 30/34"? Also note that it is tuned EADGC, not sure if it started life that way. It is a cool looking bass though!

I guess I should add - my 5-string Stanley Clarke started life BEADG - I had it converted at the mothership to EADGC and had it that way for years. But a few of years ago I put it back to BEADG and it really came to life! I was kind of surprised, but pleasantly so. Mine is actually a standard with upgrades, so the normal standard neck recipe - maple with walnut pinstripes - not the maple with purpleheart laminates like this one - that's one feature of this one that I like. The top and back are great too.
