I love this bass but really need to clear some things out. So, I am letting this one go.
Rare zirocote top ($1500 upgrade) on a mahogany body in Mint condition. There is also a maple accent stripe and purpleheart layer sandwiched between the top and body wings. 7 piece maple and purpleheart neck ($600 upgrade) with ebony fretboard. Another of the many additional upgrades are the Red side LED markers ($1200 upgrade). Pickups are Alembic MXY56 and Europa electronics.
The thing is truly a work of art... $4000 shipped

I also forgot to add to the original post. The bass is 35 scale with the wide neck option.
What a Beauty
Thanks for the compliment. It is definitely a work of art!
Did I see this on Talkbass?
And, if so, I seem to recall it's now sold?
I believe this one is headed to Australia, that lucky damn dog! I got to play this when it was for sale at The Low End and it was tagged around 5K or so. This thing is mint though basically getting a new bass for a used price. Oh yes, this thing plays and sounds better than it looks!
absolutely fantastic Bass!
Yes, it is actually in Australia now...Evilgus received it this week. And, he is quite pleased.
Yes, it is actually the same one that was at The Low End. I purchased it from the person who originally had it consigned there. Probably the most beautiful bass I have ever owned (I have owned many). It was just not getting a lot of use.
