Unfortunately I have to let this wonderful bass go:
1996 Essence 5
Quilted maple top
purplehear accent
mahogany body
ebony fingerboard
gold tuners @ brass hardware
no inlays
Volume, pan, tone, and LED on-off controls with the q-switch upgrade
Red side LEDs
Neck width at nut 1.94
Overall cosmetic condition 9, in perfect working order.
A fitted Canvas case with zippered pockets is included.
I have the wood card for you, but not straplocks or tool kit.
Price $2000 firm if paid by cash or check, $2100 firm if paid by PayPal, MC, or Visa.
Local pickup will be OK with a cash payment - I live in the Jupiter FL area. To ship I will take the bass to UPS and have them box it up with styrofoam - and you'll pay for that separately, whatever the amount is that they charge me.
Right now I'm too busy to take photos; but I'll post these when I get a chance.
