I cannot, simply cannot, believe that it's still for sale. it is absolutely an amazing instrument that plays like no other. I offered Mica a trade for my '81 series 1.5, but she wouldn't bite.

That combination of woods immediately struck me as special. Plenty of fundamental, but not too much, consistent overtones and gobs of sustain.

One of the most beautiful Basses I've ever seen. I wish I lived close enough to be able to see it in real life. Wow!!! As for why it still hasn't sold....well, I'll leave that to the obvious (although in my opinion, worth every penny). 811952 Senior Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 2050 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Sunday, October 30, 2011 - 3:30 pm:    I think I'd trade my old Series for it, even though it's only got the one filter. It sure makes me miss owning a fretless..

Wonderful bass. jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 3044 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, November 01, 2011 - 2:32 am:    That's stunning. If I didn't already have a fretless rogue 5 this would be high on my list of wants. graeme
