Hey Guys,

I've found a great bass for sale in Germany, it's a Mark King 5 string model but I want some more information about it.

I've added a pic of the bass, my questions are:
1. What is the pick up nearest to the bridge? Is this the humcancelling one? Shoudnt that be between the other 2 humbuckers?
2. What kind of electronics does this one hold?
3. What would be a fair value for this bass?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Christian

It must be the same one posted very recently on this thread, where a couple of details were discussed.

So the "pick-up" nearest the bridge is something to fill up the space left by the bridge-block, when the bridge was moved back about 2 inches, to make a long-scale out of a medium-scale bass. There's a link to a short YouTube demo by user Eugen.

Quite interesting is that Eugene (Stefan) is now selling it already! I think ima skip this one

Thanks Adriaan for the info!
