This bass is for sale. I will update with the official specs soon, but here's the basic idea: 1992 4-string fretted Essence - 92 K 7248 Flame maple top w/awesome blue finish 34" scale 3-piece maple neck And some pics: The marks on the top of the headstock are into the wood and are pretty ugly, but luckily are not too visible from the front of the instrument. Also, there appears to be something loose in the wiring as the sound will cut out when the pan control is turned fully clockwise. Otherwise all is functional, and sounds fantastic. Some other eBay-savvy club members surely recognize it and know what it cost me, and that's all I plan to get for it. $815 plus actual shipping costs brings this bass to your door. Email me with any questions or offers at adaml84@nycap.rr.com.

If the solder side of the board contacts the conductive shielding paint, it will short out. I bet if you tighten the nut with the board clear of the side, you'll be in great shape. kungfusheriff Intermediate Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 187 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Monday, November 01, 2004 - 9:31 pm:    Sooo tempting...but why not the Distillate? Hee hee. How much does she weigh? Maple or mahogany body?
