The bass is great, but the tone of the fatboy isn't fitting in with what I need for my current project. I am looking at another instrument that would fit what I am doing better, and might need to move this one to create funds to make the acquisition. I'd be looking for $1600 plus shipping for the bass. I'll put up a pic or two when I get a chance, just trying to find out if anyone is looking for something like this so I can figure out what I can afford to offer on the other. This is more than I paid for the bass, but less than what I believe the value to be. If someone is interested in this one, I think we both win. The bass came to me in a non-Alembic hard case, and I will send it along the same way.
