I've been on the lookout for a 5-string fretless Series II for awhile now. If anyone has any leads, please let me know. I'd like it to be standard 34" scale and with narrow string spacing. I'll even go as far as to purchase a fretted version, and have it defretted. Thanks!

If that falls in line with what you're thinking, let me know and I'll put you in touch. Peace, James eric_the_red New Username: eric_the_red Post Number: 8 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Tuesday, September 02, 2008 - 12:19 pm:    Hey James, Yeah, that does interest me. The price is higher than I had expected, but I'd love to be in touch with the owner. What do you know about the bass (wood, condition, etc.)? Thanks a lot, man. I've spied your bass several times on this site, drooling at the sight of your Series II 5 cocobolo beauty... You're one lucky guy! kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 726 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Tuesday, September 02, 2008 - 4:59 pm:    If James is talking about the bass I'm thinking of, the wood is Ziricote, the body is a unique 3/4 size heart omega style, and there is some very nice flame maple in the neck. malthumb Senior Member Username: malthumb Post Number: 441 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, September 05, 2008 - 6:43 pm:    Eric, Here's a picture of the bass. Note the price tag. I know it's negotiable. My apologies on the poor photo quality. Camera phone + sucky photographer = lame picture Peace, James kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 729 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Friday, September 05, 2008 - 8:46 pm:    Here's another: speicky Advanced Member Username: speicky Post Number: 326 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Saturday, September 06, 2008 - 12:25 am:    isn't that Bones' bass ?
