5-string fretless bass for sale
Warmoth build, circa 2012. Barely played, never gigged.
Bloodwood fretboard with black lines. Wenge neck with 5-piece bubinga laminates. Gotoh tuners, black. Black Korina body, finished with Danish oil. One EMG 40DC pickup, located in Music Man "sweet spot." Hipshot B Bridge.
An aggressive bass, very hot pickup, really pretty. Took a chance with the build, but just didn't ever find the interest in fretless. Selling this and my Carvin LB76 to finance a fretted Warmoth build. Great basses, fast necks, very comfortable. Fretless just ain't for me.
Paid roughly $1200 for the build, selling for $650. There hasn't been a deal like this since Robstafarian virtually gave away his railboard.
Lemme know.

Re: 5-string fretless bass for sale
This bass can be fretted. You should ask to a good luthier. And you'll save money.

Got GAS, going back to 6-string bass to replace my Carvin. Need to sell. Thanks for looking in.

Re: 5-string fretless bass for sale
Looks pretty sweet, but I'm pretty limited in my budget of 1200 to 1500 clams. I am also very drawn to wenge, which has become a virtual fetish over the past year. The build will be a korina body, with wenge top, wenge neck with a bocote fretboard. I am unswerving in my need for this. Just sayin'. K

That CGi 6 Coca Bola is some sweet, purty stuff, though (at $3500 USD!).
