Just was taken on trade at my local store. Plays and sounds killer. Very light weight. 36" scale I believe. That's all I know. I hope this is ok to post and not against TB rules. Store is Parkway Music in Clifton Park, NY. If this is in violation, please remove mr mod
 
sh it, if that was a little cheaper I might own it . . . damn I hate having a real job. it was nice when these were completely out of my price range. how does it sound? more importantly, how does it play compared to other basses?
 
I took it for a spin last week. Plays great and is super light weight! The craftsmanship is stellar as is to be expected, but the tone wasn't for me(luckily, as I just sold a Fodera). Someone will be very, very happy with it though, likely sooner than later. Also- parkway is the best shop around. Got my first bass there 19 years ago, and still make a point to stop there whenever I can.
 
Played that one a few weeks ago. It is wonderfully light...crazy light. It plays beautifully, but it's very darkly voiced. Not really my cup of tea despite being a gorgeous instrument. I ended up buying the used Alembic they had there instead. :)
