I have this priced to move at $1395 including SKB gig bag (we'll be quoting $1695 at the booth, but anybody from LeftyBassist can snag it for the discounted price by mentioning this post) It's a one of a kind unit ...
this left bass is SOLD and will be heading to it's new home at the end of the weekend. congrats to XxXxxXxx on grabbing this bass before it escaped into the wild :)

all the best,

PICS! First you're making us hungry, then you're telling us it's already gone, but still nobody has seen the bloody thing :P

I have some pics of it in my NAMM postings. Here's the link to the photobucket page. Happy digging, I think it's somewhere in the middle of the 320 pics.

Hi Jeroen

I not only saw the thing, I got to play it! I happened to be in Seattle on a business related trip. Really well made bass. I don't care for Stringrays tonally or how Musicman makes them (they are great instruments, just not for me), but Rod's was really good. I really liked the touch he had on the 2 band preamp with a somewhat Vintage voicing.
IIRC, he had a slightly different neck finish as well that I liked quite a bit.
