My Name Is 905: Hartke Aluminum neck XK-4 hot-rodded with EMGs (Vaccaro clone!)

The final evolution of the Aluminum necked bass guitar!
Travis Bean --> Kramer --> Vaccaro --> Hartke.

This is essentially a Vaccaro X-ray with a different headstock. These originally came with a noisy preamp and some inexpensive Korean pickups. I carefully removed those and replaced them with a set of EMG Actives. Controls are V-V-T. The bass has also been upgraded with matte chrome Schaller straplock buttons. (Straplocks and strap not included.)

Most people string these with roundwounds, but I already had a couple near-identical basses with rounds (Hartke XL4 prototype and a Vaccaro XRay) so I decided to string this up with flatwounds. But not just any flats; I chose the Rotosound SH-77 Steve Harris set, for maximum thunder. This bass takes them to a whole new level! :)

I don't have an exact date, but I believe this bass was probably made circa 2000-2001. Excellent condition overall: no dents or chips, just swirls and light scratches. Fret wear is mild and even, at least 80-90% left, with no detrimental effects on playability.

Unlike Travis Beans and Kramers, these basses have a fully adjustable truss-rod. Truss rod works perfectly. A 1/4" hex key is required. (not included, though)

Excellent brand-new gig bag is included.
