(Please note that this bass is up for sale elsewhere on line. Therefore, priority will be given on a first come, first buy basis. If you paid for this bass, and it already sold before I can end this posting, rest assured that you will be refunded promptly).

Rare, 1990's APB 100 5 string bass. Excellent craftsmanship,  Pre- GRAVITY series Although used, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it and it is in very clean condition for its age, very gently, well cared for by myself.

Condition: Very few and hardly noticeable small mild dings on the finish on the front & back of the body. The back of the neck is super smooth satin, with only 3 very minor dings on a few areas near the neck's "bass" edge side, by the side dots. The headstock has a thin, small mild scrape scuff, on the flat treble side edge of the peg head- just above where the "D" string tuner button is located. The fingerboard is in excellent condition, with just lite mild scuffing caused by string friction against the board's grain, which is typical and hardly noticeable.

Sounds: GREAT, solidly built 5 string bass, with nice a "mwah"& growl, plus a tight B string. Producing from Precision to Jazz like tones (deep to bright) Featuring: recently upgraded EMG active "J" Pickups + EMG  BTS 2 Band EQ "Plug n Play" components installed (no connecting soldering required-no needed alterations - a $250.00 bonus value). It originally sold in stores for $1400.00 (street price-not retail).  It straps comfortably balanced on the shoulder, with a fast playing neck.
