For sale is a customized 1990s Palaedium bass designed by Jeff Berlin and completely refurbished and refinished by master luthier Andrew Drake.
master luthier Andrew Drake. The bass was refinished in a fantastic matte black finish, which while hard to
photograph, looks great in person. The neck had been made fretless, so it was
cleaned up and refretted using mandolin fretwire, which makes such an easy to
play bass SO much easier. The hardware was replaced with high-quality black components: Kluson hi-mass bridge,
Gotoh/Jackson tuners, Hipshot D-Tuner, black knobs, output jack & plate,
Dunlop strap buttons, and a great custom ramp between the pickups. We also added Luminlay side dots that look like regular dots in the light and
shine in the darkness. The bass plays great with low action and amazing tone from the passive
Bartolini-spec pickups.

These are getting harder and harder to find, and you’ll never find another that looks and plays like this one. The neck is extremely comfortable and allows for nice low action.
