Offered for sale:

Used 1999 Hartke XK-5 bass guitar serial number 910687.

This 5-string bass is in excellent condition showing limited playing time.

Designed to Larry Hartke's specifications the XK-5 represents an accessibly priced 5-string option for professional bassists. This precision instrument features a Poplar body coupled to a Vaccaro double T-Bar aluminum component neck system with a rock maple neck shell that provides a familiar feel and easy playability. This unique neck system consists of a lightweight aluminum aircraft extrusion welded to an aluminum triple-plated chrome headstock. It not only ensures maximum resistance to atmospheric conditions and string tension; it provides exceptionally long sustain and tuning stability over the long run. A Rosewood fretboard with ultra-fast action neck finish and Nickel-Silver frets further enhance playability while the XK-5's Zero-fret design provides flawless open string response. To best capture its extraordinary sustain, tone and presence, the XK-5 is equipped with high performance passive pickups and active electronics. Other features include dual volume controls; concentric bass/treble tone controls; a chrome bridge and tuning machines and a brushed aluminum finish pickguard.

This is a really interesting bass, sustain is great as is the tone, it’s been stated that only 100 XK-5’s were ever made!

Case not included. Cases and gig bags available separately.

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
