Not every day you see a fretless, 5 string, acoustic bass.
34" full scale, unlike the 4 string Aliens which are only 32", great to retain fretless muscle memory.
Great condition with some imperfections in the gloss finish from normal use. Truss rod cover was missing from before I got it. Light surface marks on the ebony fingerboard, no evidence of bridge rise or any structural issues as far as I can tell. Been strung with D'Addario flats tuned to ADGCF for the lower tension and less stress on the body. The B string has a significantly lower output from the piezo pickup, but on an acoustic it's more useful as a thumb rest anyway. Some minor cosmetic QC flaws such as excess glue spill on the neck joint as pictured, very common on these Rockbass instruments. Truss rod spins smoothly and is in fantastic shape, the neck is very easily made dead flat with no dead spots or warping that I could find. Fishman Volume/Tone controls recessed into the soundhole for easy access.
Shipping is higher than usual as this instrument is very large for a bass, and fedex has been absolutely screwing me recently in shipping costs.
Please message me with any questions and thanks for looking.
