Up for sale is an amazing MG Bass MG-Fretless 5 String Electric Bass, handmade in Manchester, New Hampshire. I am the original owner. The bass sounds amazing with the Bartolini pick-ups. It is VERY easy to play. It is a little shorter than a standard jazz bass (for size context). Weighs in just under 8 pounds. The extended fretboard allows for so many tonal possibilities! MG is known for amazing craftmanship and woodwork. This bass follows in that tradition. I tried to get it in the sun so you can see the incredible woods used. It is a stunning bass and equally amazing to play. The bass is in perfect condition. Rarely played and never left the studio. Enjoy!
