2012 Dean USA Michael Schenker Flying V Bass NAMM Limited Edition, 1 of 25, Signed w/ Case

Up for sale, a 2012 Dean USA Michael Schenker V Bass NAMM Limited Edition in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. #1 of 25 in an exceedingly limited production run made for NAMM 2013 (manufactured in late 2012), this exceedingly rare bass is hand-signed by Schenker himself and features Schenker’s classic White-and-Black gloss finish, loaded with a pair of EMG-35DC humbuckers.

Weighing 9lbs, the all-mahogany body/neck construction is paired with a slab ebony fretboard, producing an acoustic platform with plenty of fundamental warmth and growl balanced by a clear treble attack. The EMG 35DC humbuckers feature ceramic magnet construction, producing punch and clarity that cuts through the mix, with a broad range of tones via the active preamp and Treble/Bass EQ. This Michael Schenker V Bass NAMM Limited Edition has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
