To be clear, this Bass unfortunately needs some work. There are a few issues that require quite a lot of work. For this reason it is being sold as-is either for someone willing to pay to have the work done or capable of doing it themselves. All sales are final.
Harry Fleishman was truly a visionary who pushed many boundaries when it came to crafting instruments. He was a teacher for aspiring luthiers and really saw outside the box when it came to approaching the traditional designs associated with guitar. He built a number of innovative / unique acoustic and electrics on his own and worked in the background designing instruments for various companies over the years. This included Avian acoustics, the Hondo Flash guitar / bass, Breedlove, and Fender / Jackson’s anti-gravity bass. These one-off examples are extremely rare and difficult to dig up information on.
Issues of note - condition: "Fair".
- Neck is quite bowed when tuned to standard pitch (B to G). When down tuned the bow isn't as bad. The truss rod is fully maxed out (oddly is adjusted with a flat head).
- Truss rod cover is missing.
- Electronics don't seem to be functioning entirely properly. This Bass has a 18 volt system. It looks like some battery's leaked in the cavity at some point in time.
- Missing the Kahler vibrato arm
- Both pickup rings are cracked.
- Cosmetically it is in "Good" condition. There are dings, marks, scratches, etc...
