I’ve never seen one but through quick research it’s a small SoCal company. There’s a guy trying to trade with me and he’s setting the value at about $500.
Has anyone tried this before. appreciate any help on this.
Thanks.

Thanks guys, we’ll find out soon. I made the trade he’ll be over in an hour. I hope it’s build well. From what I saw on review it’s either great or crap, let’s hope this is a good one.

How did it go?

Better than I expected. It’s a 35” scale 2 octave neck through bass, rolled finger board belly carved and concave back about 9.5lbs. A little slop on the tuners but overall a great bass. The electronics is pretty interesting push/pull active/passive, blend and 3 band eq. The mid sweep seems to have a pretty wide band which could come in handy. The B string really sing.
This bass has Fishman Fluence written all over it, so I ordered a set last night. Which means I’m gonna miss a chance of finding out where the buzz comes from when it’s active, lol.
Here’s what I don’t like,
black on black, matte/satin body and neck, I know MKBHD, would have been all over this bass but not for me. I’d love to put the gold string on this but I don’t know if I need anymore brightness with the Fluence pickups plus I’m not sure if I want to drop $130 for strings and not to mention gold hardware, lol.
Next is the strap button, is broken at the bottom, well that’s my fault actually, lol. No I gotta drill it out.

I did an all black bass once, very monochromatic. Once was all I needed.
Nice find, looks like a nice bass…
