Yesterday, actually. Sold my mandolin to fund this. My first step into the world of boutique instruments, and my first bass with a preamp. Built in 2010 by John Meyers, book matched Koa top, swamp ash body, maple neck, rosewood board, Delano MM humbucker, John East preamp, switch for front coil, series, rear coil.
Got it for about 1/3 of the price had I ordered it from him, and the Delano and preamp were upgrades done by a previous owner.
I’ll post some better pics if it’s nice out tomorrow. Has a nitro finish, and I spent today stripping the neck, the did tung oil and beeswax.
