LADO STUDIO 606 CUSTOM 6 string

MOONDOGGY · Post by **MOONDOGGY** » Friday May 01, 2009

Uncle Sam has been good to me through my layoff, but not good enough to justify me keeping this bass. I have this bass for sale elsewhere, but I thought I'd give it a shot here on RP.

This is an amazing 1995 (so I was told) Lado Studio 606 Custom from the one and only Joe Kovacic.

Specs:

- Ser # CDN-STUDIO-606W-229
- 34" scale 5-piece NT (Flamed Maple/Purpleheart/Wenge/PH/FM)
- Purpleheart stringers btn neck and body wings
- Flamed Walnut top over Flamed Maple core w/ Purpleheart back
- Black hardware w/ 17mm spacing at bridge
- 3 1/4" at 24th fret, 2 3/8" at the graphite nut
- Gaboon Ebony board w/ great frets
- Bartolini humbuckers w/ Bart TCT 3-band preamp (and extra 'black box')
- HSC with beat up tolex (no cracks or structural breaks)
- Bathroom scale weight is 11-12lbs. (This thing is ALL heavy hardwoods!!)
- This one has a tung oil finish unlike the gloss clear coat on the 5 string I have for sale.

The condition is great. It has a dimple in the headstock above the 'L'. There is thumb wear between the pickups and wear around the master vol knob. The rest of the bass is pretty darn good, but the oil finish is a bit dirty.

This is a classy, VERY well constructed bass with a very comfortable flat neck and great tone.

My price is $1300 $1200.

BUMP for the final price drop- $1200

Also, forgot to mention, these Lados are strung with new sets of D'Addarios (less than 1 hour on each).

Anybody want to spoil their self before the holidays?

I'm now entertaining trades on these Lados. The idea behind this is that maybe I can trade these for a bass(es) that is easier to sell! So, if you have a more well-known, name-brand, mainstream bass that you're willing to trade at less than eBay/street prices, send the offer my way.

Also looking for a Nintendo Wii with accessories/games. If you have one, we can work that into the deal!
