SHIPPING OVERAGE WILL BE REFUNDED With proof of cost provided. Because it’s getting cold, this bass will have to be shipped expedited. If you insist on cheap ground shipping, this sale will become an as-is sale and any issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We HIGHLY recommend expedited with full insurance. The box is going to be big and the insurance rider ain't cheap.

Pull up a coffee, your gonna like this read. We have this bass in from and industry friend on consignment. This bass is stamped CUSTOM, the documents state CUSTOM – this is a 1 of 1 – end of story, there are no comps. For the person who is that 'expert' who reached out to us saying this was a production run, nope, it's not. The docs state custom. This was custom ordered at Mandolin Brothers direct with Stan and the Martin rep.
Cost a fortune when ordered in 1992 for a 1993 delivery. This is not the run of the mill bass. So how does this bass get ordered – You’re in the music business and you have Stan Jay of Mandolin Brothers make some calls. This bass has all the good woods including a Sitka top, world class appointments including a factory saddle transducer. Has the original hard shell case and ALL the paperwork including the CUSTOM ORDER paperwork.
So what is this thing – Its an electric acoustic 5 string cutaway bass. If we had to put a model on it, I’d call it a D42C – 5 string Bass. The bass looks, sounds and plays spectacular. She’s in near perfect shape. I’ve never seen anything this nice or this exclusive. Thousands less than when sold by us prior. This is a 1 family owned bass.
