For your supreme viewing delight is this gorgeous Taylor AB-2 fretless acoustic electric bass in a dark natural wood finish. It's in fabulous condition with very little play wear, and has serial #980211201 which dates it to 1998. These are some of the best sounding and playing acoustic bass guitars we've encountered. This full 34" scale USA made beauty features a solid Imbuia body and an ebony fingerboard. The "Manzer wedge" also gives this guitar a signature tone and projection: the bass side of the body is narrower than the treble side. It has the original Fishman ABGP-2 preamp and pickup installed which functions flawlessly. As is common with these, the center seam of the top began to separate and it was professionally re-sealed/repaired, as shown in pics. The bass weighs in at 7lb 12oz, and is set up with a comfortable low fretless action. It plays with great ease and has a truly magical tone. It is certainly among the most fun I've had playing a bass and is hard to put down. This fine and unique instrument has been humidified, has aged beautifully, and would make a great addition to any collection or studio. Comes with the original rigid gig bag. These very rarely appear on the market, so if you've been looking for one, seize the moment! They don't come much nicer. Enjoy!
