A stunning instrument featuring a breathtaking Figured Claro Walnut top (yes, walnut—but with absolutely incredible figuring…). Truly mind-blowing. It makes you think that someone up there really did a fantastic job—at least when it comes to wood… for the rest of the world, well… that’s another story! Jokes aside, there’s obviously the exceptional luthier work, and the credit here clearly goes to Rob Elrick, who delivers with this instrument an incredible bass in every respect: design, comfort, and undeniably beauty.

This 2014 bass comes to us second-hand in very good condition, with some light playing marks on the front and a few surface scratches on the back, but no dents or major damage. This instrument has certainly been played, but it has also been well cared for. The photos shown on the website are those taken in 2014 when the bass was new.

This Gold Series bass with the e-volution design features a lightweight ash body with perfectly sculpted contours and bevels. And when we say lightweight, we really mean it—it’s astonishingly light. This 5-string bass weighs just under 4 kg, which is remarkable for such an instrument.

But what truly sets it apart is its spectacular one-piece Figured Claro Walnut top. The figuring, flames, waves and natural patterns are simply incredible and completely unique. The neck and fingerboard are made of wenge, and the medium-profile frets provide outstanding playing comfort. Yes, that’s quite a lot of praise and superlatives—but we assure you, in this case it is fully justified.

The Gold Series features extraordinary instruments recognizable by their Gold logo and bolt-on neck construction. However, the Heel-Less design developed by Elrick offers truly exceptional upper-fret access. The body carve is shaped so that the asymmetrically bolted neck remains fully accessible all the way up to the 24th fret. You can play along the entire neck without ever hitting a traditional neck heel—ingenious and incredibly comfortable.

And since this beauty is equipped with Bartolini Soapbar pickups and a Bartolini 3-band preamp, the sound is just as impressive as the looks.
