New York Bass Works (NYBW) Reference Series RS5-22 PJ

New York Bass Works (NYBW) Reference Series RS5-22 5-string PJ
This gorgeous bass was built in Dec, 2020 but looks like it was built yesterday. 
It is in dead mint condition except one very tiny ding in the clearcoat near the bridge that I didn't notice the first few times I inspected the bass.
Like all NYBW basses, the build quality is phenomenal, as good as it gets.
And like all the NYBW basses I have played, the B string is tight, crystal clear, and MASSIVE.
The only other B strings I have heard that come anywhere close to this one are the 37" Dingwall B strings.
The bass sounds awesome in passive mode.
But flick the toggle switch into active mode, and you can knock down buildings with the Anima RED preamp from 3 Leaf Audio.  See the preamp specs here.
What makes this bass truly special is how effortless and comfortable it is to play. David's attention to detail on the ergonomic design of the instrument results in a bass that has a very traditional visual appearance, and yet a strikingly refined modern and comfortable feel.
It is no surprise that you don't see many NYBW basses on the used market.
This one has become available because the owner is only playing 6-strings now.
