Custom Parker Fly Bass 5 String 2003 Red "Time Machine" Instrument

This 2003 Fly Bass is indeed a “time machine” instrument in that it is in pristine, new, off the bench condition. As a long time personal friend of Ken, he suggested that I buy this bass because it was from the last run that was made before the company was sold. He also set me up with a clear plastic “slap guard” and some beautiful metallic knobs with lines. I have the original knobs and of course the plastic can be easily removed if you don’t slap and want it in vintage original condition. If you have read this far then you know exactly what this instrument is about, an ergonomic and tonal wonder and clearly a prized ax for a collection. A similar instrument is listed on ebay right now for $6,850.00,  which may be in as good condition but it is impossible for it to be in better condition. This one has never been gigged and rarely played.
