Musicvox Space Cadet 12 String Bass (With Stereo Output!)

This is a very rare, limited edition Musicvox Cadet 12 Bass with a 4×3 string setup. The bass was constructed in 2001, and is 1 of only 10 produced in the seafoam green color. (Only 9 actually ever made it into the hands of players because one was accidentally destroyed during shipping.) The bass cost $2000 in 2001!

This Musicvox Cadet 12 has been in climate-controlled storage the last eight years and is in great cosmetic condition, with plastic still on the battery cover. No buckle rash. Little or no fret wear. Plays great and sounds amazing. 

The Cadet 12 sports dual humbucker outputs, one active and one passive, offering a dual signal stereo output. This means that the Space Cadet 12 can be played through two amps simultaneously!

The Musicvox Cadet 12 features a Mahogany body, a Maple neck and a Rosewood fingerboard. The bass also features a brass nut and is strung with 4 courses of 3 strings, tuned in octaves, in this order : eeE , aaA , ddD , ggG . But, I’ve read that many have used all sorts of tunings on these basses. The tuners on the first series basses have the locking mechanisms on top of the tuner posts. I find the bass to sound slightly more ‘chimey’ than other 12-strings I’ve played, which gives it a little more upper end clarity to my ears.

I am including a Gator bass case for free.
