Tomas, before you consider purchasing the bass you should know that there are a few stores in Southern Ontario that refuse to work on Chandlers basses due to their construction issues.

The bass looks like it has some very nice wood but honestly, I would never purchase a bass known to have such construction issues.

Chandler was a very nice man but he built basses solely as a hobby and he'd sell a couple "just for fun". He used good quality wood but half his basses have either imploded or cracked. There's one guy that I know that's had a bass of his for 8 years without any problems...He's a lucky man, considering he paid only about 4-5k for the instrument and it sounds quite nice.
