Its never easy to have to part with a prized bass and this Zia is no exception. I have been needing to redirect some assets into other areas/priorities right now..and this is something that took months for me to work up to do. As those of you that like his work know, JP has stopped handcrafting basses personally and there are a limited number of the originals out there..this one is approx 2 years old in mint conditon and only used in the studio. I am the original owner.
Specs:

34 scale
Black limba body
Macasser ebony top and headstock with padauk accent line

Bolt on wenge neck
Macasser ebony fingerboard
JP Basses pups
East pre with active/passive and master tone
Padauk heel block

This bass is one of the most unique basses I've ever had..and it is truly an original handmade boutique instrument. JP's reputation on these instruments was stellar, and the tone, playability and design of this bass keeps that intact.
Comes with Ritter gig bag that came with it from JP.

$4000 US shipped to the lower 48, for European buyers shipping not included. Paypal. No trades please.

Thanks for taking a look!

A few more shots...with chrome hardware ..of course! ;)

You have a PM !!!

Beautiful bass! Good luck with the sale. Hopefully things will change for you and you'll be able to keep it.

Bump for a super, top-notch seller (my highest recommendation!), and for a bass that I would snap up in a jiffy if I weren't in a rare gear reduction mode. :p

Trust me, I wanted to! But I really, really, really need to thin the herd a bit right now. :(

Still avail.

These wont come up very often...if you've ever thought about owning a JP give this some serious consideration!

ok back up for the early fall:)

Some interesting offers but unfortunately no trades .

Someone will get a very unique killer boutique bass with rare lineage!

C'mon lets talk!

Trying out a NEW PRICE,

$3400 with shipping.....

Sorry again, no trades...


Lets talk!

Wow, that's one of the nicest basses I have EVER seen!

That JP is a very talented luthier!


Price reduction above ($3400) is going to hurt but its a good deal for anyone who's wanted one of his basses.

Decided to try this again to see if the right buyer is out there now:) I received many trade offers but I already have a few too many basses..so I prefer to sell outright.

See first post for all info.

Thanks for looking!

Here you go

nice black limba

Free bump for a terrific looking bass, as I've always been a fan of JP's work.

Charles, think you should go for it! You know you want it!!!:bassist::bassist::bassist:

I do want it, but I just don't have the funds. Free bump for a fellow Canadian.

Bump.....


pms returned.

Free bump. You couldn't buy a bass off of a better person if you tried. Rest assured that any of Mitch's basses are top shelf in every way. Best of luck with the sale.:D
