It's still a Jazz bass for sure. Not necessarily hotter, but wider range. It's big! Even with the active pre it still has an old school flavor, and with the tone control it can be treated as such.
With these flats it's thick n' bouncy. I had Black Beauties on it and it's like a badass piano. Great sustain on the B even with flats.

I can make a soundclip but have nowhere to post it since I pulled the plug on my website.

Bump for a great looking bass! The colors of wood blend so nicely on this instrument. I remember when you had it listed a while back. I kept looking at it. Very pleasing.......

Probably sounds great too. Good luck with the sale Tom!

Thanks Spencer! I have an embarassment of riches in that I've got 3 of his 5'ers. It's like the Princess and the Pea trying to decide on who stays and who goes. I just gigged my other fretted MPG with Nordy P/MM config and so I currently have a crush on it.

These Big Singles were custom made to fit the old Bart routes, these and the pre have only been installed for a few weeks. The bass and case are like new.

Cheerfully accepting Best Offers. I am very cash focused right now

NOT A PARTS BASS. This is all hand made by Matt, including the neck. Nothing hinky going on, top quality inside and out. Gigged once by me. Comes with a like new Protech Contego case. Ask about our free steak knives offer!

emblymouse · #18 06-10-2011, 05:45 PM

There is flaming in the spalt top too..

Matt's work is as good as any other high end luthier. This is a gorgeous bass!
