So, my mom has Stage III breast cancer, and no insurance. Yes, that sucks. However thankfully she had the foresight to raise a son who has a penchant for acquiring good music gear, and so here we are today. I decided to start over fresh with this thread (no more endless 'bump!' posts) as well as lower my asking price.
This was my retirement plan. I got this from Jonno1707 about a year ago, and it's everything I wanted in a vintage J and more. It has 'the tone', it has 'the feel', and because it also has 'the modifications' (hey, it's a player), you're gonna pay a lot less than a 'mint condish' axe that probably wasn't all that hot to begin with. This axe is all-original EXCEPT for the pickups (Basslines; according to Jonno he bought it from 'some dude' and the original pickups disintegrated a few years later) and the pots. My understanding is that Jonno also had it routed for a 9V battery at one time by Vinnie Fodera (yes, that Vinnie Fodera) right under the pickguard. I plan to have some more detailed pictures up shortly, but these should give you a decent taste of what's to come. Any detail shots that anybody wants? I am now asking $4000 OBO shipped anywhere in the CONUS. I will include a beat-up but sturdy Fodera case (same as I received it). Currently strung with DR Hi-beams.     [/quote]
I will also entertain straight-across trades for Fodera 4-strings, and Sadowsky 4-strings with sunburst finishes or flamey tops + cash. |

Good luck to you and your Mom.
Everybody- this is a sick deal. I have a 69' Jazz nearly identical to this and I can vouch that it is the sh!+. Mine was recently appraised at nearly $6000 and the bass for sale here is in far better cosmetic condition.
Tone for days, AMAZING sustain, and it always suprises me that I can get such versatility out of two volume knobs and a passive tone pot.
Lots of people I play with get mad at me if I bring a different bass to the gig, and engineers and recording studios love it. |

p.s. bump! |

Very sorry to hear that your mother is ill. I do however, fail to see how a Fodera 4 string or a Sadowsky 4 string with sunburst or flamey tops will help her. |

--Lee | Not that you need to explain nothing but you are right.The vintage market is stagnant and people are waiting around to see how low they will go IMO..Best of luck to Mom from a cancer survivor  |
