Crazy One of a Kind Bass Body!!!

Sign in to disble this ad



So I bought this on Ebay in maybe 2006. It is a Jazz Bass body that was carved out of an Oak burl in 1966. It was connected to a 1966 Fender Jazz neck but I couldn't afford the whole bass so i just took the body. Supposedly the wood covers are from a '51 Gibson guitar and have been fitted to act as covers for the jazz pickups. I unfortunately never got to use this body and I ALWAYS wanted to. I had it connected to my '69 Fretless Fender neck but never popped any pickups in their. I was cleaning out my gear closet and found it and thought somebody on TB would want it for sure! It has a few cracks in it, but it's built like a coffee table!!! Any questions please feel free! $300 + shipping!!!

That's the thing! It's SUPER light! I'd say no more than 5 lbs. at the MOST....it only looks like a coffee table in the shape of Africa haha....it's really quite amazing

This thing is so cool. If i Had a neck i probably would buy it for the "wow" factor.
Does it's just missing the neck and pickups right?

correct, it just needs a neck, a bridge, and electronics!
