Custom Handmade ESH Jazz 4 -One of a kind? Rare in the US

ESH Germany Jazz Bass 4 - Black & Tan - Rare in the US


Here is a rare one, in fact, I have only seen one. I contacted ESH about this one and he said they have no info on it because of new ownership. Esh basses were made in Germany (think Celinder) . The company got a great write up in Bass Player mag (Mar 2001, 4.5/5 for sound), but sadly, the company went under (has since reopened but makes completely different basses now) . This Jazz is a Celinder/Sadowsky inspired joint.
Black custom pickguard on Piano black finished body, all black hardware (super cool ABM bridge, Hipshot UL tuners), Ken Armstrong single coil J pickups (Armstrong make Celinders pickups) and Kent Armstrong made, Esh 2-Band preamp/EQ.

The bass is in excellent condition with just some fine scratches, which isn't uncommon on black basses.

Specs:
Model: Jazz 4
Body: Lightweight Ash
Finish: Gloss Piano Black
Neck: Maple
Scale: 34"
Frets: 21
Fingerboard: Maple
Pickups: Kent Armstrong Single J's
Preamp: Kent Armstrong 2-Band (Bass/Treble)
Controls: Volume/Volume/Bass/Treble
Bridge: ABM (adjustable spacing)
Weight: 9.8 lbs


Selling for $650 shipped in the continental US. International shipping is fine, just PM for quote. PayPal preferred. Not trades right now. Thanks!

Note the screwless pickguard, so pickguard can be removed
