F/T Custom Bass

Just got this from a fellow TBer and although its unique I realize that just have too many.
Here.s the original description. "Up for sale here is a custom built Jazz bass build. I bought this bass about 3 months ago. The band that I bought this bass for has disbanded so I will not be using this bass. The finish on this bass is very cool in my opinion. I have never seen anything like it. The body has a high gloss finish and has Kent Armstrong pickups and they are wired VVT. The fingerboard is ebony and has a great profile. The weight of the bass is under 9 lbs. The bass also has covers for the bridge and the neck pickup. I do not have a case for this but it will be very well packed."

I Have a custom bass, Allparts Neck, The Body feels chambered; The finish on this bass is very cool in my opinion. I have never seen anything like it. The body has a high gloss finish and has Kent Armstrong pickups and they are wired VVT. The fingerboard is ebony and has a great profile. The weight of the bass is under 9 lbs. The bass also has covers for the bridge and the neck pickup.

Full disclosure I took the bass to a reputable tech here in NYC, the neck needed shimming and doweling to center the strings, also the bass was completely setup! From the 16th fret to the 20th the frets will require some fret work. The action is med to high so with a little extra work you can have a really sweet bass.

Looking for trades only! Micro bass heads, no cabs. Or just run stuff by me. Trade value will be 500ish.

Thanks for looking.

Pics up soon showing before and after shots..
