I'm in pain. I hope this is over quickly so the grieving process can run its course.
Too many Jazz basses in the stable. I kinda went on a Jazz binge over the last few years, and now my Precisions and Rics are getting worked back into the rotation.
However, this is one awesome bass, I really hate to see it go.
It came from one of the Japanese shops (Katana?), I forget. I have $859.00 invested in the bass + shipping, then I put it in a nice hardshell, great fit. I thought the seller cut me a pretty good deal which I would like to further sweeten and pass on to my fellow TB'ers.
The specs:
Ash body
3TS
Maple neck, 1.5" at the nut
Rosewood fretboard with binding
Vintage USA Jazz Bass pickups
10.6 pounds
Serial number dates it to 2008-2009
Original black PG included, it currently has a nice tort PG
There are a couple of small scratches on the back. See pics.
This bass is a beast. Ballsy Jazz bass tone. It has a brand new set of Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky strings on it (.045-.105). The nut has been filed to perfection. Tilt-O-Matic adjustment works like a charm. Tons of fret life, frets seem to be quite level, I had no trouble setting it up with low action (around 5/64ths at the 12th fret, little relief). Of course, I play with a lighter touch. Unless you play exactly like me, it will need a set-up to taste. It seems to do better with a medium to heavy gauge string set.
$850.00 OBO, I'll pick up the shipping CONUS (Alaska and Hawaii, we need to talk), no messy international shipping. Not interested in trades.

Some photos look a little hazy because of afternoon sunlight, it is not hazy at all, very pretty 3TS and poly finish.
