Really nice little j-style bass. These used to be available at SamAsh but I believe they don't make this particular model anymore. I just purchased it used from eb*y for $165 with shipping but unfortunately have some dental work(i.e. last stages of a root canal and crown) to pay for coming up at the end of the month (and no insurance). All I've done to it is oil the fretboard and string it up with new MTD stainless steels. If you want, i can throw in some nickelwound Carvin or D'addarios, too. It's in great condition aside from a small ding in the board on the g-string side and a dent in the headstock tip. Not a bad bass at all-lightweight with a nice body shape and blonde transparent finish. Throw on some ultralite tuners and maybe some Nordie pickups and you have a funky jazz 5 thats definitely gig-worthy. I bought it to be an inexpensive backup bass for upcoming tours, but alas, I have bills to pay. $150 shipped Continental US. Paypal Only. Sorry no gigbag, but I'll pack well in a box. ALL REASONABLE OFFERS CONSIDERED.
Here are the pics:

The B ain't that bad. I have taper-core strings on it now, I think a full gauge B at the bridge would possibly work better. It's comparable to the early 2000s USA Jazz 5 I had not too long ago.

Nut width is more towards around 1.75" according to a plastic ruler...string spacing is probably around 18mm. Not as tight as my old stingray or peavey but still not a full a 19mm.

Bump for price drop-$120 shipped. If this doesn't sell here it will most likely be donated.
