Then it was sold back to Brian at the Low End and not sure who has owned it since then to now. It has had atleast 4 owners that I know of... Killer bass.

Does it still have the tone knob pull for single coil and the bass tone pull for passive?

Here are shots when it was fretted:

[j-raj]

The knobs were changed from the pic that I up loaded, Chris gave them to me... And the p/up covers that originally were on this bass started to split at the book match so I shipped it back and he did strips over the p/ups unbookmatched and lacquered the heck out of them.

You sure it's the same bass, it's mint condition and has an beautiful freltess Ebony Fretboard.

[crossstick]

Oh yeah it's the same bass, looks really nice there to, prefer the new knobs though

I'm assuming it's Chris at lowend that's defretted this bass, it's such a good i job i never new it was fretted.

I really hope thart bass was professionally defretted.. who in their right mind would attempt a defret on a bass of that caliber?!

Other than Chris himself, I mean.

And that Xotic is officially my new favorite Jazz-esque bass.. Wow.

Is this the same Xotic? It sure does look like it!

[crossstick]

Oh yeah it was done professionally alright, never occurred to me that this once was fretted. I must say it's really interesting to hear your basses history. I just bough it from Brian at lowend and now i know it's had this whole other life

[crossstick]

Yeah that's the one, although it sounds a little different when i play it

PRICE DROP on the JO 5. Now firm at $2999AU (around $2660US and $1950EUR)

[crossstick]

Just got an email back from Brian at the low end shop, Chris Benavente Defretted the bass because both he and Brian thought it would make a better fretless with that pickup placement. And they were right
