This bass is beyond *exactly* what I would like to trade for! I have a Jazz bass up for trade, but it is not a roadworn or MM Personally, I think it's better than either though.

If John did the work, then this is one bada$$ bass!!

Any interest in a fretless jazz? FS: '06 Fender Am. Standard Jazz Fretless

John Kallas does phenomenal work. I own one of his 1966 replica jazz basses and it's by far the best jazz bass I have ever played.

It's also the same color as this P which, of course, makes me want it.............

[EduardoK]

Makes me want yet one more P...
nut width/neck shape? standard B?

All right guys, you can do what I did and
A). Purchase a P-Bass for around $400
B). Purchase some Thomastik Flatwounds for around $50
C). Pick up a Seymour Duncan Pickup (John recommended the SPB-1) for around $60
D). Pay for shipping and labor to send the bass to John and have him hook it up

OR

Just buy this one for $450 and save yourself some time and cash!

Obviously I still think the $650+ I put into the bass was worth it or I wouldn't be sending my next project to John. I am not so great at collecting basses, I need one or two basses at the most and beyond that I get overwhelmed, so I'm passing this gem along to make room for the same version in Jazz Bass style.

Sorry man, that bass does look sweet but I'm actually hunting for some 7.25 necks and want to snatch them from an MM or RW, possibly '62 Reissue.

I checked some of your posting history, I didn't see any Jazz bass for sale.

Also, if it is still for sale, would you consider an international one ?

I'd consider an international sale, I've never seen any problems with that as long as we can figure out where it's going and how much shipping will cost.

As far as the specs, I must have missed that earlier post. Standard P-Bass specs here:
20 frets
C shape Neck
1.625" at nut
9.5" radius

*edit: I'm assuming "Standard B?" is asking if the bridge is standard? In that case, yes.
