FS/FT: STR Vintage Jazz Bass 5 String. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! MUST SEE!

[honest abe]

I'm selling/trading my beloved transparent white STR Vintage Jazz 5 string bass. I have two STR Jazz basses and the other (with 60's position pups) fits my needs a little better. It sounds amazing as you can hear in a clip included below (passive mode, mostly bridge pickup, with tone rolled down halfway). It plays and is built as good as any USA Fodera, Sadowsky, or Lakland. Cosmetically it is a 9.2 out of 10 as it only has 3 dings also pictured below. As for trades I'm pretty open to anything fretted with 4 or 5 strings. Let me know what you have.

The nut seems to be bone as it is kinda yellow and not white like most plastic nuts but I'm not positively sure. The bass is shielded well so the single coil hum is minimal when pups are soloed but it's still there. In most places you won't notice it but in a few it is noticeable. There was very minimal processing done in the mix and I'd agree that it does sound phenomenal!

The CD will be on Itunes in a couple of weeks. The bass was recorded straight into the instrument input on my RME Fireface 800. No fancy DI's or preamps here. It was recorded in passive mode with the Pan about 70% toward the bridge pickup and the tone about halfway down. Hope this helps.

Very helpful. Wish I could make a move on the bass. I've had my eye on it for while. GL on the sale.

Any other trades?

Any interest in a trade for a Dingwall ABI- 5 string?

Does the tone work while in passive mode? That thing's beautiful, and sounds great in the sound clip.
