I just picked this bass up after looking for one for a long time, and it is exactly what I was looking for ... but before it arrived I was offered a surprise deal on a Lakland USA JOBO 5. Couldn't pass that one up. I don't need two Alder J-basses, so this one is for sale.
Its in nice shape for its age. The only issue is that A string saddle intonation adjust screw doesn't work anymore. You just set it manually, then tune up and its held in place by tension. Works fine, but if you're picky you might want to replace it.
Sounds and plays like a J-bass should. I just set it up medium-low with some fat beams.
$500 includes shipping to the lower 48. Includes original harshell case, truss rod adjuster, and original warantee card. No trades.

What's the E string height @ the 12th fret? Any scratches/dings that stand out, especially on the back of the neck?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: Ventura, CA | | | a little piece of the saddle that retains the screw broke off when I was setting the intonation. I could be superglued back on, or you could try to procure a replacement saddle. But its really easy to just slide it into place before tuning to pitch. It doesn't move around with string pressure one it.
Action is roughly 3/32" on the E, 2/32" on the G. I'll have to double chekc on the wear for you tonight when I get home, but there is nothing that effects playability. |

Plus, how much does it weigh?

Bathroom scale says 8.5lbs. |
