FS: JAF 6 string headless bass moses graphite neck

bent · #1 03-01-2011, 04:12 PM

Hate to sell this bass but I have too much stuff and some had to go. I had this bass made for me about 8 years ago by a builder called JAF basses out of Canada. I don't know how many he built over the years but I believe he did for a couple of years. Anyhow, I bought the hardware and shipped it to him and had him build it for me.

Here's the specs:
Weight: heavy (12lbs?)
Woods: Ash/Wenge
Scale: 35"
Neck: moses graphite w/truss rod
Hardware: ABM, I think
Pickups: EMG 45DC's with a stacked BTC/18v

The good: plays and sounds great. Nice punchy sound and low, even action.
The bad: heavy. Surface crack in side of neck (been there the whole time I owned it and never got bigger). B string bolt at the string retainer is cross threaded but works. Jack crackles - probably some contact cleaner would fix it.

I'm asking $900 shipped for this bass. Trades will be ignored (sorry, too many basses already) Send me a PM with your email for more pics.

Bump. I'm willing to accept offers for this bass (except trade offers

)

I've had a couple of questions about measurements on this bass so here's what I've got:

24th fret: 3 19/64 inches across
bridge: 21/32 inches on center (somewhat adjustable)
nut: 2 3/16 inches across

I've included pictures with my ruler (accurate to 64th of an inch - I use it for putting together dress uniforms)

Let me know if you have any other questions.

BUMP for a sweet piece of Bass! That's dirt cheap for a graphite 6 string! Where else can you find a headless graphite 6er besides Status?

Thanks for the bump! I'll be out of town all weekend but I'll be back to answer questions Sunday night.

I love this! That's an amazing price! I was expecting it to be like $1800 or something...

Thanks!

It is a really cool bass - I've never seen another neck like this one.

I dug through my archives and found a 13 second audio clip. PM me with your email address and I will hook you up

That is really a nice build - I've got a Status Headless Stealth 6, and it'd be nice if they could hook up....

That would be quite a scene!

Wow. That's outstanding. I love it.

bump. Weight is exactly 12lbs according to USPS scale. Balance is excellent sitting or standing.

Sold!
