This partscaster bass is what you’d get if a Blackguard Telecaster and a Jazz Bass had a baby,
The Jazz Bass body is a new 2012 model honey blonde USA Highway 1 with the nitro finish.
The neck is a brand new Warmoth Tele Bass neck, two piece birdseye maple / birdseye maple. 1 1/2" nut width, standard 34” scale, 6150 frets, 17.46mm tuner ream, 20 frets, straight 10" radius, black face dots inlay, standard steel truss rods. The neck is finished in Tru-oil and buffed to a smooth satin finish.
Bone nut cut and installed by Rob DiStefano in NJ, who also did the setup and electronics.
The volume controls are 2 Tele-style dome knobs (Callaham, I think – I’ve had them lying around a while), tone control is a Jazzmaster / Jaguar knob. Kind of looks like a Tele switch tip to me...
Black bakelite pickguard from WD.
Hipshot HB-2 Lollipop tuners
Pickups are Aguilar 4J-60s
Electronics are CTS pots and an orange drop cap.
All other hardware is new USA Fender except for the bridge, which I believe is a MIJ 80s model.
The bass comes set up with easy-playing low action. Weight is 9.8 lb.
There’s no case, but I will remove the neck (leaving the strings attached) and pack it securely in s smaller box. You’ll just need to place the neck back in the neck slot and screw the neck plate on. You can also pick up in the northern NJ area.
Price is $550 shipped / PayPal’d.
