FS:SX (essex) LPB Fretless Jazz Matching Headstock

Sign in to disble this ad
Up for sale is a fretless I've had a long time. I found years ago I prefer unlined fretless but have resisted giving up this bass. But a new project will soon replace this bass and it needs a new home.

The details...
Bought this new from Rondo music maybe 6 years ago? I'm the original owner. Bass is in very good shape. Some honest player wear but no big dings or anything.

Alder body with maple/rosewood neck. Neck is super stable. Haven't had to adjust in years. Seriously. I can think of maybe one other bass I've owned like that. Then again I've never left strings on a bass for 6 years!

Some upgrades...
-Bart Humbucking jazz pickups (not sure of model but they're dead quiet and fairly hot) V/V/T
-Badass bass II bridge
-straplock buttons (have the hardware for the strap side if you want it but some is black)
-Thomastik jazz flats (first set I installed)
-Black Pearl pickgaurd (not a perfect fit so the neck pocket and control plate have some slop but not too noticable)
-Back of neck smoothed with steel wool for a slicker feel.
-Ships in a Fender Gig Bag

Bass plays great, sounds great and looks great. It's just not getting played anymore and it deserves to be. Setup up woth medium low action for maximum mwah.
Not really looking for trades as I'm using this to fund another project but send me trade possibilities if you want.


Yours for $275 $250 shipped CONUS. Paypal is great, Local deal is really great.



Pics. The Finish is pretty sweet looking especially in bright light or the sun.

Received some pm's guess I forgot some pertinent information...

This bass is 34" scale and is a factory fretless. It also makes you more attractive to the opposite sex.

Heres a soundclip I threw together settings are all knobs up, bridge solo, neck solo, bias towards bridge, bias toward neck and back to all knobs ups. Sorry for the sucky playing.

Sweet looking bass! I'm having trouble with the sound clip though. Nothing seems to be coming through. Maybe the problem is on my end. I'm looking for a low priced fretless, and the mods on this definitely have me thinking.

Thanks. Haven't been bumping this thread since I'm starting to rethink selling this bass. But still think I'd be happier with an unlined fretless.

Really is a shame SX had to change the headstocks.
they really do make a hell of a bass for the money. Especially if you're up for modding all.

Thanks! Just checked and the link works on my phone, if you want to pm me your email I can email you a soundclip if you like.
