Bought a '75 Fireglo 4001, so now looking to sell only, no trades. Price dropped to $1,100 shipped CONUS in OHSC.
I LOVE this instrument, but I NEVER play it. Ack. I am really a guitar player who loves moonlighting on bass, and thus I thought this would be the perfect 6-string marriage. Turns out not so much. I do have two other JJ guitars (which I play all the time), but I just never quite found a musical home for this one.
If you have always wanted a gorgeous, super-friendly, short scale JJ tic-tac bass, then look no further: here it is. As you know Monsieur Jones has closed up his fabulous Nashville shop, so these are only going to become even more rare! It is copper with matching headstock, Gotoh bridge and tuners, super-cool black/brown OHSC. There are two very small (<5mm) scratches on the back of the neck, and one exceedingly small knick on the back of the body... otherwise, it's like new.
Let's do this thing!

Thursday morning "I'm gonna see the Flaming Lips in Chicago tonight" bump. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2011 Location: Raleigh, NC | | | I used my 4-string at a rehearsal last night with a different band than Sunday's recording session. Same reaction. One of the guitar players said, "That now has to be your bass in this band."
Bump for rockstarsmd.

Let's do this thing! | What's the scale length, string spacing at the nut and the bridge, weight?
Thanks,
Cameron
