Chambered body, Neck-through design. I am the only owner, as this was custom made for me by Jack in 1997. Those of you familiar with Jack’s work will know that this is a quality instrument.
This was my main player from ’97 until 2005. I’ve acquired a number of basses since, and this one isn’t getting any playing time these days. I have far too many basses now, so this one has to go.
Woods: Tiger maple top, bubinga body, 5-piece maple/morado neck, morado fingerboard. Oil finish.
Hardware: Gotoh tuners, Schaller 3-D5 bridge, Corian nut with zero fret, EMG active pickups with bass boost/cut, treble boost/cut and mid boost/cut with selectable center frequency.
Weight is 8.5 on my bathroom scale. String spacing is 17mm at bridge, 10mm at nut, 34" scale.
No scratches, but a few very small dings near the bottom strap button, and some very light belt buckle creases (not scratches) near the control cavity plate.
Balance is very good. No neck dive at all, thanks to the longer upper horn and small headstock. Overall, very comfortable and light.
I would like to get $1200 shipped CONUS (only). This is truly a one-of-a-kind bass, as I don’t think Jack made more than one of any of his basses. And since he’s not building anymore, this is your chance to own one of his exceptional basses.
PayPal, Bank Check or Money Order preferred. Please feel free to PM me with any questions you have about this bass.
