Up for grabs is my Pavel Jazz Pro Deluxe 5. Unfortunately, bills and a baby on the way dictate the sale. I don't really need to sell it, however the extra cash would be nice. The bass came to me with a Badass bridge, twin Bart single coil pups, Bart pre, and no string through option.
Carl Pedigo (of Lakland fame) performed a much needed overhaul. Carl retro-fitted the Hipshot bridge, installed the Nordstrand Dual coil pups, installed the Glockenklang preamp, installed series/parallel switches for ea pickup. drilled/installed a string through option, and fitted new neck ferrule hardware. Additionally, Carl did a complete fret job, neck finish, and reshaped the profile. Pat Wilkins refinished the body (same color). Basically, the bass is like brand new!!!!!
Why all the work you ask?? Well, the bass arrived to me in better shape on paper than in the case. The neck was worn, the frets worn, etc, etc. However, now, the bass plays and feels like new. There are ,however, a few blemishes.....
(1) there are some minor file markings near the nut on the b string side of the neck to headstock fairing
(2) originally, there was a separate box for the preamp battery above the control the cavity box. There was plenty of room for the battery in the control cavity.....so I had Carl fill the hole in. I couldn't capture it in a picture. However, in the right light you can see the outline/silhouette of where the battery box used to be. Unless you have the body tilted the right way AND in the right kind of light, you cant see the silhouette. The bass comes the case pictured below.
Specs are as follows;
34" scale
