For sale: M Bass lined fretless 4

Sign in to disble this ad
SOLD



This is a fantastic bass, and I'm only selling it because I am interested in one of Jon's J style basses. It has a thick, chambered alder body with flamed koa top. The pickups are RMC Pow’r Bass polyphonic piezos in the bridge saddles and a custom Kent Armstrong dual coil mag pickup in the bridge position. Aguilar OBP-3 preamp with a Bartolini MPB2 Buffer. It has a lined ebony board. The position markers were a little hard to see in darker situations, so I had Jon put in brighter lines. The strap buttons are recessed into the body. There is also a removable fingerboard ramp, wooden knobs and cool wooden bridge. The craftsmanship is fantastic. Jon is one of my favorite builders. Impeccable quality, and a heck of a nice guy too. I've played a lot of high end basses, and this one is second to none. The bass is in great shape. I would like to get $2200 shipped for the bass. I'm not really looking for trades right now.

These are not my pics, but I can take more if needed.

Wow, that thing looks amazing, and M Basses are quite rare (sadly). An uncommon find here, folks!

Nice Bass!! Jon built me a fretless 5 string earlier this year and it is fantastic. I have had 2 of his basses and they are great. Whoever gets this bass will not be disappointed!!

Wow Nicky, you ended up with this eh? What a beauty of a bass. Jon is one of my absolute favorite builders. One of the best basses I've ever played was a 6 string of his....that one still haunts me....and yes, one of the nicest people out there.

Good luck man....great price on a killer bass.
