For sale is my beloved SX SJB-75 5 string
Only reason it's for sale is because I just got a new bass and this one isn't getting any more action from me. Plus I need the money.
Modifications include:
-Swapped out pickups for a set of Bartolini 59CBJD L1/S1's
-Swapped original string guide for a Hipshot one
-Spray painted pickguard black
-Swapped original knobs for Fender-style ones
*Takes a big breath*
The Bad:
-I have an old set of Elixir's on it right now that I individually picked out for Drop-C tuning(.120 .85 .65 .45 IIRC). If you wanted to tune it to standard, you would most likely have to get a new set. You could always play around in flopsville, but who wants to do that!
-There's a gouge in the back of the body and a ding on the top of the body.
-It's in need of a good setup
-The control plate is missing a screw
-Somethings messed up with the wiring and thus causes the bass to cut out randomly.
-The 15th fret is too high and causes the 14th fret to fret out when you're playing on it(but usually only when you're playing on the G string).
-The bridge pickup doesn't take up all the space in the route
All that bad stuff aside, there's a lot of great stuff about this bass, I swear! Hahaha. It's a great player, sounds excellent, and has served me very well in the time that I've owned it(about a year). On top of that, I really don't think that there is a better bass out there for the money!
I'm going to start off asking
$150 for it, shipped CONUS.
I really need the cash. However, I'd be willing to do a trade for an EHX Russian Big Muff + $100 from you.
Now, time for pics:
