Up FOR SALE are two US DJs of the
discontinued Darryl Jones line. There were only about 50 US DJs made. I'm ONLY SELLING ONE AND THE OTHER STAYS! I'm letting you all decide which I keep by which sells first. I only need one j-style bass... yes, I have a preference as to which I keep, but I'll keep that to myself. Jump on one since these don't come up for sale often, and they'll be even harder to come by in the future!
The first is:
Natural Swamp Ash
Birdseye Maple Board
Ebony Blocks with Black Binding
Black Thumbrest/No pickguard (has screwholes)
Aero Pickups
Passive
Notes: there is no pickguard anymore. A previous owner (Juan Alderete of The Mars Volta) removed it and installed a thump rest between the pickups. He did the same thing on his white skyline. There is some scuffing on top of the headstock and an extra button hole which was used for an x brace strap (?). Amazing sounding and feeling bass. Fastest left hand on this bass.
Second is:
Sonic Blue Swamp Ash
Birdseye Maple Board
Pearl Blocks and White Binding
Humbucking Chi-Sonics
Pearloid Pickguard
Passive currently. Comes with j-retro preamp with factory installed coil tap.
Notes: Custom ordered. I am the original owner. It's seen not even a handful of gigs. If there are scratches, I haven't found them. The color is hard to capture, but the bass looks great under stage lights. It was originally active and has a battery box in back, but I wound up prefering the passive to active... as I tend to anyway.
Both basses come with Lakland's Cream Hardshell case (Really nice!) Let me know any questions.
Prices:
Natural US DJ - $2100
Sonic Blue US DJ - $2500 (at a significant loss)
