I just received this bass in a trade from TB'r Usedtoplaymore who traded AlbatrossAudio(original owner) for it recently. It is a great bass all the way around: sound, looks, quality and playability. I am just more of a Fender Jazz guy and that's what I will be going back to after this. Here's the info, most of it from AlbatrossAudio's recent ad.
Condition: 9/10. The only cosmetic issue is the headstock has a couple of dings and at the top the finish it rubbed/flaked off. It in no way affects the sound or playability and this is still a fantastic looking bass. I almost just wanted to keep it for looks, but then I remembered I don't play in front of a mirror and I usually play with my eyes closed. After I got it today, I cleaned it and set it up with brand new DR Fatbeams. It is pretty hefty weight-wise, the body is solid and resonant. But it's not bad at all when using a Comfort Strapp or something along those lines, I will ever include one I don't use in the sale(it's the short length).
Specs:
Bubinga body with Flamed Maple top
Black Stain finish on face, Natural on back
Wenge Neck with Ebony Fretboard
EMG 40J pickup
Sadowsky 2 Band preamp
Black Hardware
Hipshot B Style Bridge
Hipshot Ultralites Tuners
Schaller StrapLocks
Contoured heel for easier access to the upper frets
TKL softcase(like Sadowsky) included
Price is starting at $1300shipped OBO.
Only(that means only!) trades I am looking for is
1. Fender American Deluxe Jazz V with a maple board. It doesn't matter if it's the older 1 string-tree or newer 2 string-tree version
2. Fender American Standard Jazz 5 string with a Maple board.
Most likely plus cash from you in both instances, how much depends on the specific bass up for trade.
Thanks for looking!
