Parting out: Jazz Bass (neck, body, pups, ect)

[ledyard]

I have this in the classifieds because I need some cash to finalize a gear purchase. I honestly love the bass but my P bass gets more love nowadays. Let me post some pics and then i'll get into the rest after:

* I will have to sell at least the neck and one other "part" before I can actually part out this bass.

****The neck is a MIJ I + 6 digit serial # Which means its a 89' or 90'. Super sweet jazz neck. It has been my favorite Jazz neck I have owned to date. Even over my MIA jazz basses. If my P bass neck wasnt the slim profile model it would be on my P bass right now. I'm not sure what the nut is, bone? corian? The low fret action is perfect with 45-105's though. Truss rod works perfectly. I tuned the bass down a half step when I got it, gave the truss rod a slight adjustment and havn't had to touch it since through all kinds of weather. Neck will come with tuners so it will be ready to bolt on and go. $200 Shipped.

****The Body is a warmoth ash with quilt maple top. trans red relic finish. Relics are great but you have to find the right audience for your buyers. Ofcourse you could refinish it if you choose. The relic finish was professionally done buy someone on the west coast. I have no idea who it was though. Lots of finish checking and wear, belt buckle rash. Routed for two EMBB pups obviously. Rear control route aswell. String through body ferrules installed. I dont have a weight but its not super heavy. Will not come with strap buttons. Could be with or without the bridge. your choice. $150 + shippingor $165 + shipping with bridge.

****Bridge, Gotoh. I'm not sure of the exact model. String through compatible. $30 shipped.

**** Pickups and pre, Pre is 9volt. It is an older Ken Smith preamp. It will be included free with the pups. Bass/treb boost/cut, pan, push pull coil tap (could be phase but I dont think so)
Pups are Bartolini EBMM style I have to pop one out and see exactly what model they are. There are 3 different models.
I'm going to base my price on the cheapest ones. The 3 EBMM style pickup series are priced $125, $134, $170 each. So I'll say $150 shipped for the pair? (pre-amp and knobs included)

Update, I popped out the neck pup and there was no info on it anywhere. Due to the sound I would have to guess that these are the CB (classic) series. I dropped the price a little.

If you wish to purchase the Body with bridge and pups I'll give you a combined price there too.

I put this one together, but originally had a Moses Graphite neck..The preamp was originally a Ken Smith, and I'd guess it still is by the looks of the controls..she looks like it's had a tough run..the body was in a stack slated for delivery to a well known boutique builder, and was "handpicked" when you could still walk into Warmoth and pick one out..The finish was a red dye, and a few lights coat of "rattlecan-nitro"...don't remember exactly the details, but originally built when I was still in Seattle, I feel kind of sorry for her, wish I had some spare cash..
