This is quite a very rare bass, not many have been made, and they don't come up for sale too often. In fact I did a search on here and didn't find a single one.
This particular bass was made for Roger Inniss, ordered as a birthday present for him by his girlfriend.
It's a 1988 model, and is in fantastic condition. It was recently refinished in the original satin finish by John. It does still have a few very minor marks on the body, but nothing really major, and they won't photograph.
It was also fully serviced and set up by John, he also fitted a new truss rod to the bass.
It features a 7 piece neck, with an ebony 24 fret board with mother of pearl dots in the usual places. The body is a sandwich of ash, a darker accent wood and the facings (front and rear) are quilted maple. There's a centre core of a much darker wood.
The controls are volume and passive tone, and the active circuit features bass, treble, mid, and a presence control which kind of adds sparkle to the highs. Pick up selection is via the touch pads.
The Jazz type pickups are John Diggins own design.
It's quite a heavy beast, but balances superbly, and doesn't feel too uncomfortable because of this.
I'm not too sure how much this is worth, but I'd like as close to £2000 as is possible. Brand new this bass would cost at least £3,500.
