Well, I've been holding off on putting this up for awhile since I'll inevitably be barraged by questions. Juan Alderete almost pulled the trigger on this one when I had it on craigslist but he was turned off by it's main feature, someone carved a meteor-like figure out of the wood with "JD" in initials. Aside from that the neck has tons of finish missing but plays easily.
Here's the composition:
73 Neck
73-74 Body, thumb rest and not pull bar
73 plate
tuners and string tree from a '71 Precision
Dunlop Straplocks
Old/Mod'd bridge
Modern USA P pickup
Modern USA P pickguard
Newer pots and knobs
New frets with level and setup within the past year
New nut, also wood is missing from behind the nut, I've had this for 3 years or so I think, no problems with that.
Body de-finished, the wood is quite nice looking
I've used this bass on tons of gigs and never had an issue, everything adjusts fine and the action is easily playable, it could go lower but you'd have to take off the BAII. All the frets play with no buzz, tried to capture that in the vid.
I'll include a nicely padded gigbag to make sure it arrives safely.
$850 w/o BAII
NO TRADES
I shot a couple vids first, I'll put up some pics later. This is going through a GK MB Fusion and an Epifani UL-212 Series One.
