(Update 9/10/13 - Decided to keep it, this bass is not for sale)
(Updated neck info below. See 09/08/13 update)
I think at some point every bass player should have the experience of making their own instrument. In my quest for a black bass with black hardware I decided to just make my own. And here it is. If I wasn't gassing for another Valenti I would not be selling this bass. Especially since I have allot more in it than Im getting out of it. This is a Fender Jazz Bass MIM body with a Warmoth Teak neck and GraphTech Nut. I installed Aguilar 4J60 pick ups and a Bassmods BEQ12 preamp. The bridge is by Gotah. Its very clear and articulate due to the teak neck. This bass has minimal playing time and has never been gigged. Kept in a smoke-free home. If I wasnt gassing for another Valenti I wouldnt be selling this bass.
I purchased the Jazz Body from here on TB. The body is in 8/10 condition since there are a few scuffs here and there, nothing major. The trouble areas I took photos of as seen below. Scuffs are from the previous owner. Whoever gets this bass could always touch up with a black marksalot?
I bought the neck new from Warmoth. The neck is in 10/10 condition.
Price is [DEL]$800.00[/DEL] $700 shipped with case. CONUS only. PayPal Only.
Bass will ship well packed inside a bass guitar shipping box. Includes TKL canvas gig case or used HSC.
(Im considering parting out the bass if I cant sell outright.)
