Details

Ships to:
  1. United States
Selling as we recently had our first kid and now that my Ritter issues are resolved, this one has to go.

Specs:
Walnut body
Buckeye burl top with matching headstock and pickup covers
Padauk neck
Ziricote fretboard (radiused by Sweetwater, was originally flat radius from Prat)
Nordstrand Dual Coil 6's
Noll 3-band eq with active/passive switch and passive tone knob
Hipshot tuners and bridge
Schaller straplocks
Ebony knobs
Luminlay side-dots
Currently strung with Thomastik-Infeld Powerbass strings
Plek'ed by Sweetwater in July 2021
Custom bone nut placed by Sweetwater in July 2021 (wasn't installed with glue, so nut can become dislodged during string replacement. Pressure from strings is plenty to keep it in place)
Ships in case seen in photos

Great melodic sound for solo and extended-range tunes. The Noll is really versatile and can get pretty much any sound you want out of it.

Beautiful bass! Great idea having the fretboard radiused, refretted, and Plek'd by Sweetwater.

How has the "Pleking" held up over the last 4 and a half years? Are any frets higher or lower? Still flat as in 2021?

How stable is the neck? Does it need significant adjustment throughout the year, or is the Padauk really stable?

33" scale? 16.5 mm string spacing?

Thanks!

I haven't used it as much as I used to due to getting my grail bass a couple years ago. Frets are still in great shape, haven't noticed any lifting or anything.

34" scale, 17mm spacing.

Neck has been incredibly stable the entire time I've had it.

Sorry it took a while, but I heard back from them with the following:

"I was able to find the tech’s notes about the radius – here is what she had to say -



“Bass was re-fretted with SS. Fret board was planed to a 20" radius. Frets were PLEK'd, frets were polished. All hardware was tightened, bass was polished. Bass was set up with provided strings in standard tuning. Truss rod was adjusted, saddles adjusted for low action, bone nut was installed, nut slots were cut, pickup height was adjusted, intonation was set.”"

is this bass still available?

I'm curious where exactly that bridge pickup is placed. Are you able to confirm if the center of the pickup falls at 60's jazz bass placement? or something else?

It is still available

The placement is something else entirely. I'm not super familiar with Fender details, so the best info I could find relative to j-pup placements was here:

I added a photo below of a measuring tape going from the G string's witness point to the middle of the pup
