Details

Bossa basses are/were made by Osaka (Japan) luthier Toshio Setozaki.

My understanding is they were a high end line similar to Ateiler Z.

The bass is very light, approximately 8.2 lbs, and it has very beautiful color/finish (I call it purple burst; matching pickup covers). Classic jazz bass configuration (spacing and length), passive. I am unsure of body wood (ash?) but believe it’s an ebony board. It sounds very pure and transparent. I have a Sadowsky that has a more hifi sound and my Lull jazz is very deep and woody. This is between them in tone.

Comes with Gigbag.

Neck: maple
Fretboard: Ebony
Body: Ash (?)
Preamp: passive (V/V/T)

I just bought another jazz bass and this one doesn't get taken out of the case much anymore already so figured I would let it go where it will be more appreciated! Feel free to message me with any questions and thanks for looking!

Price: 1400 1325 1250

Wow this is so cool and unique. I'm guessing the nut width is 1.5" which basically rules it out for me but thought I'd inquire anyway....

I’m out if town so can’t check currently, but 99% confident it’s 1.5”.

I’ll confirm with you Monday when I’m back though. Thanks for looking!

No apology needed! Thank you for checking! A beautiful bass for those who appreciate the slim taper of a Jazz neck. While not for me, I'm definitely in the minority with my chunky-neck preference :D
@TimBosby I measured it with a tape measure and is definitely 1.5" at the nut. Sorry

@the_home Apologies to you and everyone else as it weighs approximately 8.2 lbs (home digital scale). I have updated the thread (previously said "confidently under 8lbs" but I am a liar/was mistaken and apologize).

I appreciate you asking and hope this helps

She made it safely, to Her new "forever home."

Still too busy with work, and home improvement projects to really get to know her well, but... if the first 5 minutes were any indication... yeah... She can LIVE HERE.

Thank you, Brett.
