I adore Wilkins basses, and my main player is and will remain a Wilkins PJ5. But I can't seem to make my peace with single coil Jazz basses. If this bass doesn't do it for me, then I fear nothing ever will. So I must either sell it, or get it rerouted with humbuckers. I would prefer that someone own this bass as designed and as built by Pat, by hand.
I would prefer to sell it: $2050 shipped CONUS Paypal.
