    A seriously great deal for a fellow Canadian!

    Re-listed ... I got a camera!

    Medium scale cousin to the famous Duff bass, the PJ-555, with the same hot pickups and aggressive tone.

    Like the title says, an A series Jazz Bass Special, medium scale. Basically a medium scale PJ with a precision neck and TBX tone control, two features that later JBS iterations lacked.

    All original except for a couple of screws and the TBX tone knob. The other two still have the elusive F caps intact.

    In good shape for such an old instrument. Biggest blemish is a chip around the jack, pictured.

    Comes with hilarious 80s-era brown leather gig bag.

    Price is in USD.

    I think 1.62 ... I also think it won't make it to Boulder because rosewood. But I could still measure to be sure!

    This shouldn't be here any more. Not for this price. I know the rosewood is a problem for 'Murica but do Canadians not know how awesome this is?

    Thanks man! I dunno! It seemed like there was a surge in interest in these a couple of years ago and now, nothing. They're so versatile and the medium scale neck is lightning.

    It's a long wait though, isn't it? The wheels of Canadian bureaucracy turn slowly.

    And I wonder if you need to know the address it's going to first. Or can you just apply for the certificate and keep it handy in the event you wish to ship across the border? I should probably look into it.

    I guess I would say if anyone is interested in the US let me know and I'll hold it for you while I apply for a CITES cert.
