    ****Price Reduced Again,......to $825. SHIPPED in the lower 48.****
    NEW TRADE OPTIONS LISTED BELOW AS WELL

    I might also consider trades for a Tube head, or light weight 4X10 (+$)

    I am wanting a Birdsong shortscale REALLY badly, so here is my Old Candy Apple Red, NON Export, CIJ 75 Reissue with matching headstock, rosewood board, pearl block inlays, White Pearliod pickgaurd, White binding, and Nordstrand NJ4 pickups. This bass was owned by Dan Lutz and was played on the Tonight Show with Taylor Hicks. I will find the link and post it below. This thing plays awesome, and sounds even better. Punchy, Full, warm, tight. I am only selling this one because I allready have a 72 Jazz, and this is kind of a double of what I allready have.
    The only issues are some scratches, which are fairly deep into the clear coat. The worst of them is just below the upper horn, and just below the control plate. They are not into the wood. They dont show up as well in the pics, but they are there. Unless you are right up on it they are not that noticeable. The scratches were there when Dan had it. The only changes are that I added a Pearloid pickgaurd.
    Again, this is an AWESOME bass and I am truely going to regret selling it. The CIJ basses are FAR better than the MIJ basses by a long shot. This one is as nice ornicer than most of the USA basses I have played, and alot more stunning to look at, to play, and to hear. It will ship in a fender gig bag, along with the chrome pickup cover, and original white pickgaurd. I may have the bridge cover somewhere, but I don't know for sure, so lets say no, and then if I find it it will be a bonus. shipped in the lower 48.
    I will not ship overseas.

    Again, I am only selling this to fund a Birdsong, or an FBB shortscale, so no other trades. I would, however consider a Markbass 4x10 HF as partial trade. I will obviously add $ for a birdsong.

    Here is another picture with the chrome pickup cover and the original plain white pickgaurd which will be included. The green arrows point to the worst of the scuffs. I will post a few more later.

    It really is. I hate to sell her, but I have a daphney Blue 72 J, and I really really want to try a short scale Birdsong. I know I am going to regret it though.

    Hey man ... i'm interested in your bass .. Dan Lutz is a friend of mine & says it's a great axe.
    I sent you a PM earlier, but can't find it in my outbox.
    Could you let me know if you got it?
    Thanks.

    Price reduced to $850.
    Also, new trade options.

    FBB shortscale (fretted).
    I would also take as partial trade a Markbass 4X10HF as partial trades

    I played this on a gig last night and I am really questioning why I would even consider selling this. But, I REALLY want a Birdsong or an FBB shortscale.

    Bump for a SERIOUSLY cool axe...
    I had the exact same one but in Lake Placid Blue...I think the C.A.R. is even cooler than the blue. These are great basses with great build quality, someone grab this...If I was a righty this thing would be in my hands...

    I want one of these in CAR and one in the blue....that would pretty much settle all future bass needs ever.
