Hello TB,

Here's something that I put together this as an experiment. What we have is a made in USA butternut body PJ bass with Padauk laminate top also a Maple neck with Paudak fretboard. 9 volt EMG electronics with a PJ Emg pups. Tru-Oil finished. Please examine the pictures.. Finish gives it a ala natural bare wood vibe. One noticeably nick also a triangle size nick at the headstock that I photograph. Bass is amazingly light just under 8lbs. Very clear sounding bass with round low end. A new set of Dean Markleys SR 2000's on it. Set up is around low medium. Wilkerson bridge, fender style tuners. Bone nut. Abalone oversized dots as fret markers as a custom order for the neck. The tuners are not screwed on if you wish to change them. Frets have no wear. All parts used to assembled where gathered here in the USA,

Thanks for looking and any questions I'll be happy to answer them.

Bump heres a description from a fellow TBer who had the bass in there pocession for a couple of months.

"Here we have a really nice, woody/clean/clear sounding P/J bass with 9v EMG's. This is an all-USA build. You can see the original thread HERE
This is the builder: Hilimire Guitars | Facebook

I had the tuners changed to cloverleaf type, smooth turning keys. This Bass has very low action with no dead spots or buzz. Knobs will be your choice of knurled Black or Gold as well as the strap pins. I will also include the nice Pearl top knobs if the deal is right.

Sounds like an powerful Ash/Maple/EMG bass. Cuts like butter, clean and clear. Plenty of classic tone as well as modern. Powerful pups! The Padauk fingerboard adds a nice growl w/the jazz pup and some grinding thump on the soloed P-pup. Just a perfecy lil P/J. Better than most P/J's I've ever played, including $1200 fenders, no bull... X So I won't be seriously disappointed if this bass sticks around a while. I would like to see what trade offers I can get, that's all.

Genuine 70's Fender Jazz logo with no clear over it so it can be removed if you prefer, but I like it. Fender Corona California neck plate also.
Frets are really Excellent with smooth edges and level playing.

The bass sounds incredibly clean and clear with no noise or issues that I know of. Only selling because I don't play it. Too wrapped up in my other basses. I'm just not a fender-type guy.

$500 shipped. Soft side Hard case or good Gig Bag. This is a great price folks, don't let the non-name build scare ya, she's a player! My loss is your gain...
Serious inquiries only. More pics upon request.
Trades? Run em by me, add or subtract $$. I'm open to anything.
