    SOLD

    One of the most beautiful basses I've ever put together. Body and neck are Warmoth. Gorgeous pau ferro top laminate over mahogany Warmoth Dinky Jazz body. Some minor dings and scratches from hardware changes. Never gigged. It hurts me to put this up for sale but it's just extraneous in my collection. I do not have any pots or electronics for it. Just the pickups and bridge. Nothing is wired or grounded.

    Full disclosure: now that the Babicz bridge is off, and sold, I noticed some finish cracking around the bridge screw holes. This will be covered up by any bridge you put on it, so it should not be an issue as it is cosmetic only. There are also numerous scratches but most are UNDER where the bridge was... a few outside of it but they're hairline and small and finish only. Might even be able to be buffed out if you've got the ability to do so (I do not.) The faint outline of the words "MADE IN TAIWAN" from the underside of the Babicz bridge are now somehow imprinted in the clearcoat where the bridge was. Kinda funny actually. Again, will be covered up by any new bridge you put on it (I recommend another Babicz :D)

    Prices include shipping to the lower 48 contiguous United States. No trades. Open to cash offers.

    Empty mahogany/pau ferro body body - $250 shipped

    [DEL]Babicz Full Contact Hardware bridge - $75 shipped[/DEL] Sold.

    Jazz pickup set (from a USA-made Hwy One Fender) - $40 shipped

    Here are some pictures of the body with the Babicz bridge and Hwy One pickups... I found a couple TINY flaws - a very small ding on the upper horn and some scratches around the bridge from changing it out a few times... VERY hard to capture in photos:

    Is this a Standard or Dinky?

    I couldn't quite read the weight in the neck pocket.

    I know it's sold, but I'm curious. Did this body have a "football" input jack?
