    I recently acquired this baby from JBiscuti.

    Incredible bass, but... credit card debt sucks and I need to free up some funds.

    The body comes from MJT Custom Aged Guitars and is a beautifuly salmon pink/coral/faded fiesta red finish. I believe it is swamp ash because it only weighs about 7.5 lbs. The neck, made by Musikraft, was made to '62 specs, so it has a gorgeous dark rosewood fingerboard, and 7.25" radius, and small vintage fretwire. Hipshot Ultralite tuners, no neck dive, very well balanced.

    Light relic job on the body and neck. I hate relic basses normally, but this thing looks amazing - perfectly natural looking - way better than what Fender offers.

    The pickup is from a Road Worn P, and the strings are Curt Mangans. When I got it, there was a loose wire, so I had it taken to my tech and cleaned up. It's dead quiet and thumps like a monster now. This pickup sounds AWESOME. The bridge, strap-buttons, and neck plate are Fender parts. The screws are actual vintage from an old Fender, and the knobs are genuine nickel. This bass will come shipped to you in a rectangular 1980s Fender hard shell case.

    $825 shipped - Paypal OK. Absolutely no trades on this one...need money! :help:
