Hey Y'all,

My rate of churn has reached epic proportions, even for me. I sent off a bass I should have kept, held on to one I shouldn't and got in another that I shouldn't have (all things that have happened before). Sooooo, in an effort to try and calm things back down I'm selling two and looking for one with an eye towards ending the churn :eek: (and if you believe that, you don't know my history ;)). I'm ending the JB2 experimentation - great basses but not quite my thing. Repeat after me, SB2s are what works best for me. And Rumblefish PJs.

The Trib JB2 is a nice natural/rw one. Great condition with an added series/parallel control on a push/pull pot. What I consider medium weight at 9.0 lbs. It will ship in a G&L gig bag.

$450 shipped in the contiguous 48, paypal OK



The US JB2 is an amazing specimen. I just picked it up this week and it's incredible. Low action, sparkly blue metal flake finish, matching headstock, gun oil tint birdseye maple neck and light at 8.8 lbs (it feels like it might be a touch lighter IMO but I haven't weighed it myself yet). The pickups were swapped out for Nordstrand NJ4SE humbucking jazz pickups (the originals are included) and the strings are DR Low Riders. Hardshell case. It's beautiful, minty, plays and sounds great.

I have no pics of the US JB2 yet, check it out at: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=564905

I'd trade for a G&L SB2

musts:
- under 9 lbs
- 1.5" nut width
- 100% functional

wants:
- under 8.5 lbs (they are out there)
- satin neck
- great condition

nice to haves:
- maple board
- matching headstock


I'd swap the Trib JB2 straight up for a Trib SB2. I'd trade the US JB2 straight up for an equivalent US SB2 (matching headstock, maple board, cool finish, case, minty, lightweight).

I'd also trade the US JB2 straight up for a nice Rumblefish PJ.

Thanks!

I still haven't taken my own pictures but have linked in one from the other thread:

It's a sweet JB2 with some premium features (all that add cost):
- blue metal flake finish
- gun oil tinted gloss neck
- birdseye maple board
- matching headstock

and then there are the aftermarket Nordstrand NJ4SE pickups that a worth a penny or two

I forgot to mention in my first post that the original buyer requested swamp ash for the body - so that's what is (should be) under the sparkly finish.


International shipping may be possible on either - PM me with country for the additional shipping cost. International deals require prepayment via paypal in US dollars, I ship via USPS priority international connecting with your national postal service and the actual selling price/value on customs forms. There may be size and/or insurance limitations depending on the country which we can work with (ship in two pieces, etc.) as needed.
