NBD! Again!

[MoeTown1986]

Got an 4 string American Jazz Standard in Candy Cola last week out of a trade. I liked it so much I wanted another 4 string jazz. Started hunting around, found one on FB Market for $445. Talked to the guy a bit and he eventually just said “make and offer. I’m done with music and want it gone.” I said $250, thinking he’d counter and we’d meet in the middle. Instead, he responded “come get it.” Came with a tweed case, hipshot bridge, hipshot d-tuner, and TI flats! Score!

wow I'm not a Jazz guy at all...even I would have jumped on that for $250.00...Congrats nice score

Yum. Very good.

Yes, he certainly wanted to get rid of it at that price.

The case would be worth half that!

Haha right? The bridge, d-tuner, and strings almost cost that!

Not gonna lie, I like it a LOT. I do all my own setups and most setups for people in my area. The guy who owned this knew his stuff. Had a tusq nut which he filed and the bridge and neck were set perfect. Intonation was perfect. Super low action.

Hahaha yup! Paid for some hardware and strings. Came with a bass!

The bass on the left is my NBD from last week. I like how they’re complete opposite color schemes.
