Man, I'm so happy! Just got a great bass that I didn't plan to buy, but I'm glad I did.
Some background story on this. JMS (Junk Music Store) is a small company here in Portugal that deals with used and reconstructed instruments. They offer repair, setups, modifications and luthery services.
They build basses from used parts, upgrade a lot of stuff and sell them for really affordable prices.
Some time ago, I saw this bass on their website and I really liked it but didn't push the button because I wasn't planning on getting it, although I felt tempted. I always liked the Precision Telecaster models with the single coil pickup because of the looks and the story behind it.
Well, yesterday I saw this same bass for sale at a facebook group and I messaged the seller. We spoke and he made a great price and I made the buy. And just got this beautifull new bass for 240 euros!!! I mean, it has nitro finish, seymour duncan pickup, has a piezo pickup that you can solo or blend it with the single coil using a 3 way switch, high mass bridge, gold hardware, maple fingerboard.
My brother has this because he lives in Lisbon and he met with the seller to pick up the bass, but I don't know if I can have it this weekend or if I'll have to wait for a couple of weeks for him to came to our hometown. He said that the bass is in great shape. I can't wait to have it in my hands.
Here are the full specs:
Color: Sunburst
Body Material: Alder
Body Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer
Fretboard: Canadian Maple
Neck Material: Maple
String Nut: Synthetic Bone
Pickup Seymour Duncan
Number of Frets: 20
Tuning Machines: Vintage-Style
Neck Plate: Standard 4 Bolt
Controls: Volume, Tone, 3 way switch
Pickguard: 3-Ply vintage black
Bridge: Hi-Mass 4-Saddle bass + Piezo
Here are the pics. I took them from the store website and from the seller's ad. I'll update further with pictures when I finally get the bass.
