I recently got this from molan (it was previously owned by lozbass, a man of impeccable bass taste too! Loz' photos below, if thats OK Loz) and it is quite the most beautiful Jazz I have ever seen or played and in immaculate condition. It was the last one fully hand-made by Vinnie Coppolo and team in his NYC workshop (numbered 48 on the neck plate) before he moved to California and introduced CNC machines etc. Nitro 3TS finish, weighs 9.74 pounds, has a comfortable B width (1.625) width neck (its not a skinny J neck), and a beautiful dark chocolate-y dalbergia negra rosewood board (DN is a rare rosewood, stocks of which are no longer available, so I am told). It plays very slickly with very low action (ask the previous owners or Happy Jack, who played it yesterday) and has a huge range of tones from fully passive Jazz through to various active tones (controls are V/V/T, treble boost, bass boost; the second V control pulls up for passive mode). Comes protected in a Hiscox case.
Reason for selling: I have re-appraised what I need in basses (again and am going the traditionalist route) and I really want a year-of-birth (1963) Fender Precision, in Olympic white or 3 colour sunburst, and this sale will hopefully fund that (or at least most of it)
I am after £2850 - which is the trade value molan and I agreed - or of course a trade against a '63P in oly white (long shot!). BTW, I will be travelling a lot on business this week and next so may not always be able to answer PMs quickly. Would prefer to hand over in person but will ship (given my travelling I will not always be around to package it up immediately).
