Thanks. It is really special, indeed. And best of all, it sounds great, too.

Right. If you look at the CS order sheet, you can check any upgrade you like- this one has block inlays, relic aging, matching headstock, but no binding ($160 upcharge).

I bought one of these years ago. An absolute beast, cuts through any mix, very responsive. Could not handle the 35", though.

This is great and would be right up my alley had I not bought a very similar Overwater not long ago.

I am withdrawing the ad, I will hang on to it a while longer. Thanks fpr all the kind comments

Being a New Standard, this is still a fine bass, I am sure. I had a lovely Fodera NYC that was very good (which is for sale at the Bass Club Paris, btw).

And I am in exactly the opposite position. Do you not fancy another OW5?

I am sorry, but no. I have very specific needs (33", 26 frets, narrow spacing). I have used J basses since I was with a Motown Tribute tour, but I am more focused on contemporary Jazz right now.

This is an absolute dream bass. The top is made of bookmatched buckeye burl (no longer availiable from Zon) with matching wooden knobs, body is made of swamp ash. This bass has the top tier electronics with 3-Band EQ and the 3-way mid frequency switch. This allows for the best tonal versatility among all the Zon preamps. I really like how you can get all the tones you need with the mid switch... really nice attack and punch for fingerstyle is dialed in as easily as a thick groovy tone or a cut of the annoying high mids for slapping.

The bass has a very sweet and clear tone and is suited to any gig or recording job. Very nice setup. Even tone all across the board, full B-string (with D-Tuner for the low A).

I am selling this outstanding bass because I have moved on to 33" scale basses.

Buckeye Burl is no longer availiable as far as I know, it was a $1000 upcharge. Minimum retail price would be at least $5000 including shipping plus 20% tax, so it comes to a total of $6000/£4900/5600€.

These are great- I own one myself. The neck is much like a J-Bass, tonewise this goes from 60s Motown to modern Rock, really great with flatwound strings (Thomastik).

These basses are very good. Playability is exceptional.
