    No offense but I prefer 19-20mm spacing on any bass.

    BUMP! Make me an offer I won't refuse... as I couldn't couldn't resist buying back another beloved old bass of mine.....cash is king!

    So much love received including decent and less decent offers, but the AJ5 is still here desperately waiting to be loved by someone who appreciates the value of a Fodera rather than being interested but saying they are overrated at the same time... It is like wanting a Bugatti for the price of a BMW... Great cars, BMW's but no Bugatti..😉

    Hi Vittoriosciascia, thanks for your interest and proposal but sorry, I'm not interested in a Laurus SL20.

    Hello Auslander, scale is 35inch (what the 'reach' is concerned the playability is like a regular 34incher, really). I have no soundclips off the shelf but I am more than willing to record and share some if you are interested. The bass sounds awesome, a fat, full sound with a authority. Ofcousre a lot depends on strings, amplification and... your hands!

    Alleva with Maple board, so that's LM I guess... Ken Smith BT6 Ebony top (if not crazy heavy...)Does it have 18mm or 19mm string spacing?

    It was kind of an acquired taste for me too but this shape is very comfortable, both sitting and standing up.

    Selling or trading my beautiful Fodera AJ5 Elite built in 2003: alder body, 3 piece maple neck, walnut crotch top, dark ebony board, abalone inlays, +/-19mm, about 4300 grams, well balanced etc. Played but optically in great condition (there is one little spot caused by a loose straplock in the OHSC, I have more pics to show this) and technically 100%. The bass has been fitted with Bartolini dual coils. It is done very professionally with pieces of ebony at the sides to compensate for the less wide pick ups. This is fully reversable so if desired Duncans could be ordered at Fodera and put back in. With the Barts the AJ5 sounds full, fat and with strong low mids: all with grace and authority. Very ‘AJ’ I would say. Some video demo’s are available on request. PM for more info. Cash preferred. For trade I would consider 5 string Alleva Coppolo or Sadowsky most preferably with a maple board. I might also consider Alembic series I/II or a 6 string Fodera (AJ6?) or a great Fender Jazz fretless or Fender vintage Jazz or P.

    Has the nut been adjusted to the different height of the frets compared to fretless?
  17. will4bass
    Ok: clear!

    Hi Mojo, never regret and look forward is my motto. Then again: I’m a player, no collectir and I have too many great basses, all of them I bought or traded with my heart (and some money). I feel blessed to have the luxury to let go of such a beautiful instrument.

    Much love received but still for sale!

    Wooden shoes, windmills... many Japanese companies.... The BB2000 and me are located in The Netherlands in a city called Hilversum.

    Hi Emilibass, the weight is approx. 4300 grams which means it's quite a light one. Balance etc is perfect a (to me even more important).

    In 1964 The Beatles sang 'Money can't buy me love'. How wrong could they be.... 😉 Excellent Fender Jazz Bass Custom Shop '64: plays like butter sounds like a Jazz Bass from '64 should. Quite light (3800 grams on my kitchenscale) and well balanced. Comes with original case and candy. Hardly played, fantastic condition. Check around: this is about the best price you can find for this bass in this condition.

    Fantastic Yamaha BB2000 built in Japan in 1982. The time when they killed Fenders like Eurovision kills music. Everything works perfect, immaculate condition, just a few scratches at the bottom of the body. Including OHSC in great condition too. These basses tend to be quite heavy, this one is relatively light with 4300 grams on my kitchen scale, and even more important: very well balanced. The Yamaha BB2000 was the main bass in the eighties for players like Tetsuo Sakurai (Casiopea) and Michael Anthony (Van Halen) which shows the versatility apart from the great playability, built quality and sound as such. A BB2000 is quite a different beast than the more common BB1000 or BB300/BB400 and certainly a different class than the BB’s built outside Japan like Taiwan etc. It’s hard to explain but compared with a BB1000 the P-sound is fuller/tighter, the J- bridge sound is more like a fantastic JB but with a very nice addictive punchy charachter, the PJ sound is much more like a fat JB than a PJ. This bass could be a collectors item considering the condition and relative rareness. It won’t lose value! For the ones are who are unfamiliar with these old BB-series: the BB2000 is nothing like Yamaha has been or is making, no offense, because Yamaha builds good and solid instruments. I have too many great basses so I got to sell which means killing darlings... or should I say geisha’s?

    This Tino has quite a few 'extra's' which makes sense since this exact bass was used for demonstration purposes. Light chambered alder body, vintage white nitro finish, nice Madagascar fretboard, well balanced, graphite reïnforced neck, mother of pearl inlays, hip shot ultra light tuners, Aguilar single coils with OBP-1 pre amp, passive tone control, low action etc. Weight 3,8 kg (kitchenscale). Width of the nut 4,8 cms String spacing at the bridge is 19 mm (I believe all Tino's have a) scale of 34,5" Comes with a generic gig bag (good condition) Frets are like new. No visible/noticeable wear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9aXmB6Ks-8 (This is the exact bass, not just a similar one) Trades considered (Ken Smith 6 string, Fender P '70, Sadowsky P/J maple fretboard, Jaydee, Ashley Pangborn, Alleva Coppolo, ..)
