Sold to the man with the dark heart.

Gosh, that is truly lovely. Are they stock pickups? The pole pieces seem quite dark or is that a trick of the light?

Yeah, took it in the evening and had to take the flash off because of glare. Looks like there's some interest but have updated pictures, anyway.

Bought it from the US on eBay a month or so ago. Here's the text from the original ebay auction details "This auction is for one Used Custom Jazz Bass Loaded Body, Light Weight, High Quality, Replacement 2012/2013 Paulownia Solid Wood Body, Cherry Burst, in excellent condition, a couple of light short scratches on the back of the body. They would not show up in photo after photo, but, they are there. Weighs as shown 3 pounds 12.75 ounces. I used Fender Squire Standard pickups, controls & misc. hardware, except for the pickup guard and control knobs which are Fender Squier Vintage Modified. Paulownia is a light weight, warp free, wood also used to make surf boards; because of its strength, the surf boards do not need the fiber glass outer strength layer. Neck Pocket 2 7/16 inch wide, 3 1/16 long, & 11/16 deep." I've measured the neck pocket and at its widest point it's 63mm and 18.5mm deep. When I first held it, it felt like I was holding a big bit of Styrofoam, it's so light. The pictures don't do it justice; it's lovely looking. As for condition I've managed to put a couple of small scratches on the back while trying to mounting the neck (also for sale). Also a tiny amount of damage to one of the neck screw holes which is completely hidden by a neck plate and has no effect whatsoever. Have neither the skill nor inclination to complete this project. Although it cost me £150 to get it here, realistically I'd like [b]£120[/b] for it fully loaded, [b]£100[/b] for just the body. [b]Prices include postage[/b]. The bits are worth more than the difference but it's agg to strip them out and sell individually. Feel free to make me a reasonable offer. As for trades or P/X, I'm after a lightweight jazz bass. Around 8lbs, less would be nice. Doesn't have to be anything fancy.

Just how light is it?

I've had a go at mounting this in a body but I have neither the skill nor the patience for it, as you'll see by the pig's ear I've made of it. It's actually not a bad neck, though not particularly light weight. Not especially heavy either. I've had a couple of goes, as you can see from the multiple holes, so you may or may not need to drill them out and fill them. The screws provided will fit snugly in a set of the holes, should your neck line up with them. The bass of the neck is filed down (both sides) to fit a 63mm neck pocket but the fretboard is not, so will not look odd if it's fitted to a slightly bigger neck pocket. The machine heads, string tee and neck plate/screws are included. [s]£45[/s] £30 inc. delivery or very near offer. As for trades, I'd only be interested in a complete and very light-weight jazz bass. Around 8lbs only, please.

And Replied.

Bought these very recently from the bass doc but turns out the back plates are just a bit too big for the headstock I wanted to put them on and the last two slightly 'peeked' over the top. Got smaller ones that don't. These are great quality machine heads with a traditional solid shaft, instead of concave. Open gear with the wilkinson logo stamped on the back. Not much else to say other than I'll also include the bushings and mounting scews. Want what I paid for them, which was £12 delivered. Pay by bank transfer or paypal gift.

Aaargh! Gave up waiting for one of these a couple of weeks ago and pushed the button on a BF Big Twin. Typical!

Considering trades? PM me if you are.

If it falls through, please let me know. Been looking for one of these for ages and keep missing out when they come up for sale here.

How frustrating! Exactly what I'm after but wrong impedance. Have bump on me.
