ziggydolphinboy Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi All, Up for sale is my lovely jazz custom five. its a very close copy of basses called Expats! ( El Rick) Balkan flamed maple top and head , Ash Back really nice indian ebony board, mahogany strigners Hipshot hardware Agiular 3 band ( mid swicth)plus passive /active plus passive tone. 18 volt. awesome block inlays (best ive ever had) Zero fret hard case. I recently took to the gallery for set up , new strings, new jack socket, and a real good fret stone , as well as a overhaul on the truss rod. The truth here is i have a sei flam 5 and a wood and tronics 5 and this baby just dont get played . think the hardware alone and repairs come to over £500.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggydolphinboy Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thank u guys, yup i took a chance on this one and it is awesome , but my sei and wood and tronics get played more than this so she has to go :-(, i am open to offers on this bass :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 A lovely thing. What's the string spacing at the bridge, scale length and approximate weight please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggydolphinboy Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 It is lovely just done the measurements, the neck is lovely its real darkly veined ebony(indian) so its black with real dark grain in it,graphite nut, the top is maple/olive wood looking, then mahogany strip separating the ash back, electrics cover cut out of the ash too, the b is strung through the body ( nice touch). weight 4.9kg/10 3/4 lb string space 19mm (at bridge and adjustable) scale length 35 inches from 0 fret to Back of bridge (24 frets) nut width at 0 fret 46mm at end of neck 70mm any other questions just ask. when you look at the elrick early expat jazz basses this is very very close , but i think better as the price is half what youd pay, and i think the pick ups and electrics are better set out on this one. i will miss the bass im sure.

Higgie Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I've played this bass and it is awesome. I'd also like to mention the lower cutaway on this bass is beautiful, the only bass I've ever played that lets you play the full range of the fretboard both effortlessly and comfortably. Whoever buys this bass is getting an absolute bargain at this price. Really is up there with the other "Super" Jazzes that cost more. I'd have bitten Ziggy's arm off for it if I had the cash!

[/quote] Having a " name" is clearly an issue to some! buyers seem to have become more fickle recently, odd patterns on here & ebay? My potential trades have "names" albiet more old skool and a notch or two below the calibre of top end Basses that show up here! I'll pm you dude!
