blunderthumbs Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) It is with a heavy heart that I am parting company with this custom made Musicman sterling black onyx number 132 of 150. It comes with it's original Musicman case, all the candy and certificate of authenticity.(ONLY 150 OF THESE WHERE EVER MADE WORLDWIDE !!!) It can only be described as mint with no bucklerash, dings or scratches. If I'm being picky there are the usual fingernail scratches on the pickguard but after all that is what it is there for so I would give it 9/10 I am letting her go because after playing a Fender Jazz for the best part of 17 years I cannot find a bass that suits me better. I'm asking £1200 FIRM... for her but might be interested in trading for another USA jazz preferably with maple fretboard. Enjoy the pics. Full spec in link below. If this doesn't sell for the asking price I wll be keeping it.

Agree on the modern MMs, especially the customs, had a 30th Anni Ray for a while and the build quality was sublime.
