tanuki Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) This is a fine Fender custom shop jazz bass I bought a few months back off fellow TBer Noisyjon. This really is an excellent example, pristine condition, great construction and pickups, quarter-sawn maple neck. A great range of sounds from the stacked knob controls. This bass feels and sounds great, lovely neck and feel.

Whoever picks up this bass will not be disappointed, the construction and sound are all top notch and the quarter-sawn neck feels amazing as well as being totally even in tone across the board. The sound is pure vintage jazz. The bass is pictured mostly with a Badass II installed but the original bridge is included, Noisyjon measured the height precisely so the two are interchangeable without any need for set-up or adjustment I’m not really looking for trades as such but will consider old precisions (with slimmer necks if possible) as well as high end precisions or P/J basses. The bass is available to view in Bristol or occasionally London with some pre-planning. Comes with case and all case candy intact.
