Hutton Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) I am reluctantly selling my Jazz bass. This one is a bit special having been assembled and refinished by the excellent Dave Wilson. The original owner wanted a Jazz in the style of a 70s instrument and also to replicate one of Adam Claytons stage basses. The instrument was built with a "cost no object" remit. The specification is as follows:- Fender Japanese 62 Jazz Body refinished in a stunning aged gold by Dave Wilson. The neck is a new Japanese Fender maple block and black neck but with precision width. The 70s logo was applied by Dave Wilson. There is a 'tongue in cheek' Fender Custom Shop decal on the rear of the headstock although the quality of this instrument would certainly not be out of place in the Fender custom shop. The nut width using my digital calliper is 1.640". Pickups are Nordstrand NJ4SE / NJ4SV which are simply marvellous. Dual coils and absolutely silent. Tuners are Fender in the 70s style. Bridge is brand new Fender. Internals are all CTS / Switchcraft. Schaller strap buttons are fitted. Weight is 8lbs The bass comes with a Warwick 'snakeskin' hardcase with Fender logo applied. This is a very nice bass in unmarked condition and the asking price is well below the cost of the original build. I am asking £650 including delivery to the UK. Sorry, but I am not looking for trades.

loweringthetone Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) I don't normally go for custom builds, but in my humble opinion, this is utterly spectacular !

[/quote] As I'm not the original owner I don't really know. As it was from a 62 reissue my best bet would be sunburst. Sorry I can't be more specific.

In my opinion it just doesn't come under the 'bitsa' category. I'm nearly talking myself out of the sale but needs must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
