Steff Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, Selling my KSD ProtoJ5 due to buying another one in natural finish which I prefer. If you know these - then you know how rare and sought after they are, especially for gospel music and it has a slap tone to die for. If you don’t - google them 🙂. I brought this one to Charlie Chandler’s guitars earlier this year to have a PLEK done (for those who don’t know it is a computer controlled machine that levels the frets down to a micron) worth £140 - I believe I still have the receipt for that. I’ve also installed Aguilar 5J-HC pickups (£300 retail price) but I will supply the original ones too. The bass is in a very good condition, couple of small marks. I also had to route the pickup beds to accommodate the slightly larger AG’s. This is visible if you look for it, in other words if you hang it on your bedroom wall you’ll see it, if you are playing it - you won’t. Here’s a video of the great LA session bassist Melvin Davis playing one of these on the Lee Ritenour tour https://youtu.be/4ceQ0VypjS8 Here’s a video of this particular bass played by me - https://instagram.com/p/BeqzCLfAvdT/ The strings action is very low and comfortable, neck feels like butter. I am based in west London but I often travel for gigs around the U.K. so meeting shouldn’t be a problem. Will consider trades for a 5str Lakland P or PJ.

therealting Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Is it 34” scale, Stefan? Weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 23 minutes ago, therealting said: Is it 34” scale, Stefan? Weight? As far as I know all 5str KSD basses are 35” scale mate. Weight is about 4.6 kg on my scales which is light for a KSD - my other one is 5.2kg 😲 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
