maut Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) EUR 2.500 / GBP 2133 The custom color is Walnut, or more commonly called Mocha. With the maple neck this bass looks like the Precision that Jonathan Hischke plays. The body has the deep and comfortable shaping of the 60s, it´s the same shaping as my 68 Precision. There is plenty of wear on the finish. The back of the pickups were covered with the typical melted sticky foam, I partly scratched it off to reveal the prints. The pickup codes are 1975, the codes on the pots 1974. The stamps with small letters on the end of neck are a bit faded, I can´t really make out the code. This one has the rare light weight alder body, the bass weighs only 3,8 kg. The other special thing is the slim maple neck. It´s 40mm at the nut which is a little wider than the "A" style Jazz Bass width but way more comfortable and faster then the usual P necks. The frets have lots of life, it plays with low action, the neck is straight and the trussrod works as it should. There´s a dent on one side near the fretboard between 11th and 12th fret. This doesn´t effect the playability, it´s not noticeable when I play the bass in this area. The back of the neck is almost perfect, no dents or scratches there. Here are some audio files. It´s the pure bass, no EQ, no amp, the strings are used. I just added a little compression on the sum. https://instaud.io/3ukn https://instaud.io/3uko https://instaud.io/3ukp https://instaud.io/3ukq I´m in Germany, international shipping is no problem.

boroman Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 do you accept trades too? I have some vintage Ampeg gear...
maut Posted February 26, 2019 Author Posted February 26, 2019 Hi boroman, thanks for the offer, but I´m not interested in trades at this point. The only thing I´m interested in is an old Höfner Club bass. 🙂
maut Posted February 28, 2019 Author Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Yes... not everyone likes this finish, but it´s a fine example of the taste and vibe of the 70´s! 🧔 Edited March 14, 2019 by maut
