Bit of a weird one this, but handy if you need to get a 5 string past a very conservative band. It's a bitsa jazz bass with a Wilkinson 5 string conversion bridge/string tree. That puts 5 strings onto a 4 string Precision neck, with an extra tuner at the bridge and an anchor in the string tree.

I assume none of the parts are genuine Fender items, despite the decal. Tuners are also Wilkinsons. Pickups are EMGs -- hard to see in pictures but you can just about make out the logos. Rail types so no issues with misaligned pole-pieces.

Body is a bit beaten up, and the replacement bridge doesn't quite cover the original screw holes. Pickguard seems to have been drilled in some random places for pickup covers, but purely cosmetic.

Frets are a bit worn so I can't get the action quite as low as I'd like but it plays nicely. Spacing is tight but pretty similar to a 6 or 7 string bass. I'm really not a fan of the Precision neck profile though so it's not getting played at the moment.

String B-G with light gauge Elixirs, and sounds like a jazz bass should.

Can look into postage if required -- probably about £25

Then I zoomed in and read the lines, haha!  Tricky!! Never seem it before..
