ovialexm1 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) I have for sale this incredible handmade Human Base Jonas 5 in very good condition. Top quality build and sound, a plesure to play. Now has setup a very low action. Controls are 3 knobs: 1st is Volum but also can be push/pull for pasive/active 2nd is pickup balance 3rd has 2 knobs stacked: first on top is high freq and the other on butom is low freq. Check price for a similar new bass at Siggi or at Thomann if you dare. 😉 The Human Base Jonas 5 is light, has 4.1 kg (your back will thank you for buying a light bass like this) and is very good balanced. 34 scale, Bartolini electronics, pasive/active (pull/push on volum knob), maple wings, birdseye maple neck, Purpleheart woodtop (very rare) with matching headstock, handmade by Masterluthier Siggi Jäger (Human Base). I am living just 20 km away from Siggi and know him personaly. He is a very nice and talented man and one of the best luthiers worldwide. The world of good boutique builders is smaler and smaller every day.... I just found out Mike Lull passed away. RiP.

HumblePie Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 FYI, this has a maple body, maple neck and an Amaranth (Purpleheart) top. This wood was purple when the bass was new and has now naturally faded because of exposure to UV light. https://www.wood-database.com/purpleheart/ This is what a Purpleheart Jonas looks like new: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
