[url="http://cid-3e3944535eaeadd4.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/BTB%20-%20JP?authkey=b0ZciyuiHCE%24"]PICTURES[/url] JP basse Zia 5 walnut So I would like to trade it for high end 4 string basses in the same range of price (nice Jazz a plus actually / Sadowsky / Skjold / Celinder / etc...) Part exchange is possible. [EDIT : removed all post concerning the BTB] Edited April 25, 2009 by flychris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi Chris, Might be an idea to give an approximate value for your same range in price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flychris Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) yeah sure, I forgot to paste it.... I can mention the price new for this one : JP Zia 5 : 3300 £ specifications : - Rare Highly Figured Walnut top on a spanish cedar body (with maple laminate insert in between) - Hipshot bridge - Custom JP bass pickups (made by Aaron Armstrong (Kent Armstrong's son) - John East BTB preamp (active / passive by push pull on volume ; 4 position knob fo neck / series / parallel / bridge ; bass ; mid ; treble with bright swith by pulling it) - Ebony knobs with "plain real silver" dots - Macassar Ebony fretboard - One piece wenge neck with specific 2 way truss road and "plain real silver" dots inlay on the side of the neck - Hipshot ultralite tuners - Secure neutrick jack lock That could give you an idea...

jmanfunk Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 That JP looks formidable! Dare I ask the scale length and string spacing please? Also, more pics would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flychris Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) Pics added in first post for infos : 19 mm string spacing 34" scale on the JP . The Zia is coming in an "Aluminium" hardshell case ... travel will be secured like that ... (and the HC with newspapers around then in a big cardboard box... no risk like that !)

flychris Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 For people asking why I want to trade the JP and the BTB, it's very simple ... I don't need a 5 stringer at all (except for a graphite necked one where I can accept again it ) And as JP has left the Job now and I will not have anymore the chance to have a BTB custom 4, I think it's more suitable to trade than to try to replace them by the same new ones with only 4 strings.

molan Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 [quote name='flychris' post='422243' date='Mar 1 2009, 10:27 AM']Nothing completly done for the JP for the moment, so here the link for he pictures. [size=3][color="#4169E1"][url="http://cid-3e3944535eaeadd4.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/BTB%20-%20JP?authkey=b0ZciyuiHCE%24"]Pictures[/url][/color][/size] tell me if the link works or not...[/quote] Working Ok for me Chris Pics of the BTB are clearer than the Zia though - maybe because of the dark woods & the stripey background. Still looks quite funky though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flychris Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks a lot molan for the feeback ! The stripey background is my bed ... and yes the darker wood on the Zia makes darker pictures. I didn't modify them in photoshop to make them clearer and I think we can see how this higly figured walnut is like that. a kind of mix between flammed in two directions and other figures ...

flychris Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) No news from the guy who wanted a lot the JP... (and sorry to other guys I said the bass was reserved for someone else ) For people asking, you could find a lot of informations on JPbasses on Talkbass So here back on the front Edited March 20, 2009 by flychris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
