A Maiden classic that needs no introduction, played with the Fender Precision American Performer. Up the Irons!

Hi,
tonight I decided to do a little comparison between two great bass preamps.
I've received the Trickfish Minnow today and I must say it's an amazing piece of gear.
The Radial thought remains an impressive preamp too.
The basses used were:
- Fbass Bn5 ash maple
- Fender Precision custom shop L series
Please be kind with my playing abilities
Which one did you like the most ?

Due to the Covid-19 situation and severe back problems (66% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 3 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale.
VANZANDT (VAN ZANDT) JBV-R1 Vintage Natural, Japanese craftsmanship at its best, a true Custom Shop.

New price is 308.000 JPY (with the 10% Japanese VAT) and they are not officially exported !
Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC.

Will come with a brand new Fame Soft-Case Urban.
Non-smoking environment as usual.
The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has been fitted with a set of Ernie Ball 2833 Hybrid Slinky strings (45 - 65 - 85 -105).
For those who don't know Vanzandt (Van Zandt) instruments, they are the equivalent of Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt instruments, if not better. The Japanese higher quality control and craftsmanship make all the difference here. It's a no flaw construction. This bass is, to me, better than all the official Fender 70's Jazz Basses I have played. Compared to a Celinder J-Update in passive mode, the sound is a bit clearer, but very similar. Thanks to the (more fragile) nitrocellulose lacquer, the overall feel is similar to a vintage original Fender. And this tone control is simply magic !

What you see is what you get !
Look at the photos taken at different angles and under different lights to see the real condition of this bass which shows little use and only very few slight marks or dings. The biggest "blemishes" being at the headstock and near the control plate on the edge of the body where the (very fragile) nitrocellulose finish has gone.
Here you can see the "blemishes" that I photographed alongside the 37 photos of this bass (the last photo showing Vanzandt full serial number in the neck pocket and the back of the heel's neck was taken by Régis aka @eneade ) : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KRjjhRGOfqWGq_PprTTB6UF-5EAAEYxO?usp=sharing
Don't hesitate to ask for more.

I have wanted to build this bass for a very long time. I couldn’t find someone to do the body. I could have, when I was working, done this myself but am now retired. I had access to more tools where I worked.
Some of the details will come out as they are done. But it will be as such:
Babinga/Babinga fretless neck (Freestone Guitars) Walnut Jazz body with heavy contours (Ray, a builder in California) Wired stereo and possibly stereo/mono Back routed for the controls. More to come on the controls... Tapped J PU’s being built by Tom Brantley Standard Fender machine heads Standard bent plate Fender bridge Dunlop strap locks Special PU positions Total estimated weight should be around 10 lbs.
More details to come.
