MNY Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) I acquired this bass recently in a trade with Paul (The Bass Monkey), and it is without doubt the most exquisite I have owned. However I have decided that having something so good is not really sensible as I am not a bass player as such, and lovely though it is (and very easy to play) this stunning instrument is not going to get the use it deserves. I would prefer a straight sale but I am also happy to accept a lesser bass with cash my way. I am only really interested in Fender Jazz basses or similar. Please see the specs below and the replacement cost. There is only one of these basses in circulation as far as I am aware. As you can see the bass has had very little use. It was in immaculate condition when I received and it has been played by me for a few hours since. The action is medium and the bass sounds absolutely stunning, probably owing to the build quality which is frankly second to none, the excellent Nordstrand pickups and the wood choices. One of my own personal favourite features is the beautiful flamed roasted maple neck which gives the bass a very distinguished appearance. “Cobia V2 34 inch scale 21 fret Nickel silver frets One piece rippled ash body Roasted maple neck Rocklite fingerboard Nordstrand PJ blade pickups Passive electronics (vol, 4 way, tone) Hipshot kickass bridge Hipshot ultralite tuners Worn black / white finish Black / aluminium layered pickguard Aluminium control plate If that bass was ordered again today it would be in the £3000-£3500 range depending on the exact pieces of wood chosen.” Please drop me a line if you have any questions or if you want to hear how the bass sounds. I can send you a link to the Alpher site where there is a comprehensive video demonstrating the tonal qualities of the instrument. Thanks, Mark.

GLWTS Thanks for your comment. I hope so. It needs to be played and used by someone who can really do justice to it.
