Now £450! Quality Bitsa Jazz bass built around Fender USA '75 Reissue Neck £575 Shipped UK - *SOLD* £550 Lymington

[Studio GC]

Purchased this neck here on Basschat. It's a 3 Bolt USA Fender '75 reissue neck that dates from 2007.  Wonderful neck and has the fuller front to back feel that my original '70s jazz bass had. 

 

The body is American alder that I purchased unfinished and sprayed with a few light coats of cherry nitro paint from NW guitars. Not a perfect spray job and it has plenty of scuffs and will continue to wear nicely for a natural relic'd look. It's drilled for a 4 bolt neck pattern but I modified it for the 3 bolt micro tilt neck plate, so it's period correct for mid '70s. Note in photos, there's a nibble of wood taken out of the bridge pick up cavity (happened when I was drilling out the cabling hole for electronics).

 

The frets show plenty of wear, but are nice and beefy and I have zero issues with the fretwear using the Fender flatwounds (that will come with the bass).

 

Pickups and electrnics are EMG JHZ set that offer a vintage sound...with a modern feel. Here's the write up:

 

The JHZ Set offers passive bass tone and feel with the reliability and frequency range known to EMG. Our design uses stacked coils with ceramic and steel bar magnets for a traditional jazz bass sound with increased output, and low noise. The result is a tone that has tight mid-range punch, smooth high end, and a classic passive dynamic response. Whether you play fretted or fretless bass, live or in the studio, you'll get an incredibly full sound.

 

Also included are a set of Classic 60's Pick Ups, classic wiring harness and black scratch plate.

 

Weight is 9.3 pounds

 

Happy to ship the bass within UK or meet up within reason of Lymington (South Coast) or I'm in London weekly if you're near the Big Smoke.
