Bass Collection Fretless Blockhead Jazz Bass £350 plus postage £350 Chipping Norton

[songofthewind]

This is a fine, almost mint example of one of these basses. I believe there are not many of these about. I succumbed to the temptation a couple of years ago, but I have no real use for this lovely thing.

 

I can only find one tiny ding, on the rear lower bout. Otherwise perfect. And shiny shiny gold, with a nice dark fingerboard, and matching headstock. 

It plays very nicely, with all the fretless jazz sounds one might expect.

Plus, it looks amazing. Yes, I am shallow. So bite me.

 

My travel scales say it weighs 4kg bang on, so quite light I think. Nut width is 38.6mm, last fret is 64.4mm.

 

This is not a fretless conversion: it started life as a fretless in the factory. Side dots are on the fret positions.

It comes with a decent Bass Collection padded bag, with shoulder straps etc.

 

£350 to you, guvnor. I will post very reluctantly, at additional cost, or I will meet within a reasonable distance. Or you can collect.

 

I'm sure I must have forgotten something, so ask me if you want more info.

I can include a John East J-Tone 01 preamp with is bass, if that piques anyone’s interest. 
The preamp is only partly functional, since I managed to snap off the brass stem of the treble control. Since I only used the J-Tone to boost the bass, this was not a problem for me. To be able to use the bridge pickup with a good degree of bass boost was a revelation. If you’re interested, let me know. No increase in price for the inclusion of the preamp.
