samuelcroberts Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Xotic XJ-1T 5-string for sale. It's a beautiful instrument, but having owned it for just over a year or so, I don't think it's quite the one for me... In perfect condition other than a very small scratch in the finish on the rear of the body, a little ding on the treble side of the headstock and some wear on the wooden bridge pickup cover from general use (all pictured below). All the specs can be seen in the photo below of the spec sheet from Xotic - only things that aren't listed are that it's 34" scale and the position dots on the fingerboard are luminlay glow-in-the-dark. The beautiful champagne gold sparkle finish doesn't quite come across in the photos either - it's rather lovely! I have the original gig bag and all the case bits, apart from the 2 allen keys that came with it. As usual, they have vanished into a tin never to be seen again, but are standard size. Currently strung for E-C tuning with DR Pure Blues. Looking for £1500 ono and based in Birmingham/Smethwick if anyone wants to come and give it a blast. I would consider shipping at the buyers expensive if insured etc., but would prefer collection or meeting up somewhere etc.. I do not have a hard case for shipping this, so collection definitely prefererable. Possibly interested in trades for a nice fretless 4/5 string or 24 fret 4-strings - try me (no 35" scale please)! If I've missed anything, do ask and I'll get back to you asap. Thanks for looking! Edited Tuesday at 13:08 by samuelcroberts 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really surprised this is still here, especially at such a reasonable price point. GLWTS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelcroberts Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Cheers guys. Yes, the Xotic basses are really lovely. Only reason I'm selling really is due to not really using the 5-string much anymore and not quite gelling with it etc.. I seem to be the sort of person that either keeps something forever, or sells it on within 18 months! Haha! Stephen - your 4-string Xotic is really nice as well. GLWTS on that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelcroberts Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Still open to offers on this, but if it's still here at the end of April I'm going to take it down to Bass Direct. If anyone was interested, but uncertain about buying via BC, send me a message and I'll happily let you know when it's with Bass Direct 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
