Custom Jazz Bass (audio demo included) Price Drop £1100 Trowbridge

[Muzomatt]

****Price drop to £900-  but open to sensible offers*******

 

Really beautiful bass but sadly I've moved exclusively to short scale basses so just not getting used.

 

Custom Jazz Bass. The neck is from an American Elite Jazz bass- about 7 years old. Really beautiful neck which I used as the basis for this bass. The body is made from ash, is custom made to fit the neck exactly by https://www.guitarandbassbuilds.com. The pickups are nordstrand np5 from bassdirect,  preamp is an East Uni Pre, all professionally set up. Plays and sounds great - really beautiful professional quality bass.

 

String spacing at the nut is standard 42mm,  weight (on my scales) is 9lb 12oz or 4.44kg.

 

Please do come and try before you buy- I'm in Trowbridge - near Bath.

Thanks Beedster. It's a precision style body but the neck is from a jazz bass - perhaps its a Pazz?  or Jrecision 😛

Yep you're right- it's a compound neck.  Thanks

I have an Elite J and it is wonderful…beautiful neck, but that body is big! Is this a standard size P? Someone is going to love this bass and I often think the Sadowsky’s always have that more comfortable feel with the slightly smaller body. I’ve toyed with the idea of having a Deluxe Jazz sized body made for the neck, because the Elite is that good. With the excellent truss road adjustment (that Musicman complained about and stopped Fender), those necks are the pinnacle of Fender’s design IMO. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks  fabbabass! Body is a standard P bass size and a fair bit smaller than the original Jazz bass body that it was attached to tbh- maybe the pics don't show that. I agree - the neck is beautiful and that's why I wanted to build my own bass around it... It's a bass for someone out there....
