Beautiful Custom-Built Jazz/Precision Bass – *Price Drop* Now £600 £800 Trowbridge

[Muzomatt]

Price drop £600

 

For sale: my dream bass, built with no expense spared, using only the finest components.

This was my exclusive bass for around three years, including on a full UK tour with EXTC — featuring Terry Chambers, original drummer of XTC.

Specs:

Neck: Beautiful quartersawn flame roasted maple Jazz bass neck, oil-finished with a rosewood fingerboard — hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds (Oxfordshire)

 

Body: Alder, metallic grey finish — also hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds

 

Pickups: Hand-wound by Jamie at The Creamery (Manchester) — custom 1960-spec Jazz Bass and 1958-spec Precision Bass pickups- passive.

 

Bridge: Babicz Full Contact Bridge

 

Electronics: John East Uni-Pre (customisable, 3-knob pickup controls)

 

Tuners: Hipshot lightweight tuners- with d tuner on E string

 

Assembly: Professionally built to the highest standard

 

Condition:Good- some scratches and dinks from regular use — see photos or ask for more details. I upgraded the tuners to Hipshots so there are some small holes left from the previous tuners.  Includes a finger ramp (easily removable  – attached with double-sided tape).

 

Sound:Massive tonal flexibility, amazing clarity and depth — from deep vintage warmth to tight, modern punch. A truly powerful, versatile bass that suits any genre.

Reason for Sale:

 

Only selling as I've now moved permanently to short-scale basses, and this is no longer getting the use it deserves.

Price: £600  (sensible offers considered)  Cost  about £1500 to put together.

 

Collection preferred. Happy to send more photos, recordings, or arrange a try-out for serious buyers.

If not sold before, maybe bring it along to the SW bass bash on 12 Oct down near Taunton (check it out in the events section). I'm sure there would be a lot of interest in it.
