The 7lbs(ISH) jazz bass strikes back.
£325
Leeds

So I'm going to try again to let go of this bitsa jazz bass. 

 

It's so light at just 7lb3oz that's it's always a joy to sling over your shoulder. 

It's easy to play and balances well thanks to the hipshot ultralight tuners.

 

It currently has an East retro 01 preamp fitted to it and if you wanted it with this it would be £325, but if you prefer the passive control plate I can switch it for that and it's £200.

 

All the gritty details of the build are listed under 'The Amazing Seven-Pound (7lb) Jazz!' on basschat from 2020. Just put that title into Google and you'll get the page. IMG_20250331_175726709.thumb.jpg.0fc7529999f31598b55a94b9629b57b0.jpg

 

It features Entwhistle pickups, ceramic at the neck and neo at the bridge, a gotoh bridge and hipshot machine heads. 

 

Collection from Meanwood Leeds.

Knice knobs!
 

Joking apart, itsa lovely-looking bass, and 7lb is not to be sniffed at.

 

What’s the purpose of the (presumably) copper strip between the bridge and bridge pickup?

It's just a different way to earth the bridge:
