Columbus jazz bass - refurbed. £175 Wakefield

[mikegatward]

This was a Covid project for me and it began life as a very neglected Columbus jazz bass.

 

i stripped off the finish, refinished it in Lake placid blue, added MIM fender pickups and tuners. The bridge is from a friends spares box and I’ve no idea where the control plate came from. Rather than the usual fake fender decal, I went with a tokai one.

 

Bad bits - the finish on the rear of the body is pretty patchy. The front is ok but there are some ‘roadworn’ areas. It was my first attempt at a refinish but it looks great from the front.

 

Good bits - it’s really playable. The neck is really slim and fast. Reminds me of my MIJ Geddy.

 

Asking £175 for it. Collection preferred but we can sort something out if that’s not practical.

 

I’ve attached some before and after pics
