daveski Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) I'm selling this Bravewood Jazz bass, this was built for me in 2002 when Bravewood still took orders, i played it extensively for 3 years but for the last 4 it has had very few airings and i play fretless so rarely it's a waste to keep it. It's great to play and was based on Pastorius's jazz had he lived and played it for another 25 years. I know lots of people hate reliced basses, but i quite like them and when this was made i thought 'in for a penny' etc. I'm asking £900 for the bass, someone also told me Bravewood no longer takes orders so i don't know if these are even made anymore. cheers Dave Edited May 27, 2009 by daveski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for getting a fretted one, i don't think anyone whos ever owned a Bravewood has been disappointed , you really should, they really are fantastic and if this was fretted i wouldn't be selling it, actually as i have have not had any interest maybe i should just get it fretted then it would get some use!

leloupa Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Bump ! I like it ! ..And if i dont give it a bump this bass gets fretted.. That means it isn't for sale any longer, that means no desperate price adjustments, that means i can't buy it for a better price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokl Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I have the bass John built just after this one (and it's almost the same!), and I can tell you that it's a fantastic bass. The level of attention to detail on Bravewood guitars is something else, and the build quality is superb. I believe that this also has an epoxy coated board like mine? It makes a big difference to the tone. Can't believe you're selling it, but good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveski Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 This Bravewood has now been traded for Margus's Status Series 2 and is winging it's way to Tallinn in Estonia, i'm sort of sad to see her go as she is a great bass, but please don't sob for me guys as i have a Fender Jaco tribute fretless which is also superb and will put a smile on my face from time to time. Thanks for all the interest and trade offers, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margusalviste Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I got the Bravewood today and all I can say is - WOW! What a great fretless it is! One of the best I've tried if not the best one. Extremely resonant wood and an exact replica of a 62 Jazz bass. Amazing craftmanship. It actually plays and sounds much better than my original 69 Jazz I sold recently. Can you imagine?!
