Thanks for the comments guys 😊 This is a wonderful bass. I’m only selling it because I have a new build due in the next few months and moving this on half justifies it in my head 😕 As always the market will dictate the value, but this is a lot of bass for £500 😊 ... even if it is VERY Yellow!

Peterbuilt Jazz Bass - £500 Open to straight trades, happy to look at anything Cat not included... This is a built to order Jazz Bass assembled and finished by Peter Boer in Holland. Made in 2015. Allparts alder body and maple neck (ebony fretboard). The bass was originally fretless with passive stack knob controls, but I had it fretted at The Gallery and an East J- Retro preamp fitted. The bass sounds and plays wonderfully, with a large variety of tones from the preamp. Well balanced seated and standing. Currently strung with labella flats. The pickups are DiMarzio 123s. The Nitro finish has a couple of minor imperfections (no dings or scratches though) and the pickguard could have been trimmed a little tidier. Difficult to show in the photos but mentioning anyway for clarity... The only other point of note is that last time I changed the strings the nut fell out... It’s currently held in place by the string tension but could do with glueing back in. 38mm at the nut and weighing 10 1/2lb according to the bathroom scales. I will also include the original stack knob control plate (only for a pick up as it won’t fit in the case to ship) and a matching leather strap from couch straps. I have a Thomann tweed case for this as well (pics further down the thread). I’ve had issues with couriers before, so my strong preference is for a pick up from Walthamstow, London, E17 evenings or weekends. Can also meet at any London tube station for a handover / exchange.

Also I haven’t been on here in ages and have no idea why the text in my previous post is so enormous 😕

I can offer a little history to this. I came back to bass around 2012 after a long break and went through just about every type of instrument out there, trying to find something that gave me the sound I wanted in my head. The collection waxed and waned as I searched, getting into double figures at one point, then I bought this... Off the back of that I ordered my two custom Wal sixers which are the only basses I have owned since. When I collected my first one (2015) I had sold this to someone over in Germany. I took the bass to Paul when I picked mine up and he did a full service and returned the tuners to hipshot ultralights (the previous owner had some Gotoh ones on there). The bass was then shipped direct from Wal HQ in the case intended for my new one. I have the original case for this bass. It’s a full flightcase covered in stickers and it is so heavy it is of little practical use. If you’re into back injuries I would happily swap it back... On the bass itself, this instrument ended my quest for what I consider to be the perfect bass tone. It has all the growl, power and bell like clarity at the top end you will know about if your interested in this anyway. A wonderful instrument...
