drums1977

Been playing her today and it's got THE tone.

Lots of interest but still here.

For sale this very rare Fender Custom Shop Bass VI in New Old Stock Sunburst finish. Manufactured in 2008, it belongs to the Time Machine Series. Only a few dozens of these were made, and they are considered the best Bass VI Fender has made since the early 60s. I used to own an original 1962 Bass VI and this one feels and sounds as good as that one, although it is much lighter (only 4,2 kg). What makes this one special is that it is brand new. I would estimate this instrument has come out of the case very few times if any. The PG plastic cover is sill on. The original strings are on, not one mark on the finish and the case is inmaculate. It comes with ALL the original case candy, including Fender cable, leather strap, tabs, cloth, COA, bridge cover, whammy bar, even a fancy tortoiseshell finger pick, all unused. Basically this bass is exactly as it was when it left the Fender factory in 2008, it will even ship in the original Fender carboard box. The bass sounds and plays fantastic, the setup is perfect in my opinion, no buzzing, etc. Top Custom Shop craftmanship here.

On hold.

A Fender Custom Shop masterpiece.

Now 2500 Eur... This is surely a mistake. Recently, caught in a moment of fleeting madness and blinded by its simple beauty, I purchased this amazing and unique instrument, just to realize a few days later that 1) I am mostly a PBass guy and 2) I can't afford owning this bass and not play it. So here it is for the next lucky bass player. My intention is primarily trade it for the right PBass, mostly interested in vintage Fenders, body refins are OK (no neck refins please!!), I just want a light instrument with original electronics that kills at least as much as this Jazz Bass. And that means A LOT. This is not your regular second hand "2000 EUR" team built CS Jazz Bass... This is probably a one-of, complete personal custom built with many expensive options ticked on the build sheet. I checked with the current CS price list and ordering this now would cost you 4500-5000 EUR. Also, I was told the bass was ordered by a collector and it's in 9,5/10 condition, I would say only played for a few hours. Very very few marks or dings. For a straight sale I would be looking for 2600 EUR. Anyway, to summarize: 1960 Jazz Bass in Nocaster Blonde nitro finish with matching headstock. Gold hardware all around, 1960 electronics W/ stacked knobs controls, two-piece alder body sorted for light weight (highlited in the factory built sheet!), very dark rosewood slab fingerboard, stunnig "AA" birdseye maple neck, custom tortoisell pickguard. New Old Stock relic treatment. Weight is 8,9 pounds. Balance is perfect. Sound and tone are IMPRESSIVE. I have owned several CS Jazzes and this is one step above them all. Really a joy of an instrument to play or just to watch sitting by your amp. Or to make some fellow musician you dislike very angry with you. I requested the full floor traveler sheet from Fender in PDF that I can email to the interested basschatters.

I am not able to show the ellegance of this bass in photos, sorry, but I suppose you can have an idea. I have photographed her with a white PG too (not included), which IMHO makes it shine. The perfect Mary Kaye Jazz Bass. The most beautiful and classy bass I have owned. The baby girl is not included for sale. I might trade her for the right amount of horses, just PM me. I almost forgot, it comes with the like-new brown tolex OHSC, gold covers, COA, and other case candy. Thanks and enjoy.

Someone buy this one, please!

On hold.

My CS pbass is is its twin brother.

5 strings? One too many

What missing string??

Everyone seems to want this bass, but no one dares take it. I just added photos of the pickups, stamped late december 1976. The output is strong and they sound thunderous. Also added pics of the case. Some may be happy to see this bass seems to have belonged to [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INSAINTS"]a legendary San Francisco punk band[/url]

And sold. Thank you for the interest.

And now for sale a 1977 Fender Precision Bass. Again, the coolest, most seeked, mocha brown finish. All is original. Terrific sound and beautiful paint checking. Excellent general condition for a bass this old. But something makes this one special... [u][b]It weighs 3,7 Kg[/b][/u]. This is by far the lightest late 70s PBass I have ever encounter. And it makes it absolutely unique. Both chrome covers included. No case. Price is 2200 EUR.

Lots of interest, and this tone monster is still here!

on hold Pending payment.

Resistance is pointless

This is the real deal. Some interested bassists, but no decisions yet. Be happy, buy this bass.

For sale this incredible sounding and playing Fender Jazz Bass from 1977. Original custom finish in the highly seeked, classic 70s, mocha brown, also called "walnut" I believe. Beautiful natural relic. Lovely maple neck with white blocks and binding. This bass plays like a dream with very low action and no buzzing. The PUs sound just insane. Really, probably the best sounding Jazz Bass I have owned. Weight is light for a 70s Fender at 4,2 kg, perfectly balanced. To my knowledge everything is original to the bass, except the Badass bridge. Original bridge is included and seems good (I have hever installed it myself). Original period correct hard shell case included, quite beaten up but fully working (even the latches). Also a transparent PG included, in case you want to go for the full 70s look. Price is 2200 EUR.
