I can attest that this is an absolutely beautiful bass and a perfect example of an iconic model. It plays flawlessly and sounds exactly as one would imagine!

...and that is how one sells a bass! Superb ad, superb bass

Wow, very dinky and very beautiful!

Sir, I salute you in just about every respect!

Apologies Torvic, just saw this! Dots are on the line. Cheers!

Just fabulous to see this old Cerwin Vega gear around.

Wow - I had one of these (well a custom built copy with an additional front firing 12 in the centre of the fold - it had belonged to Sad Cafe) - a monster in every respect. I paired it with a 15” folded horn too. It caused chest pain and interfered with breathing at around 20 feet - seriously. I was supporting Angelwitch years back and there were audience complaints just from my backline. Wondrous. I’d struggle to even wheel this now but I’d love to try

That Agi rig is epic indeed - something that I've always wanted despite my preference for SS preamps. I had a DB680 and whilst it was gorgeous, it still sounded like a valve pre (obviously). I'd love the Agi to just to look at and admire. What a lovely combination of brilliant engineering and cool retro aesthetic

You have some amazing instruments - not just beautiful but interesting and unusual! Love the neck through here and the timbers throughout are first class. I've always dreamed of a neck through Precision and very few around

Rare, beautiful and pregnant with local relevance. Bit cheeky too but the quality of GS and Gordy is stratospheric. Bargain

I’d concur - absolute bargain! I played one of these in a local shop around 10 years ago and was blown away by the quality and playability - love that board too - didn’t know they’d use Brazillian

What a gorgeous neck - I've always loved this bass and suspect it plays beautifully

hahaha! Me too

Hmmm... I wonder - I bought the bass (whole) from an academic in London. It wasn't martthebass as far as I know and I think the seller was the original commissioning purchaser of the neck - it's unusual insofar as it's a gloss sprayed black graphite neck

thanks for the lovely comments - I have the bass in my hands now - balance is excellent (standard J really, though with the graphite neck and ultralites, there's no dive whatsoever - either sitting or on a strap). Weight, as close as I can get it on a digital scale, is 8.8lbs (so around 8lbs 12ozs). You'd be very welcome to come to Manchester

Now £525 collected with Fender gig bag or £560 including overnight shipping (in an ABS hard case) in the UK Status necked fretless Jazz 4 - luthier built alder body with natural gloss finish and custom Status neck (21 positions with overhanging board - black gloss finish). I bought this to use whilst my own fretless was away for some work. The latter is now on its way back so I'm selling. Though I'd honestly rather keep it: I'm not a fan of hyperbole in ads but this is very genuinely the best fretless I've ever owned or played (and this includes Fender Masterbuilt and two Wals). Superb, very low action and fabulous playability. It plays better than my other fretless (considerably better, that's why the other has been away). Condition is mint - I can't find any marks anywhere. Specs are: Luthier built, centre-jointed 2-piece alder body - gloss transparent finish Custom Status neck (Precision flat profile with 1.625" nut - apparently, this cost over £550 alone when Status was taking custom orders) Tuners - Hipshot Ultralite Pickups - DiMarzio (DP123 I think) Hardware - Fender (bridge, bell-plate and neck plate) Strings - currently very light (35-95?) rounds - very comfortable - nickels I think Weight is 8.8lbs (about 8lbs 12ozs) and balance is very good - the top horn strap pin sits above around 11th 'fret' and the ultralites imply there's no neck-dive at all I have around £600 in this so think £550 is fair. Though, honestly I doubt that you'll find a more playable fretless at pretty much any price. IMO opinion, this also looks lovely and the J shape is very comfortable The bass is in Manchester and collection would be ideal. Initially, I had only a Fender gig bag and was unable to ship. However, I've been able to source an ABS hard case (in very good used condition) and a box and can now courier within the UK. So, the selling price above (£550) includes a gigbag if collected. I can only ship with the hard case and this will add £25 to the total. Shipping should be around £15 so the total cost for the bass, shipped in a hard case will be £590. Following a recent disaster with an amp, shipping must be at the buyer's risk and collection remains the preferable option... I'm happy to ship with insurance if this helps (though again, there's an additional cost here). Any questions, please just ask I’ve added a couple of images of the fretboard extension to 21 positions. This also shows the very shallow radius of the board - almost flat. For me, this adds to the comfort. I’ve added some further and better images but please let me know if you need anything specific

I'm not a massive fan of hyperbole in ads so just the facts (err, and a bit of opinion... ) Candy Tangerine Precision - luthier constructed from a combination of an MJT reliced body (Alder I think - see MJT at https://www.mjtagedfinishes.com) and a Limelight reliced P neck (1.625 nut). IMO the relicing is of a very high-quality and looks authentic (in terms of both wear and checking). I picked this up on here around a year ago, spent around £150 on it, put it in my office and then it's hardly been played (I try to stay out of the office and when I'm there, I'm frequently too busy to play). On receipt, the bass played very well, though the action was at medium height and I prefer it extremely low. So, off to Jack's Instrument Services in Manchester to have the action taken right down: some fret-work, a full-set up, re-string and a shim - I also had some of the finish removed on the back of the neck, then a light oil to get that US Lakland style slickness. All this at a cost of £130 - I can provide the receipt. The result, IMO is stunning - super-low action, incredibly clean and fast all over the board and sounds like a classic early P. Specs: Light alder (?) body (MJT) with deep contouring - relic finish Candy Tangerine Neck - P Shape with 1.625" nut (Limelight) - very dark rosewood board Scratchplate - I'm told by the original commissioning owner that the plate is an original 1964 from his own '64 Fender. The plate has an extra hole that has been filled. I can't verify the provenance though it looks right Limelight electronics, pick-up and hardware Strung with brand new D'addario 35-95 Nickel rounds The original ad is here (I'm hoping that the original owner is OK with this) I have just over £800 in this so think that £690 is reasonable. The bass plays beautifully well and, again in my opinion, looks immensely cool (though you can be the judge here). The bass is in Manchester and comes with a basic soft padded case (not bad but not immensely protective). Please note, I don't have the pickup and bridge covers. I can ship but at the buyer's cost and risk (and there is a risk here without a hard case). Any questions please just ask - the original images are probably better than mine but I can get more if required.
