Up for sale is this nice Vanzandt JBV-R2, hand-made in Japan. It's a stunning jazz bass, which is the closest i found tone-wise to 60s vintage Fenders - got a 1965 jazz to compare. It's a full-nitro relic model made for a shop in Shibuya. Had a bunch of nice replicas (Bravewood, Navigator, Moon, Vanzandt...), this one stayed and blew out of the water two other JBV-R2. There's really something special with this bass, livelier mids i'd say.
It plays superbly with dead-straight neck, and low action (2mm above 12th fret), trussrod is almost untouched, loads of room left. Madagascar rosewood fingerboard is gorgeous, medium-jumbo frets in near-new condition. Perfect balance (4,2kg). Original Vanzandt pickups and Cornell-Dubilier repro cap, CTS pots.
Comes with a Vanzandt branded Contego gig-bag. €1350/£1150 shipped to your door in Europe.
