This sold on the bay yesterday but the transaction was cancelled. The reason given was - 'The buyer is not registered with eBay.' Not sure how they were able to buy it in the first place then!? 🤬 -
Selling this lovely bass as I have too many (again). It's an MIJ Fujigen Precision, produced by the factory that makes Fenders Japanese instruments. It's made using the same parts/hardware as an MIJ Fender, but has the added bonus (in my oppinion) of a slightly thinner neck and marginally flatter Pauferro finger board. I imported it from Japan via Danny at Bass Japan Direct, here's the link to the original ad, which contains a video demo of the bass. https://reverb.com/uk/item/11654429-fujigen-history-cfs-zp-62-mid-2000-s-vintage-white Spec - Alder body Maple / walnut neck Pauferro fret board 34" scale Standard hardware (gotoh) Original pickups Light weight at only 4kg I've actually weighed it myself and its more like 3.8kg, which makes long gigs a breeze. It comes with a nice padded gig bag. -
Get your Jerry Barnes on. -
Basschat solved. Stop saying it like it is!

He's another track recorded at the same gig. The guitarist gets to stretch his legs a bit more on this one 👌 Again, straight DI signal from the Atelier Z, but this time with a little Octave pedal action. Superstition.mp3 @Risk101 @bassaussie

Very kind of you to say, I'll pass on the compliment to the others 👍
-
Thanks, not bad for a DI signal (plus a bit of wah 😎).
-
Bass is in Margate but can post if required 👍

Up.

This is a lovely cab that is light, loud and has the glorious SWR sound. It's in great condition overall but does have a bit of carpet bobbling (?) as is common with carpet covered cabs.

The SWR golight Junior 400W 2x10 bass speaker cabinet features 400W handling, custom SWR neodymium speakers, horn tweeter with attenuator, Speakon and 1/4" speaker jacks, as well as side handles, vibration-free shock-mounted grille, and front slot port. The SWR Goliath bass speakers created the modern standard for bass instrument sound reproduction. Now the same painstaking attention to detail has been applied to SWR's line of professional neodymium speaker enclosures”the golight series.

Here's a couple of live recordings from a gig using the Atelier Z. Bass was DI'd straight to the desk. I occasionally play the correct notes, but don't like my bandmates to become complacent 😁 If function band song choices offend you, do not click the link! P.Y.T.mp3 Teardrops.mp3

It's 4kg with the vintage bridge and 4.1kg with the BAII. I have some recordings from a recent gig if that'll suffice?
-
I should also add that I can refit the Badass II bridge that came as standard. I removed it as I'm not a fan!

Due to unforeseen circumstances I'm having to let this beauty go. Atelier Z make some of the best super-jazz basses going, and this is no exception. It combines faultless Japanese build quality with great electronics and the result is pretty stunning. The bass plays beautifully with a low action, the neck feels great and is a beautiful piece of maple (see last pic). It was hand made in Japan and comes complete with an Atelier Z case. Spec: Nut width : 38.5 mm Finger board 20 fret width : 63.5 mm Fingerboard R : 240R Neck thickness : 1st fret 21.2 mm , 12th fret 23.8 mm 21 frets, 34" scale, Maple neck Ash top over an alder body Pickups - Atelier Z JBZ-4 Preamp - EQ-XXII Preamp with the following configuration: neck vol - bridge vol - treble - bass and adjustable trim pot inside for mids Badass II bridge Gotoh GB 528 tuners with a Detuner on the E string Atelier Z case Just set up with a new set of DR Hi-Beam strings and a new Duracell to ensure many trouble free hours of funk ahead 😎

Great, thanks for that. I'll look into filing the saddles down. That's interesting about it potentially being a prototype. The control cavity (which is immaculately put together) has what looks like a hand-wired circuit board wrapped in a spongy material to protect it. All looks untouched and original. An early preamp prototype potentially? It definitely only has one volume control, one tone (of sorts) and then the two adjustable frequency (??) controls. I am a bit of a bass geek in general but now realise I know very little about Japanese Washburns, so will join the Facebook group and have a nose around. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the info. I think the mini toggle is indeed a passive switch in the middle position (as it works without the battery in this position), but then it has a further TWO options to select. I guess it offers preamp boost at different frequencies potentially? Ah yes, I've been able to get the wah type affect. So yours was a three knob variation? I think mine may be an expanded variant with two frequency sweep-able controls then potentially?

I recently picked up this Japanese gem, and wonder if I can pick the brains of any Washburn aficionados out there. Preamp - What’s going on there? The large toggle is a pickup selector, the knob nearest the bridge pickup is master volume and the knob nearest the bridge itself I believe is some kind of tone control, but the other two knobs and three position mini switch have me stumped. The knobs almost seem to be a kind of Wal-like filter but I’m really not sure. Bridge - The action is currently quite high at the bridge (the strings at the nut are nice and low without buzz and the neck is true), even with the saddles at their lowest setting. The bridge looks a bit like the original Badass and is seriously hefty. Would it make sense to get the saddles professionally filed down, or would a replacement bridge be less sacrilegious considering the bass is original and in amazing condition? It’s an awesome bass that reminds me a lot of my Yamaha BB2000 in terms of the solidity of the construction, the high quality materials and the attention to detail, but unlike the BB, it doesn’t weigh as much as the moon. Which is nice.

It has flat pole pieces. -
Forgot I had this bump
-
Prince would approve type bump. -
May trade for an electric or acoustic guitar plus cash my way 👍
-
To clarify, the body is Swamp Ash and the neck is Maple with a Wenge fretboard 👍

I can imagine the B on a Dingwal is something to behold 🤯
