Rumple Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Up for sale is my custom (Homage) Jazz Bass, you can read the build diary here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/95012-5-string-jazz-bass-type-thing/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] 35" scale One piece maple neck, matt finish, with dark rosewood board 17mm at the bridge Hipshot Type A bridge Hipshot Ultralite tuners Nordstrand pick-ups Custom passive wiring including S1 switch and mute switch DR Sunbeam strings Schaller strap locks I absolutely loved the process of getting this made and the result is a fantastic looking and excellent sounding Jazz but after recently picking up another SR5 with a maple board I have come to realise I prefer maple and 34" scale, also at nearly 12lbs it's on the heavy side for a weed like me also if I can sell this one it's an excuse to start another build Sounds really great as a passive bass and that's what i was aiming for it could be amazing with the right pre amp. It's only been played a few times and is like new, the finish is beautiful and it plays like a dream the only tiny (me being really fussy) bug is if you look closely at the pics you can see the scratch plate doesn't quite match the shape of the control plate where they meet, easily fixed by getting Bass Doc to cut a new one in your preferred colour or live with it as it is as it hardly notices. Price wise I'm after £750.00 otherwise I may as well keep it and sell the Overwater instead, it's a top bass made with the best parts and by some of Basschats finest, no expense spared. Comes with an old gig bag as I'd expect any buyer to try this out first or at least meet up rather then buy blind. Any questions fire away but maybe check the build diary first just in case the answer is there quite hard to get the colour right in the photos the finish is off white, sol slightly creamy. Trade wise I might consider a SR5, Bongo 5, Pre 73 Fender Jazz, Sandberg Jazz 5, 1964 P Bass, Roadworn Jazz, G&L 5 or a Roscoe (LG or SKB) 5, ideally with maple boards and not heavy. Lightweight Heads also possible, Aguilar, Markbass, TC etc. R.

greyparrot Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Just wanna say i saw this bass today as i did a trade with Rumple, and the super jazz really is a stunning looking bass. If your in the market for something like this, this bass seriously should be checked out. If it had overwater on the head stock it would be double the price. Also Rumple is a sound chap, he even made my hound welcome............. cheers, Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
