koval123 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Price or trade value: £500 Up for sale is a really special bass guitar. Some time ago I have purchased what seemed to be Fender Jazz Bass Plus with no S/N and no proper JB Plus logo on the headstock and with odd black pickguard installed. After taking off the neck I discovered that it was a Fender Custom Shop order. [size=4]The neck, dated 26JUL1991, is made of one-piece flat-sawn maple and looks like something between Jazz and Precision type with width at nut of 1[sup]5[/sup]/[sub]8[/sub] “ (41,3 mm). It has oil finish and ebony Fretboard with only side-markers present. There are “Fender Custom Shop” and "Hector Montes" stamps on the heel, and also "40th Annv." and "Stu Hamm" notes in red ink.[/size] [size=4]The body is made of ash and besides the pickguard - which was just lying on the top without being firmly attached - it is a regular JB Plus body with Kubicki pre-amp. In the neck slot there is "A. Murillo" stamp and "Stu Hamm" note in red ink.[/size] [size=4]The only modifications I made was removing the pickguard (still have it) and installing a Hipshot D-tuner that makes the bass even more versatile.[/size] [size=4]Everything indicates that it is most likely Stu Hamm's Fender Custom Shop order, maybe even his first signature model prototype (at least its long-scale attempt)? I have asked Fender Customer Service this question but since there is no S/N they were not able to help me identify the instrument. They also claimed that there is no record for Custom Shop orders made over 1991. I have also asked Mr Stu Hamm if he recognizes the bass but apparently he is too busy to answer – to date there was no feedback from his side. Anyways – it is surely a great sounding and looking guitar for your consideration.[/size] [size=4]It comes along with used Tolex HSC in which I got the bass from the USA.[/size] It carries some dings and small scratches but generally it's [size=4]in a very good shape.[/size] [size=4]Here are the pics:[/size] [attachment=159596:stu1.jpg] [attachment=159597:stu2.jpg] [attachment=159598:stu3a.jpg] [attachment=159599:stu5.jpg] [attachment=159600:stu6a.jpg] [attachment=159601:stu8a.jpg] [attachment=159602:stu9.jpg] [size=4]Updated price is £500, shipping to UK will cost additional £30[/size] [size=4]Thanks for looking![/size] Edited February 2, 2015 by koval123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I would have thought if you sent the photos you have over to Fender they would be able to shed some light on the situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
