markstuk Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Price reduction to £650 Putting rumples "Homage" jazz 5 up for sale as I'm not playing it very much at the moment... I've attached the original photos (if that's a problem Rumple let me know) and taken two new ones today showing the changes I've made.. More photos here [url="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6oFnWtRjlTpSGFkYkx3UkRuajA?usp=sharing"]https://drive.google...ajA?usp=sharing[/url] Here is the original spec below. I've added a John East Pre Amp (J Retro), shielded the control cavity, added a battery box (standard Ibanez style) And I fixed the scratch plate issue and added a metal plate to the next join. . Now strung with new DR Low riders.. Bass is unmarked apart from some tiny tool marks on the side of the fretboard which is how it came to me.. Based just outside Banbury - happy for folks to try before buying.. ============================================================================================================================================== [color=#ff0000]Up for sale is my custom (Homage) Jazz Bass, you can read the build diary here:[/color] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/95012-5-string-jazz-bass-type-thing/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] [color=#ff0000]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 DR Sunbeam strings 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. it's a top bass made with the best parts and by some of Basschats finest, no expense spared. 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.[/color] Edited May 16, 2017 by markstuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Are those pickups hum-cancelling? Or just when both on? Or neither? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 They're custom (because of the string spacing) Nordstrand Big Splits - not obviously hum cancelling, but the bass is pretty quiet hum wise.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Bumping... The pickups, preamps, tuners and bridge would cost £600 new :-) This is a massive sounding bass for the money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
