alyctes Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Farida FJB-6. This is a bolt-on Farida J-J passive four-string, in candy apple red with a mint/black/mint scratchplate. I bought it through eBay and never used it much. Nice, well-made J-style bass with the typical Farida short lower horn. It has seen a fair bit of use but has no serious scars; the worst are a millimetre-size pit on the back of the neck - possibly put there deliberately, but certainly not by me - and a scrape on the lower body, not visible from the front and not large. The scratchplate has lots of small scratches. I've tried to take pics. The truss rod turns happily. It's not a lightweight at 4.7kg (10.4lb), so probably best avoided if you have back trouble. It's a nice bass, but I'm not using it - mostly playing fretless nowadays. £100 plus carriage. Bank transfer preferred. The bass is in Poole and I'd be happy to drive an hour or so to deliver or meet. Or it can be couriered at buyer's cost and risk; it will be properly packed. Edit: Some pics.

The one on the right has an FJB-6 neck on it. There’s a white FJB Fretless out in the wild somewhere with a set of Duncan 1/4lb pickups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyctes Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) I need the money, and the space, and I'm not playing it. I suppose I could put a fretless neck in it. Edited November 12, 2018 by alyctes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
