NOW SOLD Stack knob Jazz, ‘61 style (not Fender, except a few bits) £700

[BassBod]

SOLD

This is a very good quality bitser, assembled and finished as an early jazz bass ( stack knobs, slab rosewood board and felt string mutes).  One of my main working basses, but work’s not paying well and the car needs replacing 😳 

The body is solid alder, of Japanese origin and probably dates from the 80’s.  Very accurate, includes router hump.  Olympic white nitro, with natural wear and nice yellowing etc.  

Neck is from Bravewood, but refinished and re-fretted.  Great slim profile, lovely dark board (slab with clay dots). Natural wear on the back. Gotoh reverse tuners. 

John Suhr pickups, proper spiral bridge, full stack knob circuit.  

Currently has old DR flats fitted and set up as an old style Fender, with mutes and covers.  Currently this bass won’t do a low set up with rounds.  There is some persistent fret rattle around the third fret, so some spot levelling would be needed.  Plays nicely with flats as it is.  Haven’t tried to remove the sticker on the back- it’s been there a long time 😜

Collection from Bristol/Bath area much preferred, comes in a basic Ritter light gig bag. 

Any questions?

Yes, it’s a reluctant sale.  I’ve used this a lot for quite a few years, but the car is slowly falling apart 😳.  Nothing seems to sell except Fenders!

One last bump - the sound, feel and look...but you don’t have to worry about it costing you £8k 😳

Open to sensible offers on this, but no trades please...
