It's a fantastic instrument! Shame to see it go to be honest, one of the tightest B strings I've played

Used to own one of these in the Amber color for almost 6 years - one of the best 6 string basses I've played and heard. Really not much to envy to super high end handmade instruments, to be fair. Had to let go of mine for financial reasons only as well - and I always wish I didn't have to!

The translucent red is really something to look at in person, fantastic wood choice. The Japanese craftsmanship on these is unbelievable, flawless fret work.

I spent two years looking for the best bass in the world and I ended up with a JP2.

There are simply fantastic, the best tone, best playability, rock solid, deep luscious ebony board, great electronics, well balanced, quite light considering, exquisitely made, etc etc.

Grab this now as the new list price keeps creeping up ... (risen twice in the last 12 months)

It's really hard to let go, it's such a responsive instrument all over the fretboard and the B string is an absolute killer.

I did see the RRP has crept up to £4100 now! A lot of money but considering the craftsmanship - tight neck pocket, little adjustment made since purchase, you can see why these instruments are so coveted.

As it stands my house sale is going through without selling this bass or not so I might keep it after all

Thanks!
