Van Der End jazz bass £600 Bath

[grahamd]

After some consideration selling this stunning Van Der End jazz.

Pretty sure the body is Ash, maple neck and board. Gotoh gold bridge. Schaller tuners with detuner, original tuner also supplied.

Aguilar OBP-3 preamp with sweepable mids and mid switch, passive/active switch and passive tone.

Pickups are Jess Loureiro, great, warm sounding and react really well to the active controls. I have gigged it in active and passive though  and it’s a joy to play.

The neck in particular is a standout feature in these instruments, not thin or thick, just really playable and nice low action. This example is very clean too.

I've had a custom black guard made and a setup done since I’ve had it.

Points to note. The electrics cover at the back has chips out of a couple of corners. There are screw holes (filled) at the front from earlier fettling. It’s been routed for precision pickups too, so could be made into a PJ if desired, not the greatest job, but then you don’t see it. The volume catches slightly on the stacked balance around the centre detente. Easily sorted if required.

So there we are, these are £2000 new, the price is bargainous and it owes me more. Will post for £25 in a fender gig bag

Trades not looking for anything, but precision’s are my thing, and quality cabs/amps always of interest 

Cheers

Just gorgeous. How heavy is it?

[grahamd]

I have no scales I’m afraid, but it’s neither light nor heavy. I’d say high 9lbs. Sorry that’s not the most accurate
