pjv Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Hello there! I'm selling one of the best basses I've played since 1976 and I've played them all. I bought this new in 2012. This is now passive with Nordstrand Big Singles and Tone Styler Bass Duo6. I found active EMG-system kind of too polite but now it's like jazz bass on steroids! And what a joy it is to play. Like one reviewer said: "fastest neck we've ever played". Mahogany with maple top. Ebony frettop, Badass II bridge, Schallers with Hipshot D-tuner. Weight around 3.9-4.0 kg. Info and links: https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Manson_Guitars_E_bass_John_Paul_Jones_Signature_Bass_Review https://nordstrandaudio.com/collections/4-string-soapbar-bass-pickups/products/big-single-4 http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Tone_styler_BAss.html There are no original electronics left. EMG's are easy to find and they cost less than Nordstrands and ToneStyler. I paid 550€ for the modification incl. work. This is from the first production series and really a rarity. Serial # 20. Original Schallers and Hiscox case. Trade is possible. I'm just hoping to raise some money for something else. Price is negotiable in straight purchase. Questions welcome. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mep Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) That is a fantastic bass. I had a go on one a few years ago in Mansons and was seriously impressed with. Hugh Manson handed it to but unfortunately I wasn't JPJ! GLWS. Edited December 26, 2019 by mep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I’ve played one of these as well. It was a really nice bass. Especially good for smaller players given the light weight, small body profile and slinky neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
