SOLD: 60's Sherwood Green Stacked Knob Jazz Bass Fretless- NOT FENDER £500 Manchester

[Dolando]

Hello, 

It is with great sadness that I have to let this go...recent events mean that I need the cash more than the bass! 

Up for sale is partscaster I put together using top quality parts and sprayed with Manchester Guitar Tech Nitro Paint and then aged a little. It's more of a worn in look as apposed to full relic: Paint checking and the off knock here and there etc. 

• Body is Guitarbuild.co.uk Alder
• Neck is an Allparts Unlined Ebody fingerboard
• Official Fender Stacked Knob control Plate (CTS pots) - Relic
• Bridge is a Wilkinson Bass bridge - Relic
• Tuners are Nickel Fender Tuners - Relic
• Pickups I wound myself to 60's spec - Heavy Formvar wire etc. 
• Guard is real cellulose Tortoise guard.
• Strung with D'Addario EXP Strings 

I would say this is of Fender quality and has a custom shop vibe to it, but at a fraction of the price. 

Let me know if you have any other questions. 

£500 plus delivery.

Collection or try before you buy is welcome.

What markings does it have on side of neck?

Normal dots but in the fret position not in the middle of the fret. So easy enough to play in tune.

Very nice indeed. Weight?

No idea! Could find out. It’s average weight for a jazz though I reckon.

Beautiful bass

Ah man. That’s wonderful. No frets = no play time in my house...as my dusty fretless will tell.

What a shame as it looks beautiful.
