A lovely player for those moving from 4 to 5 string because of the (adjustable) string spacing. Specs Weight: 4.7 kg Nut: 47mm String spacing: 19mm, adjustable Xotic A-type bridge 22 frets with luminlay fret markets - activate with a torch or other light source, and they glow on a dark stage. Controls: Chrome pots: Volume - Blend - Passive tone Black pots: Active bass/mid/treble Switches for mid and treble centre frequencies Push/Pull Volume for active/passive Push/pull passive tone for Hum Reduction Inducter (a $150 add-on option which works brilliantly!) For other details see here: http://xotic.jp/instruments/basses/xj-series/index_e.html (this explains the bass was designed in California, built in Japan, and finished in California!) "The production of each high quality Xotic bass guitars begins in our Los Angeles, CA shop where the wood, shape, color, hardware, pickups and all other features are precisely designed for each instrument. Every model goes through an extensive process of R&D to determine which wood, construction and electronics will best serve its envisioned use. These exact specifications are then sent to T’s Guitars in Japan. T’s Guitars has an enduring reputation of producing exceptional hand quality instruments in Japan and Xotic has a long and ongoing relationship with them. Great attention is paid to picking the finest woods for our bodies and necks and each piece is hand selected. Seasoned builders blend old world craftsmanship with modern CNC technology in building each instrument with each step in the process supervised up to Xotic’s meticulous specs. Guitars are then shipped to our California shop where our Master Luthier will inspect each instrument. Fretwork is finalized with a fret dress that addresses every facet of the fret surface. Additional setup includes string height, truss rod adjustments and fine-tuning of pickups and electronics. Particular attention is giving to the instruments playability, tone, fit and finish." Also see the spec sheet in the photos. Cosmetics: Excellent condition, I can't find any body marks that would show up on a photo. A few minor scuffs and dings on the headstock. History I bought it a few months ago in Camden, it appears it has been previously sold on Basschat: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/328027-sold-xotic-xj-1t-5-sold/ Moving on because I've just bought a Ken Smith and this is far too good for a backup!

LoneFurrow Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 It's a lovely bass, no question. I traded it at Guitar Guitar in Camden last year. At the time it had a Hiscox black hard case, which I wouldn't have called "shabby". Not sure if that's the case you have, @Kevsy71. GLWTS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hiscox was (as they all are) excellent but I needed it to courier a recent sale as it was the only one I had at the time...the current case is absolutely usable though. Xotic used to make a brilliant gigbag but I don't think they sell them anymore, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneFurrow Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Ah... fair enough. I have an XP-1T as well, which came in the original Xotic gigbag. They make great basses and guitars, which I think are sorely underrated. Most definitely a bargain for an incredibly flexible 5 string. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
