walshy Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Open to trades P bass/Stingray/Cabs etc... Would rather not part it out if possible. £1000 cash price deal til Sunday evening. Custom Alpher Jazz Bought for a project I’m no longer doing and I’m not a Jazz Bass fan so up for sale. Custom Jazz Bass comprising a Pau Ferro / Ebony (f/board) handmade by Alpher Instruments.This neck was handmade to fit the Warmoth (USA) Alder Jazz bass body This has an added flame maple laminate top and finished in tru oil. In excellent condition (just a couple of minor marks/dings which may show in photos). Fitted with Fender Custom Shop 60’s Pick ups and brand new John East Deluxe Pre which works both passive and active. John sent me two additional plates 2 x chrome and 1 x black. All will be included I also have a passive VVT and another John East East Mid Sweep/Boost (active; 9v battery below bell-plate) which provides increased/additional tonal boost/variation(s) (or which can be dialled-out – or battery removed – to give std. Passive J tones. This is also included. The chrome hardware is high-quality Hipshot (USA) plus J. East original knobs (3 std. Plus one stacked). This bass has been totally overhauled and upgraded and is a killer Jazz. I just ain’t a jazz guy! Comes in a generic hard case!

That’s nice mate 😃 It’s lush and I bought it a while ago and spent money on it, a canny bit upgrading it. Sounds crazy with the preamp 🤘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Interesting, don’t think I’ve seen a pau ferro neck before (I thought you meant the board was some kind of hybrid construction from the original post). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bass by the way Yeah, may be the same one. Had tonerider pups in it. I have replaced them with Fender CS 60, John East Retro Deluxe pre and a strip down and refinish. Was for a band that wanted me to use a Jazz, however it never panned out and its P basses all the way for me ( oh and Modulus 😂) Cheers man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Is this bass owned by a retail outlet or an individual? Or maybe being sold by a retailer on commission and also advertised privately here? I’m confused now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
