So I would like to trade it for high end 4 string basses in the same range of price
(nice Jazz a plus actually / Sadowsky / Skjold / Celinder / etc...)
Part exchange is possible.

- Hipshot bridge
- Custom JP bass pickups (made by Aaron Armstrong (Kent Armstrong's son)
- John East BTB preamp
(active / passive by push pull on volume ; 4 position knob fo neck / series / parallel / bridge ; bass ; mid ; treble with bright swith by pulling it)

That JP looks formidable! Dare I ask the scale length and string spacing please? Also, more pics would be nice.

[flychris]

Pics added in first post
for infos : 19 mm string spacing
34" scale on the JP .
The Zia is coming in an "Aluminium" hardshell case ...

travel will be secured like that ... (and the HC with newspapers around then in a big cardboard box... no risk like that !)

Me too! Thanks for the pics and info. I'll have a wee ponder on this.

[flychris]

For people asking why I want to trade the JP and the BTB, it's very simple ...

I don't need a 5 stringer at all (except for a graphite necked one where I can accept again it )
And as JP has left the Job now and I will not have anymore the chance to have a BTB custom 4, I think
it's more suitable to trade than to try to replace them by the same new ones with only 4 strings.

[flychris]

so here a new link for he pictures.

Working Ok for me Chris

Pics of the BTB are clearer than the Zia though - maybe because of the dark woods & the stripey background. Still looks quite funky though

[flychris]

Thanks a lot molan for the feeback !

The stripey background is my bed ... and yes the darker wood on the Zia makes darker pictures.
I didn't modify them in photoshop to make them clearer and I think we can see how this higly figured walnut is like that.

a kind of mix between flammed in two directions and other figures ...

[flychris]

No news from the guy who wanted a lot the JP...
(and sorry to other guys I said the bass was reserved for someone else )

For people asking, you could find a lot of informations on JPbasses on Talkbass
So here back on the front
