3Gorillas Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) The bass is sold Human Base Jonas 5 fretless I am selling my beloved Human Base Jonas fretless. These basses - especially the fretless basses - are among the finest instruments available. Handbuilt by master luthier Siggi Jäger in Germany. This bass was built for me, 1st owner. I am selling the bass as I need some space and cash for new things and I also have a very similar Human Base fretless 6-string (I am more a 6-string guy…). This bass has been unplayed in its case for years now… Model Jonas 34" Maple-Body 3-part maple neck (neck-through) Amaranth-top ("Purpleheart") Ebony fretboard 24 "frets" with fretlines Bartolini-Pickup Glockenklang 3-Band-EQ Amaranth-Ramp (you can take it off without any marks) Weight (bathroom scale): 4.1 kg Except some tiny playwear on the fretboard (please see pictures) excellent condition, almost like new. The bass comes with original gigbag or HISCOX-case and tools. The bass is sold! The bass is located near Bonn / Germany. Shipping is no problem (at buyer's expense and risk) Edited May 31, 2020 by 3Gorillas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to do with Jonas Hellborg? Thanks a lot! No, the name "Jonas" is just coincidence with Jonas Hellborg. Siggi Jäger (the masterbuilder behind Human Base) has been building basses for Kai Eckhardt (among other fantastic players), but not for Jonas Hellborg AFAIK. If I get the story right Siggi started with a partner somewhen in the 80s. At some point they wanted to add a neckthrough custom model. Siggi developed the "Jonas" shape and his partner a model called "Max". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
