Traded - JCR Luthier Jazzbass 5 Custom £1300 Bilbao - Spain

[cascanicoff]

I recently aquired a bass through a trade. It is a very lovely bass, but regretably it has to go, I still have too many of them. So here you are: JCR Jazzbass 5, 24 frets, all at your disposal.

JCR (Jaume Catalá Redondo) is a Spanish luthier that is beginning to get his well deserved recognition among the best in the continent. You have already seen in Basschat a number of his gorgeous products, and they are very fantastic. Many of his basses have an obvious source of inspiration in Fodera, but this bass is diferent. We are talking of a jazzbass design with 24 frets. It reminds me a lot of such models as the Mayones Hadrien Feraud bass. I hope the colleague Mustafunk does not mind if I take his previous ad for this very bass, so that you can find all the details and some soundclips/videos (definitely much better than anything I could record myself 😔).

The price of this bass is 1400 euro. In that sense, the 1300 pound tag established in the ad is a maximum in case the pound rate goes down, but right now 1255 pounds will do the deal. The bass is in Bilbao - Spain, in very good condition except for some mini-scratches on the horns that barely appear in the pics. I would ship it in a hardcase, also in excellent condition.

And talking about pics, here they go:

The bass was practically sold, but in the end things didn't work out. So it's still in business and up for grabs.

I'm gonna let this beauty go for 1170 pounds for a limited time.

Bargain is over, it comes back to the original price 😉.

[cascanicoff]

I will offer this beauty for 995 pounds, just for a few days.

The retail price may be around 2,700-3,000 pounds. You grab yourself a bargain

The few days are gone and the JCR comes back to normal price. Sorry, lads...

1400 euros (1263 pounds, as of today - still a very good price, I think)

Up. I could consider trades + money in either direction. Just feel free to propose.

[cascanicoff]

1217 pounds as of today for UK buyers... plus VAT and import taxes. Let's at least round it down to 1200.

1400 euro for the rest.

I am in a real rush to sell (not really...), I'd better hurry up:

[cascanicoff]

On hold pending delivery (and practically gone).

[cascanicoff]

And it's gone. Thanks to all interested.
