molan Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) TRADED Continuing my 'last in first out' policy. . . Another bass I traded for earlier this year. It's a lot of fun to play and looks really cool - I've taken loads of different basses to band rehearsals over the years and my guys are used to me turning up with something different each week. However, it's rare that anything gets more than a cursory glance from the two guitarists. The week I took this one they both came over to have a look and asked for a quick play (with a pick of course, lol). There's just something about the tru oil finish & gorgeous neck that looks a bit special & different to all the high gloss finishes you tend to see. I already have a couple of 'go to' J basses that I'm used to using so hanging on to this one is a luxury I can't afford at the moment. Original description & pics from previous owner: 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. 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! Comes in a generic hard case" Happy to ship anywhere in UK or EU at cost. Payment via bank transfer or Paypal friends & family only. Edited November 1, 2020 by molan Traded 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 May accept trades on this one with, ideally, some money coming my way as part of the deal. Would need to be 4 strings and not too heavy - maybe something like a Japanese Fender in an interesting colour 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Had a couple of trade offers but nothing that really suited so it's still here. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely looking thing Well I beat you all! 😂😂 It was originally mine as I put it all together and did the finish work on it. 👍 slightly different spec now though, interesting to see how it’s evolved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolando Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Although I think the finish has been altered since I did it. This is from when I owned it. GLWTS! 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Open to trades for something simple like a Fender USA Jazz or Precision. Could even trade up with cash from me for something particularly nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
