Now £675

 

Lovely Markbass JP4 up for grabs. This is essentially an active 70's Jazz with a Precision body, hand made to a very high standard in Italy. The finish is exceptionally nice (the photos don't really do it justice) and the blocks and binding are done perfectly. The Markbass preamp is a great addition, as it allows for standard Volume, Volume, Tone control in passive or active modes, as well as a 3 band EQ when in active mode. It sounds great and the slap tone is unreal!

 

It's in fantastic condition and comes with the mint Markbass gigbag and case candy.

Seriously good basses these, and ridiculously cheap for what they are. I can see prices going up once people realise the quality on offer here, GLWTS. 

 

I totally agree. These are extremely high quality handmade basses for Mexican Fender money..

Jazz pickups on a P-bass body? Perfection. GLWTS!

 

It works really well ergonomically and has the added benefit of sitting up straight on a guitar stand!

What's the action like? Don't know whether it's the lighting but looks pretty high up/bowed neck 

 

It's not high by any means, possibly a trick of the light? The neck is straight and there's room on the saddles to reduce the string hight right down if desired.

Some camera obscura trickery 😅😂 all the same, more sexy shots to see and that finish is remarkable 😍

This bass plays incredibly well and sounds fantastic. Just to reiterate, this isn't one of the Indonesian made basses, this was hand-made in Italy!

Is this the same as the one Scot has reviewed recently and plans on giving away? He raved about it which takes some ad a died in the wool P player.

 

It's essentially the same bass. The one Scott reviewed has a Spruce body (this one is Alder) and a "battered" finish.

Here's said video. I'm sure that guy could get a decent sound out of an old broom but, even so.. Sounds great.
