null9er Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) After a long pondering I offer here my ultra rare Don Grosh Jazz Bass in the unique color "Ice Blue Metallic". Don Grosh is known in this country especially for his noble and super-resonant guitars in 7ender style. But every few years there is a "run" of 25 basses, which are then always sold directly. For those who don't know Don Grosh: Don's basses are in a league with the big boutique Jazz Bass builders like Roger Sadowsky, Christian Celinder, Aleš Vychodil, Alleva Coppolo, etc.. This starts with the quality of the woods and goes through the high quality hardware (Lindy Fralin, Aguilar, Hipshot,...) to the absolutely flawless build quality. In my opinion, the 7ender custom store is nowhere near this level with their instruments. Here are the specs: Manufacturer: Don Grosh Guitars (Broomfield Colorado, USA) Model: J4 Body Wood: Alder Finish Type: Aged Satin Lacquer Finish Finish Color: Ice Blue Metallic Neck Wood: Maple, 864 mm / 34" / Longscale Fretboard: Rosewood with 21 Frets Nut Width: 41 mm (Saddle), 57 mm (12th fret) Neck Dots: Aged Vintage Bridge: Gotoh High Mass Bridge 201-B4 Chrome Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite HB6C Pickups: Lindy Fralin Custom Jazz Bass Pickups Electronics: Aguilar OBP-2, 18V Cockpit: Volume / Volume incl. Push-Pull Passive-Active / Treble / Bass Price new: 3.590 EUR The J4 is enormously resonant and already unplugged much louder than other basses. The body is a "modernized" and therefore very comfortable "smooth-J-Style". The neck is kept quite slim and allows for very low string positions - absolutely buzz-free. Sound-wise, I'm really bad at verbal descriptions. But I would say that the J4 delivers the typical J-sounds with an extra portion of definition, enormous dynamics and silky shine. Otherwise just have a look on the World-Wide-Web - there are a few reports. But I'm also happy to send tests and/or soundfiles on request. The bass is absolutely unmodified and in excellent condition. The bass comes with the original case (see pictures). The instrument can be shipped safely packed worldwide. The shipping costs as well as the transport insurance will be paid by the buyer. By the way: Why am I selling such an instrument at all? This is the question I am asking myself right now. But I just can't warm up to Jazz basses and I'm more the Preci type. Therefore, please no trade offers, unless you have a noble P or PJ bass. I would also be interested in a bass with Lollar-TBs like DeGier or Mike Lull. Now the usual terms: This is a private sale of a used product. Therefore I exclude any form of guarantees, warranties or redemptions.
