jay-syncro Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Dragonfly Fat J5 Jazz up for grabs. This bass is absolutely awesome in terms of build quality, looks and sound. To get the full lowdown and hear this actual bass in the hands of a master, check out the video below. The Bass is 5 string custom Jazz Bass, Alder Body, 5 piece maple neck with walnut stringers, the headstock is capped in Maple and the fingerboard is flamed maple. The Bass is handmade and the finish and build quality is second to none, up there with Atelier, Xotic etc. The hardware is all high end GOTOH, the pick ups are hand wound Dragonfly customs, flush finished in walnut casings. The pre-amp is the Harrys Engineering DFBP-3, LOW/MID/TREBLE boost/cut, with mid notch. There is a mid cut/boost switch, active/passive select, master tone, master volume and balance. It's and absolute beast. It's in very good condition but does have a few small knocks as shown in the photos. Collection from Margate or buyer to arrange courier etc. Edited April 5, 2022 by jay-syncro 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easier to make out on this bass - https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Dragonfly_FAT-J5.html Edited March 31, 2022 by jay-syncro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the video ages ago at the start of the year or so but clearly wasn't listening thoroughly. I must watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a beast of a player though!!! And you're selling this exact bass shown in the video. Impressive stuff 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
