Hammeron Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Hi Folks. For sale is this bass that I acquired recently from a colleague who was in urgent need of cash, It's a lovely instrument but it is surplus to my requirements as I only play 5 string basses, I'm a working player and I really don't have space for basses or other gear lying around the house that I don't use. I’ve tried going back to gigging with 4’s but, I’ll be honest, I find it to be a bit of a struggle, I am at home with my 5er and that’s that. This bass has been given a custom 'pimping' by a boutique shop in Poland called 'Restauracja Gitar', check em out on FB, they specialise in giving instruments a complete overhaul, refinish etc. Description (from RG's FB page): Bass made of the original Fender Jazz Bass 1962 Reissue manufactured in Japan in the late 90's. Thick polyurethane paint was mechanically removed from the guitar, than we repainted the body with our hard sealer and a thin layer of purple nitro - a technique used in the 1960/70 Fenders. Additionally, the neck is covered with a thin layer of honey nitro. The instrument has an alder body and a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. The whole thing is completed by alnico pickups, bone nut and a solid and reliable Gotoh hardware. Relic edition - characteristic nitro crackles, dents, abrasions and a natural patina on the hardware. This purple paint looks phenomenal live! In addition to the visual metamorphosis, we have performed a numer of service works so that the bass not only looks unique, but also sounds professional - Jazz Bass offers a very universal and wide spectrum of sound, it will work in virtually any situation! I truly recommend! Full guitar service: - frets leveling, crowning and polishing - fingerboard cleaning and maintenance - electronics copper shielding - nut adjustment - new jack socket - new strings - professional setup. Weight is around 9lbs 5oz. This instrument currently has a brand new Hipshot BT10 Bass Extender installed, the original tuner will be supplied. The bass will be shipped in a used hardcase(not tweed case pictured). Edited October 19, 2022 by Hammeron 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t take them myself, they are from Restauracja Gitar’s FB page. The bass looks just as good in person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMoon Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Nice bass. Japanese quality and a great relic job. I have a Buzz Hornet built by the same guy who did this relic job. It’s a great “players” bass, so I would expect this one to be very nice as well. GLWTS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Not played a bad Fender Japan bass yet. Always top quality, but this one just looks absolutely awesome. Nice relic job, great colour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
