MAYONES JABBA 5 Classic 2016 Flamed Maple Blueburst £850 inc UK delivery - *SOLD* £850 Suffolk

[Quent]

Hi everyone and I hope you’re fairing well.

Selling my beautiful  Jabba 5 Classic 2016 to help fund a Sandberg TM2 4 string already upstairs.

Reached breaking point now ( space and dosh ) so strictly one or two out to fund next indulgence / experimentation.

 

 

I bought this in Jan 2019 from Bass Direct and it’s in the same condition with home use only here. Hence the super bright

images below of my bass, which were taken at Bass Direct. You’ll tell which are mine!

There are a couple of small dinks to the upper and lower black gloss edge which don’t even show on the 

Bass  Direct photos but they were minor. I’ve drop filled and polished 3 and show them on my photos. It needs a proper

pro buff I reckon to get back to full gloss there but you might manage it. Two faint marks on the neck rear.

Only other comment I’d make is that the tone and bass/treble controls seem looser ( when turning ) than my other basses

but I don’t know the trick to solve that, all solid and stable, just easy to accidentally nudge from their position between songs.

 

It’s all packed ready in a good  Anderton’s box and a new Fazley padded bag and tons of padding around and at each end.

 

All original with Aguilar AG 5J-70 jazz pickup set and Mayones M-BP2 , 2 Band preamp, Active/Passive switch

and the controls are Vol Vol Bass/Treble stack and Passive Tone Control.

The specs are on the link below for this discontinued Jabba version and you’ll see ,in the info there , that they changed

the control set to Vol Blend after a long run of Vol Vol. Let me know if the link doesn’t work. I’ve had a problem attaching it.

I’ve got some lurgy at the mo and my brain is failing me already but please ask if I’ve missed anything vital.

She’s in great nick apart from the above minors. The BD photos make the scratch plate look a pale vibrant blue but it

just isn’t ! It’s more a grey blue to me with gunmetal type screws.

The whole bass is lovely and virtually swirl free. Clean fretboard and shiny frets with no wear. 

I have some lovely Jazz Fivers. This one will raise more funds though and the compensation is that the Sandberg

I bought is blueburst too with maple and black blocks. 

 

Here are the main specs incase the link doesn’t work. I have plenty of feedback and notice Bassman666 sold one

of these in July 2020. I bought his Warwick Dirty Blonde 4. Still got it. My serial number only about 3 before his bass.

Cheers all and I hope you don’t catch what I’ve got! ( Not Covid)
