Bravewood Jazz Bass - *SOLD* £1750 SE London

[chrkelly]

Incredible Jazz bass from one of the best vintage luthiers around. Incredible relic job, the nitro checking looks spectacular in the right light. It's a 'proper' vintage instrument with none of the downsides a 60 year old bass. 4.2 kg, pickups are Bare Knuckle single coils. I've got a rather large double bass shaped purchase coming up so this is a straight sale only, absolutely no trades.

 

£1750 firm

 

I don't have a spare case for this so collection only from Catford, London SE6

I used to own this very bass. It is all you ever desired in a vintage Jazz apart from the eywatering price of old things.

I had a Bravewood Jaco replica I took in part trade for a 64 jazz and 99.9% of people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. It was amazingly well made.

Very true, I've fooled most engineers into thinking it's from 63. You can only tell the difference when it's side by side with my real 66 p bass.

 

Anyway, looks like this is on hold pending the usual...

[Geek99]

Out of interest, what differences did you see against your 66?

[Owen]

When I played it against my 66J, to all intents and purposes, they were neck and neck.

I’m just curious @chrkelly

ill never own the real thing
