DB5 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) I’m selling this lovely sunburst jazz bass. It’s from the end of the American Standard series with arguably the best spec - custom shop 60s pickups, lightweight tuners with fluted shafts, etc. It is in amazing condition with just a tiny paint chip in the middle of the body and no buckle rash. The bass is all original apart from strap buttons with a larger head for a more secure fit. These were glued in by luthier Andy Viccars. The previous owner had used straplocks which were working loose. I have the Fender buttons too. The bass is strung with Fender rounds, maybe the originals, with a medium action. Weight is 3.9kg, 8.58lb. The case is cracked at the body end, started from the inside by the straplocks I think. I’ve gaffa taped this. There are threads on talkbass about mending these cases. A Hiscox case is far better. I don’t have the case candy. Collection from London N2 or DHL delivery approx £75. Sorry no trades. Edited September 25 by DB5 Typo plus added price, extra pic added, correct year! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
