[ead]

SOLD ELSEWHERE

 

Due to arthritis really starting to affect my hands I am selling off pretty much all my basses.  It now falls to me to sell my Jet basses.  Both the P and this one, the J bass, are really nice instruments with some really high-grade features for their price point.  I have to say that this is one of the nicest necks that I have had the pleasure of playing.  The full spec is below.

 

I’d say the colour is very similar to the Aztec Gold that Fender has.  It is in very good condition having been used at home for practice.  The bass is in excellent condition and I will be immensely sad to see it go.

 

The bass comes with a new Fender gig bag and weighs a very playable 4.0kgs.  The bass will come with the original single coil pickups in it.  These are very nice with a good strong output typical of ceramic pickups.

 

I have made the following upgrades:

·       Full copper foil shielding

·       Good quality loom from our own KiOgon

Thanks Rich.  I am going to cling on to a couple if nothing else just to make a bit of noise now and again.  I am talking to a specialist about some treatment too, but not holding my breath on that part.

Turmeric supplements with black pepper aka curcumin are worth a look
