99ster Posted Thursday at 16:35 Posted Thursday at 16:35 DeArmond by Guild JetStar Bass - 1999 Model, made in Korea. I bought this stunner for a live project that I thought would ideally want something really different looking & eye catching (I love the colour!) - but, of course, that band dissolved before it got to the stage of playing gigs! 🙈 Redundancy means that...I must 'thin the herd' and much as I love it - this one needs to go! It has a mahogany body with a stunning Metallic Blue gloss finish with 2 single coil pickups and set neck, with very good build quality, lightweight and features the unique 1960's JetStar shape, bound neck and distinctive bird headstock inlay. It has 2 x vol and a single tone control. Knobs: the originals that were on it when I bought (featured in most of the photos) were a bit scruffy & I didn't think they were bling enough, so I replaced them with some gold Gibson style speed knobs (first two photos) - which I think look loads better. But I will, of course, include the original knobs too. The bass has light scuffs and marks in places (please see photos!) but is in generally very good condition for a 25 year old bass! It plays really nicely with a superb low action (42mm approx nut width). Collection & inspection is definitely OK (NN13). But I can ship if required - I don't have a case, but it will be well packaged and boxed for shipping. 8 Quote

Byo Posted Friday at 11:11 Posted Friday at 11:11 Really cool basses these. I have a trans red one that used to belong to Scott Whitley, he modded it to have a 3-way, Vol + Tone. They have a really cool sound with both pups on, almost Alembic'ish in character IMHO, and the body shape is soooo cool. GLWTS! 2 Quote
