Unleash your inner Ox at a bargain price!

These basses are now discontinued due to a cease and desist from Gibson, although I did find another one for sale in Australia (link below). 
This example is brand-new in box and has never been played. It has a lovely Jazz-style roasted neck and absolutely growls! It weighs in at a reasonable 9.4lbs or just under 4.3kg. 
 

Collection from Chesterfield is preferred, or a reasonable car park meet-up. I can courier to the UK for an added £25. 

Here’s some blurb…..

Beauty, is there much in the way of neck dive on this model?

The usual I guess. I’d probably move the strap button if it bothered me. 👍🏻

I’m was in Giggear today, my local stockist of Ashdown basses. They’re not allowed to advertise or display these any more due to a lawsuit by Gibson. So they have rarity value (as well as sounding awesome!)

I've got of these too. Neck dive for sure with any almost all T-Bird inspired shapes, but I moved the strap button to neck heel and it's about 75% better.

 

I've also been tinkering with it, rewired pickups to single coil (lower neck coil and upper bridge coil) and it's much more J bass now.
