Maruszczyk Jake five-string PJ, 3.6kg, £1050 *Sale pending* - *SOLD* £1050 Edinburgh

[EmmettC]

I bought this bass off @jrixn1 just over 2 years ago I believe, I've loved having it, but it just doesn't get the use it should, I prefer 5s so though a P5 would be nice to have, but turns out, I still prefer 4 strings precisions. I think this is the price I bought it for, and it hasn't really changed since then, but I'm open to sensible offers.
Currently strung with LaBella flats, but I can put rounds on if you prefer. 

Body: chambered alder with flamed maple top and back

Neck: 21-fret (plus zero fret) hard rock flamed maple with rosewood fingerboard, blocks, and vintage white binding
Scale length: 34"
Headstock: originally matching, it was subsequently refinished by JP Guitars, Bristol.
Nut width: 45mm
Tuners: Hipshot USA Ultralites
Pickups: Delano PC 5 AL/M2 (neck) and JC 5 AL (bridge)
Controls: Volume, volume, tone; push-pull on the tone for both pickups in series.
Bridge: Gotoh 205B-5, 18m spacing
Weight: 3.585kg, and perfectly balanced - a real pleasure to play.

Some info from the previous owner that I would not have noticed or known about if it wasn't pointed out -> It also arrived with stripped neck screws; these have been replaced.  Truss rod works correctly in both directions.  N.B. Maruszczyk truss rods are clockwise to loosen and anti-clockwise to tighten (i.e. against convention).
There are a couple of small marks on the body, one of which has been painted over (see photos).

I'd prefer collection in Edinburgh, or delivery/meet up within a reasonable distance, but I can sort postage at buyers expense if necessary. Cash would be ideal, but, I really want a Genzler Kinetix so happy to trade.
I'm also after a short scale, and a Fender Coronado.

For some reason I can't upload any more photos, I'll try again later (and include a post it note with date, but if anyone wants photos before that, let me know and I'll send them over)

I think that might have originally been mine but when I had it the headstock was matched to the body - the next owner had the headstock stripped back to natural. If I had the money I'd have it back straight away. It was one of those 'why did I sell it' basses. GLWTS

Good for you. There’s a sea foam green one (PJ5 with maple neck/board) I also sold that I’d love to have back….anyone got it and looking to sell it?

You sold it to me as well, but can’t remember who bought it from me. Sorry.
