Beautiful Custom-Built Jazz/Precision Bass – Premium Components £800 Trowbridge

[Muzomatt]

For sale: my dream bass, built with no expense spared, using only the finest components.

This was my exclusive bass for around three years, including on a full UK tour with EXTC — featuring Terry Chambers, original drummer of XTC.

Specs:

Neck: Beautiful quartersawn flame roasted maple Jazz bass neck, oil-finished with a rosewood fingerboard — hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds (Oxfordshire)

 

Body: Alder, metallic grey finish — also hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds

 

Pickups: Hand-wound by Jamie at The Creamery (Manchester) — custom 1960-spec Jazz Bass and 1958-spec Precision Bass pickups

 

Bridge: Babicz Full Contact Bridge

 

Electronics: John East Uni-Pre (customisable, 3-knob pickup controls)

 

Tuners: Hipshot lightweight tuners

 

Assembly: Professionally built to the highest standard

 

Condition:Good- some scratches and dinks from regular use — see photos or ask for more details. Includes a finger ramp (easily removable – attached with double-sided tape).

 

Sound:Massive tonal flexibility, amazing clarity and depth — from deep vintage warmth to tight, modern punch. A truly powerful, versatile bass that suits any genre.

Reason for Sale:

 

Only selling as I've now moved permanently to short-scale basses, and this is no longer getting the use it deserves.

Price: £800  (sensible offers considered)  Cost  about £1500 to put together.

 

Collection preferred. Happy to send more photos, recordings, or arrange a try-out for serious buyers.
