Sibob Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 I've got two sunbursts already , love 'em though! Si Quote
lozbass Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) That is just lovely - I'm getting a bit obsessed with sonic blue jazzers and the MHS is the icing on the cake. Now if it was bound and dots... Edit: hang on...maybe it is dots and bound. Now if it had butterbean tuners... Edited August 25, 2009 by lozbass Quote
Sibob Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Yup, bound, dotted, matching headstock, clovers (I prefer to butterbeans) Beauty! Oh and it turns out it's Master Built Si Quote
4000 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 That is stunning, utterly stunning. And I don't usually like Jazzes! How much? Where? (Not that I can afford it currently). Quote
wateroftyne Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Sonic blue is better than 'burst. Have you got anything you could sell to raise the money? Quote
bh2 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Good grief!! That is teh sex... might have to get the CV 60's P and do a number on it! Quote

waynepunkdude Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 What kind of cash would that go for? Quote
Sibob Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Rumble Seat Music have it listed at what equates to around £2,700 Si Quote

Musicman20 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Nice....very nice...be better with a maple neck. Quote
CHRISDABASS Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 suppose i better put my gran back up for sale then!!! Quote
Cat Burrito Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 WOW! It does look good. I like to think if I ever get a Jazz bass again, that would be the sort of look I'd want Quote

I've spent the past 4 days either lying down or squatting as my back's gone and I can't sit down; a major handicap in the clerical job I do. It really is absolutely stunning, but £2700? Not sure about that. You can get a hell of a bass built for £2700. I think I'd be talking to Martin or possibly Enrico...or buying a vintage P Bass! EDIT: (I dunno though, it does look raaaather nice..) Edited August 25, 2009 by 4000 Quote
Sibob Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Well it's about a grand cheaper than a Alleva Coppola, and it's custom built! So I reckon it's worth it lol Si Quote

FWIW, I think its drop dead gorgeous in sonic blue! Edited August 25, 2009 by Clarky Quote
gafbass02 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 My oh my oh my :-0 !!!! I need that! As you probably know I'm very into my sonic blue jazz. Which did look pretty much like that several mods back lol. That is roight proper lush! Quote
lozbass Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 For me this bass just about justifies its tag (when you compare it to the alternatives) - I recently sold a Masterbuilt Jazz and the build-quality was as good as anything I've seen, though, clearly not as complex as an Alembic or Fodera etc. The real obstacle is the shipping, duty and tax - a realistic final price is something like £3450 (trust me, I've checked) Quote
Sibob Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 Fender are pricing up for me What have I started lol Won't be able to disclose price, but the clue will be if I eventually am able to change my profile pic and sig haha Si Quote
