bassbaze Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) It is an incredible bass from the well known (i hope so !) Jp. There is some topics on talkbass (take a glance at [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=316236&page=2&highlight=JPbasses"]Talkbass JPbass[/url]). some specifications : *hollowbody (2.8 Kg only!) *single cut *wenge neck with wenge fingerboard (flat radius) *body is wenge and red cendar *piezzo only (rmc from hipshot) *east electronic (volume with push/pull to add some extra trebles, bass, treble) *hipshot ultra light bridge and tuners *33" scale (but B string is strong and focus) *Ritter flightcase It produces a very natural sound. An incredible mixture of acoustic world and electric world. Jp don't produce bass guiatrs anymore. It is one of the about 20 instruments that JP build. I am in Paris but i can send the bass everyywhere. The price is very low : 900 £. You have to add shipping costs and paypal fees. ¨lease contact me to the following mail adress : siyoupi(at)yahoo.fr Some pictures : Edited November 22, 2007 by bassbaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbaze Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 That's one of the master piece that JP build. He produced about 20 bass guitar sand don't build them anymore. So, they are highly sought after instruments. You have now the oppurtunity to own one of them for a great price ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgraham Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 That's phenomenal, I always loved the simplicity of that particular one. Unfortunately even if I had the cash and no other basses, I just can't justify buying any bass with wider than 16mm or so bridge spacing. Alas, tis a thing of great joy that heralds great sorrow... Best of luck with the sale, though for that price, I don't think you have ANYTHING to worry about ;0 Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotnwhy Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 i've been a fan of JP's stuff from the begining. and would love to own one one day. but unfortunatly, not today. as mcgraham said, you should have no trouble shifting it at that price. i'd be [i]very[/i] suprised if this stuck around.

bassjamm Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 What are you looking for trade wise? I have an F Bass Studio 5 model that i'm going to be putting up for sale at £1450 if you can add the difference? Thanks J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbaze Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) Thanks for your proposition but i am not looking for high end bass guitar no more. I ever played a F studio bass and it is a great instrument for sure I like the vintage vibe and the focused B string but i'm uncomfortable with such instrument. Actually, i'm"downgrading" my whole equipement (don't know if downgrading is correct in english...). To be honnest, i have an acceptable sound on stage with a roland Cube 100 and a squier vintage modified '70s bass guitar. Previously, i played on an USA made MTD 435 and a markbass stack and i did not notice an incredible difference as far as sound is concerned compared to my current equipment. So, i suppose i don't have the accurate brain and fingers to make sound an F bass like an F bass must sound. Moreover, i'm laid back on stage with my squier. If someone say "sorry, but i scratched your bass while moving my amp !", i don't care ! It would certainly not be the case with a high end instrument !
