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

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 !

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

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.

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. :huh:
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 ! :huh: It would certainly not be the case with a high end instrument !
