Highlights:
Not something you see everyday, a 1964 Fender Jazz Bass in stunning fiesta red finish. This bass was born as fiesta red and got oversprayied at some point but you can still see the original factory fiesta red underneath the rare mint green pick guard. Neck is straight and action is perfect. A profile neck dated March 64, matching pots dated 50th week of 1963. The Brazilian rosewood fretboard is dark and beautifully worn. Both covers still on the bass. The original black bobbins are pure magic. Heaps of sustain and a smooth tone , thanks to the alder body combined with the maple neck. The original reversed kluson tuners and bridge are in perfectly working condition. The E tuner has the typical stress line on one of the screws, but it doesn’t affect the instrument as it looks like has been glued at some point and by the look of it hasn’t moved in years , so nothing to worry about as its a very common thing with these early fender basses. you can see that in the one of the pictures. A magnificent and rare instrument, and a phenomenal player. Comes with an old hard case.

Another great feature is the early high mass bridge with the original Musicman mute system and the metal battery lid later replaced with plastic.

1981 KEN SMITH BT4 STRING BASS – FROM THE FODERA ERA – 1 OF THE FIRST 100 EVER MADE

Highlights:

Vintage 1981 Ken Smith BT4 – True “Fodera Era” Build w/ Medallion & Bill Lawrence

This is not just a Ken Smith bass, it is a foundational document of the modern electric bass. This BT4 (Body Top) model from 1981 bears the extraordinarily low Serial #074, placing it among the very first instruments ever produced by Ken Smith.

The Fodera / New York Luthiery Connection

This bass was handcrafted during the crucial period when legendary luthier Vinnie Fodera worked directly with Ken Smith in New York.

To own this BT4 #074 is like to acquire the heritage and craftsmanship of the “Genesis” of boutique basses.

It features the coveted metal medallion on the headstock, the definitive mark of early production excellence.

If you are looking for that thick, percussive “growl” that catapulted Ken Smith to global fame, this is it.

The combination of early-80s woods and original Bill Lawrence pickups produces an aggressive, punchy tone that is dominant on stage and crystal clear in the studio.

Note on Electronics:

The original HAZ preamp received professional maintenance a few years ago and is in perfect working order, delivering the signature high-fidelity Smith sound without issues.

FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

Model: BT4 (Body Top)

Year: 1981

Serial Number: #074 (Extreme rarity)

Pickups: Original Bill Lawrence active pickups.

Bridge: Badass II high-mass bridge for legendary sustain.

Tuners: Original Schaller factory tuners.

Electronics: Original HAZ preamp (Maintained & Fully Functional).

Case: Includes a Hiscox hardcase.

As expected from a 45 year old instrument, it features a beautiful natural “relic” patina and has been used but not abused.

Nearly 100% original (woods, pickups, bridge, and neck).

As is common with vintage Smiths, one switch has been replaced to ensure reliable performance.

Playability: Straight neck, functional truss rod, and comfortable low action.

PRICE DROPPED – STONEFIELD CLASSIC I M1-4C BASS – NATURAL FINISH – WITH ORIGINAL GIGBAG

Highlights:

A very rare bass , completely hand made in New Zealand by the genius of Tomm Stanley . They are made using a very unique design and locally sourced timber. Comes with the original branded gig bag Here is a full description from the Stonefield website Topwood: Cypress Fingerboard: Solomon Island Ebony Fingerboard Markers: Burghundy within White Gem Dots Fingerboard Radius: Zero Hardware: Titanium/blue Binding: – fine line: Australian Blackwood Sap – thick edge: Jarrah Nut: Jarrah Back of Neck Finish: Natural An M Series with a twist; This one was built to a unique set of specifications and is one of only two basses we’ve ever built with a zero-radius fingerboard and a centre veneer on the front covering the laminates of the through-body core. It has also been sprayed in a matte satin clear and has a Funk Plate and Ramp, both veneered in tiger myrtle to match the jarrah binding and bridge. String Spacing: Classic (approx 19mm between strings at the bridge) Due to the low serial number, a unique build and the addition of customer requested mods, this bass has true potential for collectibility. A few notes: This is only the second bass we’ve made with a zero radius fingerboard. Note the cypress veneer over the laminates in the centre of the body. This is only the second instrument on which we’ve veneered over the laminates. In addition to the Funk Plate a ramp has been added between the rear pickup and bridge. This is the first bass on which we’ve ever installed a ramp. Both the Funk Plate and the ramp have been surfaced with Tasmainian tiger myrtle. For greater durability the top has been sprayed in a satin matte lacquer over the original hand rubbed oil.

1979 MUSICMAN STINGRAY BASS – FRETLESS – WITH ORIGINAL CASE – LIKE PINO PALLADINO

Highlights:

Possibly the rarest and most iconic version of the musicman Stingray, completely original and with case, original strap and catalogue, this bass is not just just a rarity, but one of the most iconic bass guitars of all times. Just like the one Pino Palladino used in the 80s with Paul Young, this 1979 original fretless musicman Stingray comes from my personal collection and will be listed only for a limited time so if you are interested, don’t hesitate to contact me. I have owned this beauty for a few years now and I have looked after it, servicing it regularly and oiling the fretboard to make sure it stays nice and dark. The body is unreal with one of the nicest timber figuring I have seen on one of these pre Ernie ball basses. The Musicman black strap is extremely rare as well and so is the catalogue inside the original black tolex case. There is also a musicman brass buckle from 1978 inside the case. Ernie Ball has made a reissue of these which I have tried and let me tell you, it’s not quite the same. Regretful sale but I have just purchased an expensive bass and something has to go, although if I sell something else in the meantime I will take the listing down and put this gem back in my collection.

FENDER KINGMAN ACOUSTIC BASS WITH HARD CASE AND EXTRAS

Highlights:

Fender Kingman Acoustic Bass In immaculate condition, with $400 extras and a professional setup. Just setup by my luthier, it now plays beautifully and with a very low action and a great tone. It comes with a hard case instead of the gig bag they normally come with. Also included are a Boss TU80 tuner and a Genuine Fender leather strap (RRP$200). This bass plays way better than any kinsman I have tried in store due to the professional setup, it’s just magnificent. Inspired by the iconic designs of Fender electric guitars, California Player acoustics evoke the west coast spirit of adventure and freedom, inviting musicians to explore their individual creativity and disrupt the status quo. Crafted with an X-braced solid spruce top and laminate sapele back and sides, the compact mid-sized auditorium body of the Kingman Bass produces a deep, punchy, and articulate tone and features a cutaway for convenient access to the upper frets. The bound nato neck is includes block inlays with a slim “C”-shaped Jazz Bass profile. It is an easy-to-play short 30″ scale length. Other notable details include open-gear vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, a GraphTech NuBone nut and saddle for focused fundamental tone, and a Fishman Presys preamp system that allows detailed fine-tuning of the bass’s amplified sound when performing or recording.
