Crafted by one of the best Fender Builder himself , this 2010 Fender Jazz Bass custom shop master built is absolutely divine.

The Masterbuilt line, Fender Custom Shop’s top tier series, features special instruments crafted under the personal supervision of a select group of highly skilled “Master Builders” from the Custom Shop, who take full responsibility for every step of the process, from wood selection to final adjustments.

This instrument is a Jazz Bass crafted by Master Builder Jason Smith.

Having studied under the legendary Master Builder John English and been involved in the creation of numerous artist models, Jason Smith is known as a builder who enjoys the deep trust of many top bassists, including Flea and Steve Harris.

Built in 2010, this instrument features a very light ash body, a gorgeous rosewood fingerboard with pearl block inlays , while incorporating modern features like string through and 5 screw neck plate, resulting in the unique specifications characteristic of a Master-Built instrument.

The use of a Fender string through bridge and lightweight tuning pegs achieves excellent body balance and a modern look.

Super comfortable neck profile, providing a solid, comfortable grip.

It has a perfect midrange presence and a mellow tone, yet it’s by no means a dark sound, instead it offers a well-defined, lively tone.

The sustain is incredibly pleasing.

The Masterbuilt sound is a cut above the regular line.

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.

Superb example of early 70s rickenbacker , all original and with rare toaster pickup, checkerboard binding and long triangle inlays,

Complete with original black tolex hard case, this instrument is the quintessential Ricky, and a rare one too.

Light weight , low action, thunderous tone and in incredible condition, especially considering this beauty is 53 years old.

Some filled holes behind the headstock indicating it had different tuners at some point but the original ones are back on it and they are perfectly functional.

A phenomenal player and great collector piece.
