Absurdly rare, these 60s rickenbacker 4001 basses are some of the most sought after instruments on the planet , and for a good reason.

Completely unmolested and inside the original case, this bass is something else.

Crushed pearl inlays, checkerboard binding , toaster pickup, horseshoe pickup, mono jack input , bigger headstock , reversed kluson tuners.

All features only available through the 60s and discontinued the following decade when production ramped up.

Apparently only 83 fireglo 68 4001 were produced and this is a perfect example of the craftmanship and attention to details of those days.

Phenomenal tone, great weight and really nice neck profile.

The original case has seen better days and has been over sprayed but it’s still there and that’s all it matters.

Partial trade alway welcome

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.

The M Series handmade bass guitars are where it all started for Stonefield® and they are now our highest spec’d instruments. Handcrafted in our New Zealand workshop, an M Series build begins by incorporating marine and aircraft grade laminates into a remarkably light weight yet very strong through-body core with a 34-inch scale length. From that point on, the array of woods and custom options are vast for M Series basses. Three-piece wooden bindings grace all M Series fingerboards, the bodies are created from a core of Fijian salusalu and an amazing array of topwood choices and a hand rubbed oil finish turns these boutique bass guitars into works of art. State of the art passive electronics with High, Mid and PRESENCE controls (all that control, no batteries required), floating wooden bridges and the remarkable Tomm Stanley™ Tuning System are all standard features on and M Series bass.
