1983 USA FENDER JAZZ BASS FROM THE “AVRI” SERIES WITH ORIGINAL CASE

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.

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.
