price dropped – 1997 FENDER CUSTOM SHOP JAZZ BASS – CUNETTO RELIC – JOHN CRUZ – ORIGINAL HARD CASE
$6,500.00 $7,500.00
This has to be the best looking Jazz Bass I have ever seen. Perfect weight, amazing finish and it’s a Cunetto. Vince Cunetto was the first guy making relic guitars for fender before the company started producing them on a larger scale. He only made 200 basses and this is the first Fiesta red with matching headstock I have ever spotted. This instrument is sublime, with a phenomenal nitro finish , handmade custom shop pickups , alder body, beautiful rosewood fretboard and vintage hardware, from the reverse tuners to the groove saddles. The bass weights 4.2kg. The original brown tolex case is in amazing condition too and the bass comes with hand tag and original custom shop from 1997 certificate signed by John Cruz himself. One of a kind and an amazing instrument

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

This 49 years old stunner is very light and makes the perfect player without breaking the bank.
Has been played but it’s still all original and retain the natural factory finish.

1977 Fender Precision Bass in Original Natural finish
Very nice condition Fender Precision Bass, made in 1977 in the US. This bass has a really nice neck profile , not too heavy sitting at 4.4kg and has a really nice growl, classic of this Fender era . All original , just had some copper shielding applied inside the electronic cavity to get a rid of any sort of hum but it’s just copper tape , so easy to remove (I wouldn’t as it’s an improvement and doesn’t devalue it). Frets in good condition and trussrod moves smooth left and right with zero issues. Action in low with no buzz and the original pots and pickups works like new. Great player and a beautiful looking instrument.
