Well, here is a rare and unique find!
Every bass player out there has, at one point or another, wanted to add a "Jaco" Fretless to his stable.
This was the desire of the previous owner of this Vintage Japan Hohner as well.
This started as a Sunburst Lawsuit mid 70s Hohner Jazz Bass, but then the frets were professionally pulled, the slots filled, the fretboard finished with a rugged and smooth finish (likely epoxy) and then radiused at 7.25 and sanded to a smooth consistency.
The job is pretty pro overall. The truss rod is functional, the neck plays pretty good! We installed a fresh set of Ernie Ball Flatwound strings, and have been having a blast. Is the bass perfect? Well, of course not. There is room for more adjustment or modification, depending on your needs, but it is fun, and perfectly 'giggable' as it is. It is ready to play.
The Pots are new and works fine. The pick guard (obviously) has been removed, and the holes filled. The finish is original but has been lightly and nicely aged. It has a smooth and dull consistency and is very comfy and presents well.
we are including a used hardshell case with this at no additional cost.
This is a Vintage MIJ Bass, that plays, sounds and looks great, for less than a run of the mill Mexi!
We ship SAME DAY so you get your stuff FAST
hope you snag it!
