For sale is my custom Joseph headless bass with active EMG pickups

The bass feels and plays superb and is very light, a beautiful instrument with superb detailing and craftsmanship. Beautifully figured maple top as can be seen in the pictures.

Only a few months old, in perfect condition. The list price for these is now £2400

Here you can avoid the wait time for a new build plus import duties & international shipping. 

Inspection and collection is obviously preferred on this one, however if you prefer I will have it shipped & fully insured by courier within the UK and I will cover the cost. UK bidders only though please 🇬🇧

The bass will be packed in it's own padded Gator gig bag, and sent in a protective guitar box with additional padding, as you would get from a guitar store.

Any questions please ask.

Thanks for checking out my auction. Good Luck!
