Sold other gear so no hurry on this one anymore, it's a killer bass and would do no harm staying in the stable as my only 4. That itself speaks volumes on it's versatility and ability..
I'll list the bass at $1300, if you're able to make a smooth, no haggle-hassle deal, I'll take an additional fifty bucks off.
You wouldn't find an American jazz with these upgrades and tone for this price anytime soon.

Also, couple of peeps asked if I'd sell the parts individually. Well, not unless I've a buyer who'll take the bass reverted to stock.
Don't miss out on this puppy at this insane price!

Hey peeps,
What I have here is a 1997 jazz, beautiful bass with a super resonant older alder body which has aged to a nice creamy Oly white. Some player marks here and there, head and butt, side to side and a few chips. ALL naturally done, no intentional relic-ing involved. Structurally the bass is just great and absolutely flawless. Really, really classy looking!
It's been moded with an Audere JZ3 pre (approx $240) and a BadAss III bridge (approx $120), IMHO the two vital components that opens up the capabilities of the bass. The Audere is very transparent and subtle yet amazingly powerful. You can get a million tones out of this puppy with the 3 band eq and Z-mode settings.
Phenomenal player, great neck, sounds just killer, and I mean killer. NAILS that classic 60's J-Bass tone. Has a vintage fat round tone all through the neck fingerstyle, just the most insane slap tone that sizzles and bites (the well loved tone we hear on records from the 60s/70s), you also get that huge burpy growl with the bridge pup solo-ed, and one of the best, if not the best thick thumpy p tone from the neck pup on a jazz. You can truly dial in the most beautiful tones with this bass. Not to mention, the neck is fast and very comfortable with low action. Well all in all, you get the idea. It's everything you can possibly ask for in a jazz bass.
