Title: FS: John Paul Jones Custom
Post by: briant on July 04, 2010, 07:41:23 PM

After many months of hard consideration I have come to the conclusion that the time is right to part ways with my JPJ Custom.  I simply don't play it enough and I'd rather see someone enjoying it on a daily basis instead of hanging on my wall.  Stats:  S/N: 04C13322  34" scale purpleheart / maple neck zebrawood top / back mahogany body red side LEDs - yellow LEDs at 12th and 24th frets Signature electronics  I have the original hardshall case with it and it is in excellent condition.  asking $3000

Can I get additional pics?  I might take this off your hands. I would like to have pics of the headstock and any other pics you might want to forward as well.  Perhaps you might consider a 2010 4003 Rick Mapleglo in a partial trade and money your way of course.  Email is lcollins123@verizon.net (mailto:lcollins123@verizon.net)

I saw this posted last night, and I cannot believe someone has not snatched it up yet.  I am very tempted to dig into my moving back home fund and buy this as an investment for when the market goes back up and sell it for a healthy profit.  I have already purshased two using this logic, do not make me do it again . . .

FYI - I've had a huge response to this posting.  First responders have already been emailed.  I'll email additional people if the first responders don't pan out.
 
Thanks for your patience!

I noticed it also out on CL... hope that it can end up here in the club.  I'm sure you've most likely been inundated by response.  Best of everything with the sale Brian.

Hi,
 Would you be able to tell me what the bass weighs? Thanks Todd

Beautiful bass, Brian!  How's the sustain?  Please let me know if this is still available.

Title: FS: John Paul Jones Custom
Post by: briant on July 07, 2010, 11:03:19 AM

Not available.  I'm having serious seller's remorse already and didn't even part ways with it.  I guess it's nice to know a ton of people want it if I ever can manage to break my ties with it.
 
Sorry for getting people's hopes up.  I apologize for that. :-(

Brian-
 
Your price was insanely low. Next time you want to sell it, try $4500 or so.I suspect you'll still get an offer or two.

I paid $3900 for my Triple O. They are beautiful basses w tons of tone plus mine has stereo capabilities.

With the dings on the 2004 triple O, I think 3K was fair.  
Peace

Is it still available?  Would you consider shipping it to Switzerland?
