Pensa Custom J535 5-String with Lindy Fralin Single Coil Pickups, Pensa Pre (Treble boost/cut, Bass boost only), Alder body, Maple Neck and Bird's Eye Maple Fretboard, 35" Scale. Case included.
Made in October of 2004.
I'm the original owner. I purchased this bass from Bass and Beyond in California last year, and I'm selling it because I ended up having one built to specs after playing this one. This is a beautiful Sea Foam Green with some sparkle in the paint. You can't tell from the pictures, but the sparkle is quite cool looking. Very funky, retro looking, and it sounds anything from vintage to modern. Lots of tonal variety with the onboard Pre. You can pull up and go Passive if you'd like to as well. Either way, sounds wonderful!
The bass is completely flawless except for one very small thing: When I was installing strap locks on the horn, I had to re-drill a second screw hole because the first screw broke off and I was unable to get it out. The broken off screw is just barely visible at the edge of the circular felt piece that goes between the bass and the strap lock. It is flush with the body and you'd have to know it was there to tell. It can't be seen except upon very close inspection.
If you know anything about Pensa basses, then you know how they sound and play and feel. Everything a great Jazz bass should be and more.
Feel free to e-mail me with any questions!
