Jazz Bass Upright Acoustic Monster by Christopher! The SOUND JUMPS out of this Flat Back Tyrolean style bass making it a FABULOUS Acoustic Gig Bass.
It has a penetrating bass sound that is quite impressive, and a warmth that is very satisfactory. Big sounding when bowed too, wonderful bass and bargain priced for an all solid carved quality bass.
Nice custom setup/new bass adjustments in our shop with adjustable bridge included in this low low price. NO ONE ELSE that I know of is offering custom setups on these basses before shipping to you! Price includes great setups including dressing the fingerboard for smooth playing action.
Really low jazz action takes $165 more work on the fingerboard as I REALLY work it over for a LOW jazz action when desired.
I can dial in a 3 to 4 mm height for the G and D strings and not much higher on the A and E!
I get RAVE reviews on this low jazz action as it is EXTREMELY low and fast easy playing without buzzing and rattling.
Tell me just how low you want it and I'll work it down to that height.
5 to 6 mm at the G string leaves enough height to dig in harder but still low enough along the fingerboard for a low fast playing bass.

**IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTES:
$99 shipping to Qualified COmmercial addresses not more than 300 miles or so from our shop in Pasadena, CA.

A Qualified* Commercial Address is defined as a business address in an area that is incorporated or “Zoned” Commercial and where a large truck has “easy access” (a shipping & receiving dock or a place that is directly adjacent to an entrance not requiring any additional handling, i.e.; stairs or anything past the front door.
There are additional handling charges for those and other services). When choosing the “Commercial Address” option below be sure to include the name of the Company in the shipping address in the checkout process.

$99 Shipping to “Qualified* Commercial Address” requires the address to be located within 30 minutes, or so, of a major city, on major U.S. shipping arteries and not more than 300 miles or so from our shop in Pasadena Ca.

Shipping rates can vary greatly depending on where you live. More remote commercial shipping addresses on the East Coast, New England, New York, New Jersey as well as Florida or the upper Midwestern States such as North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, for example, require additional shipping charges usually running between $65 and $155, but in the most crowded or remote areas can add on up to $200. These types of shipping destinations are more expensive to ship to from us here in California.

The customer will need to make up the difference between the initial $99 shipping and the actual shipping costs. In any case, FMI will contact you if there is additional shipping due.
Shipping to a residential address is $65 more to any State as it takes special handling by the freight line.
