Description

Here we have a bit of a rarity. A beautiful pre owned Carlo Robelli Jazz bass 4- string bass.   Made in Japan in the 1970’s.  This one has the “F” style headstock before they were forced to change it.  3- Tone Sunburst finish over what looks like an Ash body.  3- piece Maple neck with a Rosewood fingerboard with Block inlays. Tortoise pickguard and chrome hardware.  34″ scale length, 1.5″ nut width, and a bolt on design. This bass has been upgraded with a set of Lindy Fralin Jazz bass pickups.   This bass weighs 9lbs 14oz.  Its not a featherweight but not an anchor either. The bass has just been setup by our technician.  Strung with Rotosound Jazz flats. The bass plays a like a dream! The neck is straight and the truss rod is working nicely.  The frets are in great shape with very minimal wear.  Cosmetically, the bass is in very good condition.  It has nicks, marks, scuffs, and some small chips on all sides on the bass.  Hey, it’s from the 1970’s.  It looks like a well worn in bass.   There is one small indent on the back of the neck on the treble side behind the first fret where the binding is.  It does not hang you up while playing.  The binding on the first few frets on the treble side has some wear and discoloration but is all solid.  The pickguard has the extra holes for a thumb rest.  There are two holes on either side of the bridge for a bridge cover.  We do not have the cover but the screws are in place. The upgraded Lindy Fralin’s sound authentic and really give this bass a lift.  All in all, if you are looking for a vintage feeling Jazz bass but don’t want to break the bank, this bass is a huge value for the money.  It “feels” like an old Fender bass. Thanks for looking and happy buying!
