Vintage Rod Schoepfer Custom 4 String Electric Bass Guitar. Built by custom NJ Luthier Rod Schoepfer (who built custom guitars for Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi) this was a very limited run of his version of a classic Fender Precision Bass from the late 1960s. Features include Schaller chrome hardware (tuners and bridge) and passive Schaller P-bass pickup with CTS pots. White finished solid alder body with tortoise shell pick guard and neck plate. Neck and body joints have a customized machined solid brass insert that is epoxied to the wood and interlocks to form a solid fixed brass anchor for the bass. This insert was patented by Schoepfer and used exclusively on his instruments to provide more acoustic sustain to the instrument. No more than a dozen Schoepfer bass guitars exist and he sold them for $1,500 each, which is what I paid for it in the 1990s.The guitar does come with a hard shell case. The case does have some wear and some very small stains, but is very sturdy.If you have any questions or need any other photos, please contact me and I will reply. Please look at my other listings. Local pick up is available. Thank you.
