I wanted to have a bash on a headless and this is my 'name bass' so I picked it up from @dodgnofskion here a couple of years ago. I got sidetracked working overseas and never got the chance to give it a really good go until a couple of months ago and I have to say it's been a blast. So easy to play, has some lovely tones available, very nice to slap even for a total numpty like me. it has also changed my opinion on painted necks basses. But I have to sacrifice a couple of basses so The Jack is getting Jacked. The good: It's got a bolt on neck (with the title adjust) and is passive which avoids two of the main issues these basses tend to have. For a passive VVT it's quite tonally versatile. Lots of variation from the tone pot even with what the old rounds it is strung with. For my money it gives a lovely slap tone as it is and I wouldn't want to change the strings. Overall the body and neck are in pretty good condition, no major scuffs or dings anywhere. Pots all clean moving and no crackles. The bad: The neck is slightly twisted right at the end - first fret and the nut. I didn't notice it for quite a while as it plays fine and the strings all sit at a good height and it was only when I happened to catch it from the right angle that I saw it. I can't feel it when I play even though I know it's there but maybe another player would. I have tried to capture it in the last photo. The pups have got a bit of damage to the plastic (not sure what would have done it -quite odd) and some of the poles are a little rusted. Not a surprise on a bass of this age, really. The G string doesn't align perfectly over the poles (and sits slightly further in from the edge of the fretboard) but with the bridge and spacing the way it is I don't see how it could ever align fully with pickups that size. No noticeable drop in volume from the G string but I haven't given it a full live level bashing. I also expect that with a bit of shifting the neck could fit better in the pocket and get the strings completely even if you like that kind of thing. I have avoided doing this as they are known for being a bit temperamental and I didn't want to get myself into something I couldn't get myself out of. All in all, a lovely player but as it was a relatively cheap bass at the time it has a few idiosyncrasies. I am putting to up at what I think is a good price (and taking a hit on what I paid) because I want to sell it quick but also willing to listen to offers. Sorry no trades. I have a tatty padded gig bag I could probably wrap in something to post it but would much prefer collection or London / North Kent meetup.

Price drop to €4.250

3.4kg according to my bathroom scales. Not sure how accurate they are, but that’s what they say.

Just thought I’d add the weight - 3.6kg according to my bathroom scales.

Man. About a month ago this was on my radar. None in London came up so when a genzler Magellan 350 combo came up I bought it. Always the way man 🙄. This amp has such a sweet tone. Don’t think the misses would appreciate me having two rigs for the house. GLWTS mate.

Alright! Lets keep in touch, might even have some stuff to trade for you if you want.

Kind of wishing Ernie Ball hadn't replaced the body on my past Special I had in 2018. It was originally under 8lbs, but would of got lighter, arguably acoustically more resonant, due to an Ash Bora Beetle infestation 😂…long story short was the new body was over 9lbs and therefore I sold it. Could of been in the 6lbs by now 😂😂…someone out there is missing out making Paulownia Stingray bodies!

Ok this was for a project but I no longer need it. This is a brand new Allparts Jazz neck, never installed of used. Since purchasing I have added a Fender Logo supplied by Rothko & Frost and a bone nut. The frets have been dressed, fretboard oiled and it's in beautiful condition. David Wilson then completely finished the neck in lacquer with a lovely tint on the face, his work is outstanding. In total this neck owes me about £600 ish so offering it out at £500 including UK delivery. Open to offers and potential trades HX Stomp, Radial JDI, Bassrig… let me know

Hi yes it does thanks harry

Still here yes

I've owned this from new, it's unmodified, pro set up by Crockett Guitars, TI Jazz flats fitted in excellent condition. The bass is unmarked as far as I can see and in mint condition, ready to gig. Complete with Hiscox hard case, original case candy and Gibson strap. Reluctant sale as it is a really lovely instrument but it isn't getting played so it can move to a new home. Cash and Collection only, from Faversham.
