Very nice that. Thanks for the heads up. I definitely think I’m done for a bit now though….I think 😅
-
Done! Thank you -
Cort's slimmed down J body is extremely comfortable IMO, good to see these still have the Ultralites and Luminlays. If you still want to scratch your Overwater itch on a budget there's an Aspiration Deluxe (Tanglewood built) 5 string in a Hiscox Liteflite case on eBay for a low start bid: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/197513973505

I need to go have a lie down 😁

In the absence of any firm interest (apart from trade offers) I am going to withdraw this. My other basses (Spector Ian Hill and Shergold Marathon) are wearing rounds and great for pick-based rock, this offers something different with flats. If you stumble across this advert at a later date, there's no harm PM'ing me to see if I might change my mind. But for now this is WITHDRAWN. -
You're spoilt for choice in that area 🙂

Have you got a link to where you got the pickups on Ali Express please ? -
Funnily enough, I had this at a gig last weekend; a chap came up to me to say he was enjoying the band and then said 'I'm a bassist, too; I play a Fender Jazz...a US Elite Fender Jazz' My complete lack of reaction to this* seemed to nonplus him, and he walked away. * I may have said 'Oh.', just because there was a gap in the conversation...

And replied Dan -
Odd that the ad doesn't mention new strings and a "pro setup'. That normally add's a lot to the value....apparently 😂
-
New Birkins start around £23K, and head North, very, very quickly... Bass prices don't compete... Be careful what you wish for gents.

Ah that’s good to hear. Thank you. Yeah, it’s definitely quite a middle of the road, un offensive kind of tone. But, it works for what i need. I was looking for something like that, that I can eq to fit in a variety of things, and it does that well I think. There’s also a wide variety of Pickups/preamp options down the line if i want to make it sing a little more.

Mistaken, rather than misleading perhaps? We also don't know how old his hardware is
-
Bought a preamp from John. Nice easy, straightforward transaction with great communication. Recommended
-
Slightly misleading info here. Only the early cv, the pino version had tonerider pups, everything since have been fender designed.
-
WOW!!! I'm speechless,£7m??? 😧

For sale is my Tone Hammer 500. This is a great amp with a warm, tube-like tone. I bought it new about 8 years ago and it's had regular, though not heavy use - approx. one gig a month - and always been well looked after. In great condition, with one minor scratch on the top, seen in the photos. Packed in the original box, with mains lead and instructions. Complete with the Aguilar carrying bag in very good condition. £500 including UK postage.-

yeah £7,000,000 for the original Birkin bag If you can afford £20k for a bass, why would you deny your wife the same for something that makes her happy? Sorry, this was supposed to be funny, getting a bit philosophical now.
-
Does this apply in reverse? Hypothetically, if one had a collection of Sadowsky, Valenti, AC, Lull etc basses, would one still take the Fender? I mean, Joe Blow doesn't know the difference between a Jack & Danny's and and an Alleva Coppolo, they're both obscure, niche brand FSOs. My Jap Yamahas have been the victims of Fender-snobbery many times.

I played your bass in Rose Morris on Denmark Street when they first got it in,maybe 3 months ago give or take. I really liked the fit finish and general feel,and I mean a LOT! Sound is subjective but it did at least sound like a Jazz to my ear. Job well done Cort. Visually I don't get on with clear pickguards but ignore that as that's only my personal taste speaking.The maple fingerboard and matched headstock look great in person however to me. Enjoy your new bass ☺️
-
Nice find. Well done.
-
Very kind, but I don't read music, am self taught and just play familiar patterns when writing my own lines....
-
Anyone Recognise Any Of The Signatures?

Looks great. Where did you get it from? Provenance is a big thing, of course. -
I think you’re underselling yourself a bit there mate.
-
I changed out the CV pups and controls in an old Squier Jazz that I owned, but really didn't need to. It sounded perfectly lovely from factory. I'm now lead to believe that the CV's use Tonerider pickups, of which I use in my American Jazz. They're absolutely beautiful sounding. I like them so much that im fitting a set to my own Bitsa Precision
