    Thanks chaps, it really is the best 5'er I've played and I keep having that "Do I, Don't I" debate.

    I remember seeing Washburn guitars and basses in the most amazing crackle/lightning finishes on the back of guitar magazines when I was a youngster (late 80's?) I fell in love with them right there and then. I think if I saw one in that finish now I wouldn't be able to resist temptation.

    True. It's heavily discounted too Mark D Phillips I'm sure would turn it in to ta three string Bass for those poor afflicted people with extra large hands

    That's brilliant. Thanks so much

    So I have a lovely Fender Japan Jazz unlined fretless currently wearing a set of EMG active Jazz pickups. I love everything about the bass apart from it weighs around 9 and a half pounds. As a result I've decided to find another body for it. While I'm searching however, I thought I'd see if there were any P Bass bodies that were routed for Jazz bass pickups: not PJ but JJ. I know there are companies such as Warmoth who could do this, but to avoid unplanned charges etc. I thought I'd see if there are any that could be sourced in the UK. Any ideas would be gratefully received. I'm not looking to spend a fortune, but a nice lightweight ash or alder one would be my preference. I'm not interested in blanks that could be routed as I don't have the tools or the talent to do it myself! Thanks

    Dave was kind enough to send me a Jazz Bass pickguard. He didn't want me to pay him for it, but instead donate some money charity which I duly did. A top guy in anyone's books.

    It's a metallic finish but not really sparkly I'm afraid.

    It's one of the much-vaunted Mexcian Road Worn Series, similar to the Fender Flu Jazz bass and the Nelson Mandela Precision

    Just used my wife's digital kitchen scales (she's out, so please don't tell her! and it looks to be 3.8-3.9Kg. I'd call it 4kg to be sure. Certainly very comfortable.

    No bras were burnt in the making of this instrument.

    I'd suggest putting things that make noise in rooms away from the adjoining wall if possible.

    I know one of her touring bassists is actually a member on here ( @JimmySims I think). He very kindly put me on the guest list when they played in Guildford a few years ago now.

    I've had a question about the hard case, so here are a couple of pictures.

    If my Jazz sells in time I'd have this off you like a shot. Lovely

    I own your bass' grandson!

    I add a tag saying "UK-based" on my For Sale items as I agree, it can be quite disappointing when you open the advert and think "argh, VAT and fees".
  24. Old Horse Murphy
    That's lovely Gareth, although I misread the bit about the F-hole and thought "you did what?!"
  25. Old Horse Murphy
    Thanks Norm. I'd have said it was more like Stilton but worthier way, it would go great with a nice red wine!
