FEND3R

Hi, fellows,

I have been around the forum for a long time, but never got around to do a proper introduction, so here it is!

I am from Bulgaria and have been into bass playing for around 15 years, and although I lurk around other forums, I have found basschat to be the best source of info on our common "disease" and I definitely enjoy the super friendly athmosphere around here!

I also prefer to trade around the forum because I hate the Bay and would always prefer to trade with honest folks, who know what they are trading. And since my GAS is uncurable ....... (the joke on the side, my wife is thinking of doing a scientific research on GAS and me and a couple of friends will be the clinical cases )

So all in all its a great pleasure to be part of basschat!

Regards
Tsvetan

That slim neck profile looks brilliant. I've had a few Jazz basses USA, Japanese, Mex in my time but this looks to be far far superior. I think the Classic Vibe Jazz which has a great neck has tried to capture this profile too. If I had the money, it would be on its way to England.

Being Oly white it also matches my JV57 Precision!

Thanks for the kind words, the neck is really a joy to play. On the other hand if you were willing to trade the 57JV ...................... Just wandering

Just sold a bass to Alex, super nice guy to deal with. I would not hestitate to deal with him again!

Regards

SOLD

1983 Ibanez Roadstar II RB924 CS Deluxe bass. Pretty nice condition, the top and bindings are close to perfect, some buckle rash and dings on the back, some minimal dings across the neck. The birds eye top and finish looks amazing, the neck feels great, the bass is very responsive and not heavy at all, all the electronics work great, all parts are original, here are some specifications from the 1983 catalogue: [url="http://www.guitartechcraig.com/ibanez/8384bass/83rb924b.jpg"]1[/url] [url="http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu303/duncanboyce/Ibanez1983catalog.jpg"]2[/url]

Here is a video review of the model that I found online: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQqWJkGkv7Y"]https://www.youtube....h?v=oQqWJkGkv7Y[/url]

The bass comes with the original case which is in nice condition. The frets have minimal playwear. The only bad side is that string height adjustment screws on two of the strings are stuck and I can not adjust the action low. This can be fixed I suppose.

Considering all of the above and that the last I saw went for 350, my price is .... including free shipping to UK and most of the EU (if You are outside UK, please ask me and I will check the differences in shipping rates and give You a precise end price).

It will be shipped in its hard case and packed well in cardboard. I will ship from Bulgaria so there will be no import taxes for EU buyers. I suppose that PayPal is best as payment method, although it sets me back a bit with all the transfer and withdraw fees. My feedback can be found here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/125066-feedback-for-fend3r/page__p__2610067__hl__fend3r__fromsearch__1#entry2610067"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2610067[/url]

Feel free to ask me any additional questions or demand additional photos. Delivery usually takes around 5-7 work days to the UK and most of EU.

Trade wise I would be interested only in Fullerton RI and Squier JV precisions (especially in them) or other vintage or vintage reissue precisions – either a straight swap or with cash both ends. Also would consider a nice precision bass neck.

Jusy sold a Fulleroton jazz to Vittorio, nice fellow, easy to deal with. I would not hessitate to deal with him again!
Regards

AND SOLD

A Squier JV Jazz from 1983. I won't indulge in description how good these are, I suppose you already know. Thinning the heard a bit as I seem not to get along well with jazz width necks so this is up for sale.

I bought it from the original owner who unfortunately swapped the electronics for US EMG tan bottom pickups and EMG pots in the late 80's and did not have the original bits no more. So I removed the nasty EMG's and pots and installed 5% overwound Lindy Fralins plus correct pots. Also bought the correct brass ground strap and installed it. The latter "upgrades" sum up to around 200 pounds.

The neck stamp on this one is April 83, the serial also suggests this, so just a year after production started, which is nice since it has the vintage correct bridge and tuners, replaced by the standard Japanese hardware on the later specimens.

Apart from the electronics everything is completely original. It has some wear – few dings and bumps – the biggest one around the bridge pickup (I have tried to show everything in the photos). Nevertheless its very clean for a 32 year old bass. The electronics, truss rod, hardware and everything else works perfectly. The bass plays sweet with a nice action, no dead spots, currently strung with roundwounds, minimal fret wear. The neck feels great, a more meaty "C" shape to my hands than a 60's jazz, but of course not as chunky as a 70's one. The bass came alive with the Fralins and sounds very tatsy with them - better the other three JV's with original pickups that I have played.

More hi-res photos of the bass can be found here: [url="https://picasaweb.google.com/105844066118758229046/JVSquierJazz?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCLaT_e7zh92iaw&feat=directlink"]https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink[/url]

My price is £600 including free shipping to UK and most of the EU (if You are outside UK, please ask me and I will calculate the differences in shipping and give You a precise end price).

It will be shipped in its hard case (missing the handle but great for protection during transport, my research suggests it's the original case – light tolex on the outside and plush on the inside). I will ship from Bulgaria so there will be no import taxes for EU buyers. I suppose that PayPal is best as payment method, although it sets me back a bit with all the transfer and withdraw fees. I have positive feedback which can be found here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/125066-feedback-for-fend3r/page__p__2610067__hl__fend3r__fromsearch__1#entry2610067"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2610067[/url]

Lots of interest but still here.

Thanks, gentlemen, it really is so worn because once you get your hands on it, you really can not stop playing. Shame I am a precision type although I really have a hard time selling it.

[attachment=199603:jazz.JPG]

I have to sell my Fullerton 62 Reissue Jazz Bass. I assume that everyone knows the story behind them. I acquired this one from the first owner - a studio musician, who bought it new in 1984 and played the hell out of it for 30 years. So it looks like a relic but this is actual wear from years of playng.

The bass is completely original down to every last screw as can be seen in the photos and comes with the original case (case the plastic fender logoed one for the European market, which is battered but still the original case) and all case candy - string mutes, covers, thumb rest, lifetime guarantee, etc. As far as conditionwse all the electronics work, truss rod works, there is plenty of life left in the frets - they could use a little crowning but I never bothered. One small part of the upper layer pickguard is missing clouse to the lower horn, also the E tuner cloverleaf is bent, but since the stem is straight this can be easily be fixed. The verious dings, dents and chips can be seen in the album bellow.

More detailed photos can be found here : [url="https://picasaweb.google.com/105844066118758229046/FULLERTON?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCIm0v6HRjNib4wE&feat=directlink"]https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink[/url]

This is the best Jazz I have owned - and I have owned lot of recent ones, JV's, a 66, a 69, a 75 and a 78, and the Fullerton blows them all away in terms of sound and feel - its just like a really good pre-CBS. The neck is super slim and super comfortable - this is no surpeise as the stamp shows it has been shaped by Herb Gastelum who is consider the magician of Fender necks, he also worked in the custom shop after its formation.

If further details or photos are needed I am more than happy to provide them along with a video / sound test of the bass.

Shipping to the UK is included in the price, for other countries please ask. I will ship from Bulgaria so there will be no import taxes for EU buyers. My feedback can be found here : [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/125066-feedback-for-fend3r/page__p__2610067__hl__fend3r__fromsearch__1#entry2610067"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2610067[/url]

TRADES : I am interested only in vintage or vintage reissue precisions with alder bodies and wide necks, cash adjustment possible both ways.

Just sold a bass to Nick- it is a pleasure to deal with him. Highly recommend doing so with confidence!
