Bump

Potential sale fallen through so still available.

Hi all thanks for the kind comments! It is a lovely looking bass (a large part of the reason I bought it!) Now on hold pending sale

[color=#000000]Hi all,[/color] [color=#000000]Looking to sell on this very recently-bought bass.[/color] [color=#000000]It's a 2011 Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass, MIC, which i bought just after Christmas in very good condition. [/color] [color=#000000]I bought it secondhand, but still had the plastic film on the pickups and scratchplate and even the original strings. Most likely an unwanted present of some sort.[/color] [color=#000000]The neck is very comfortable, slim and jazz bass like - feels like a slightly more substantial version of the Squier Classic Vibes bass neck. [/color] [color=#000000]Frets are pretty much unmarked, and bodywise there are no scratches, dings or knocks to speak of. Now strung with fresh Rotosound swing bass 40-100s.[/color] [color=#000000]The only signs of wear are a couple of slight roundwound string marks on the fretboard beneath the E string around the second and third frets, which don't affect the sound at all.[/color] [color=#000000]Medium weight body, gloss finish three-tone-sunburst and humbuckers which are like two pairs of standard jazz bass pickups. The bridge is a big, brass saddled job as seen on the Classic Vibes series.[/color] [color=#000000]The build quality seems really good considering its a fairly budget model. The newer model of this bass has changed to include a matt finish, different pickups and a different high mass bridge.[/color] [color=#000000]I've taken it to two fairly polite country pub gigs, where it performed well. The sound is a lot fatter than single coils, which suits me as a P bass player. Lots of good things said about them on Basschat (including by me!) as a few have come and gone here in recent months.[/color] [color=#000000]So why am I selling it?[/color] [color=#000000]Originally the plan was to sell it to fund something else I'd had my eye on, but my car has just spectacularly died which has the air of a job costing a good few quid - so that's where the money is going now instead![/color] [color=#000000]Plus, as much as I like it, it was bought as a spare which I can live without under the circumstances.[/color] [color=#000000]I'm after £250 ono including delivery as hoping for a fairly quick sale - or £230 collected if anyone wants to pop to Leicester and crank it through my Markbass/Schroeder rig. UK delivery only.[/color] Cheers

PM incoming....

Now sold thanks!

On hold pending sale

I have almost exactly this bass from 1970 and they're lovely - the B neck is lovely and comfy too. Great basses.

Bump for a good bargain!

Sunday morning bump. I've got a cardboard bass box sorted now so can arrange delivery at buyers expense. My recently bought Modern Player Jazz has taken this one's place as "cool spare bass" in last few gigs so this one is going. This is a hell of a lot of bass for £165 and one that I've done a lot of good gigs with!

that's an absolute peach - great looking bass

That is simply beautiful. Gibsons + P90s = tone heaven.

These are brilliant basses especially for the money - just bought one as a backup to my MIA P bass and having gigged it last weekend for first time I can't say enough good about them. Lovely necks, good weight, great looks. Have a bump!

Just bought a four-string one of these (well the older model anyway) and they are astounding basses for the money - so have a bump!

Bump - i really could do with shifting this so open to any sensible offers!

Bump for a bass needing a new home
