Just received a bass from JohnR, ruthlessly packaged, the courier stood no chance - Mwahaha!!! etc Many thanks to John, to all else, deal with confidence

One of my fave basses is a £100 J&D jazz that I bought coz I like the colour, gets picked up more often than counterparts that are five times the price

Mind BLOWN! But id still buy the bass probably

Having waited for several years for IMO the most beautiful bass ever made to come up for sale, and not being sure it ever would TBH, then finding I had no money when it actually did and letting it slide for ages, only to finally end up with it my hands, Id say keep it. Its gorgeous, as an objet d'art its worth it surely

The reason my beloved TE GP12SMX had to go, and I was in my twenties at the time

Lovely! How much? Where from?

Combinata bass VII? Look more like a IV to me

Don't forget wiring holes/routes!

Hmm. Are we seeing the work of a certain BC member?

That bridge doesnt look like its in the right place to me...….

So what is the official name for the colour of that bass? Saw Derek Forbes play a similar one a few years back with big Country and wondered what it is ever since

Mine runs DR's as well, and yes sings like a singy thing.

Oooh I got one of these too, a very very capable instrument it is as well

Another J&D jazz here, bought from this forum, sea foam green with black hardware. I've slimmed the neck down a little and its a little cracker

Indeed. And sadly the bad thing about Ebay is sellers can 'fine tune' the feedback that gets left, thus. Couple years ago I spent a tennerish plus postage on a clothing bag/suit protector type thing off Ebay, was from a seller with large product turnover. The product was advertised with all the usual guff we've all come to know and love "Hi quality....super tough....etc etc " It tore as I tried to take it out its plastic bag packaging. A bit miffed, I left them negative feedback and set about trying to find a decent product (Which I haven't to this very day, I don't think they exist) Day or so later I received an email telling me that if I retracted that feedback, they'd refund me in full. Now, how many people would go for that sort of deal? A very large percentage Id wager. I didn't as it goes, coz I was so p*ssed off and I'm generally a very stubborn bugger. I left my feedback there. But I never got a refund.

Cant be arsed ( pun intended) to read the thread, what colour does your mate say it is?

Can we see more detail of the tailpiece/bridge area? Looks interesting that

Had a Squier standard in pewter as my main gig bass for several years, it did the job very well tbh. It had a Kiogon loom on right from the start, and I shielded the cavity to the best of my ability. However, the j pup did have issues in several theatres with humming, and rather than replace the pickups I ended up replacing the bass as it had had its fair share of knocks over the years, and hey, new bass lol The neck on it was sublime however, which is the main reason I liked it s much I think
