It's this one, just to be clear:

[url="http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=819"]http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=819[/url]

I've had this a couple of years but never really got into it. It does what it says on the tin, but it's not for me. It's had maybe three hours use in total, so it's absolutely as new, with box and manual. How does £100 shipped sound for this? If you want to collect I'm in Wolverhampton.

Just purely out of curiosity (sorry, but I'm a Kontakt user these days), could I ask how much these sold for when new? And what year they came out? I always find this sort of info fascinating. I remember very well the Emulator II htting the market for about £8k!

I hope this Akai finds a good home with someone who'll enjoy it.

ALL SOLD - pickups (and the bridge) now with their respective new owners.

I will be posting something VERY cool for sale tomorrow in the basses section...

Pickups now on hold pending sale.

Bridge despatched via first class Royal Mail today, I'd expect delivery tomorrow or maybe Wednesday.

Pickups still currently available, 3 PMs responded to.

Bridge now sold.

Nordstrand pickups still available - let me know if you'd like more info.

Bridge now on hold pending sale.

I bought these pickups a couple of years ago for a project that I never got round to finishing, so they're totally unused - still in the box in their sealed plastic wrapping.

Bassdirect are selling these for £200 a pair plus shipping, so I think £140 shipped sounds fair - let me know if you've been after a pair of these and want to save a few quid.

Incidentally, I have Carey Nordstrand's NJ4SE pickups on my main bass and they're fantastic, which is why I bought these to go on a more traditional Jazz for old school vibe without the single coil hum. Nordstrands are great pickups for sure.

I also have a spare chrome Badass II bridge (direct Fender replacement) for the same reason. I understand these can be hard to get hold of at present? This one came off a Geddy Lee Jazz so the saddles are already slotted. £50 + shipping.

Let me know if you'd like pics. For local pickup, I'm in Wolverhampton.

Hi Jake - just replied.

BUMP - any takers?

[quote name='BassKS' post='964517' date='Sep 22 2010, 02:33 PM']Thats such an awesomely snug fit between neck/body, plate/pickguard/. sick. Too cheap.[/quote]
The quality of construction on the MIJ basses is great and the Geddy's no exception. But this MIM neck is nicely done too - good fret job. As I said, this is a nice player despite being a mix and match job. Everything works together well on this one.

Too cheap, eh? Let's see...

Geddy Lee Jazz body with fretted MIM maple/rosewood neck. I put the Geddy neck on the MIM because I liked the look and the EMGs on the MIM. So, this one is surplus to my requirements. I'm letting it go at what I think is a very fair price. This is a nice playing bass, but I have four Jazzes and really need to cut down a bit.

DETAILS - alder body, original Geddy electrics, standard Fender bridge (from same MIM bass as the neck). Small chip of body finish on neck pocket, caused by the really tight fit of the neck (see pics), otherwise immaculate nick. Nice set up by yours truly. Currently strung with Rotosound Swing bass rounds, 45-105. Schaller strap locks. Comes with three Geddy pattern scratchplates - black pearloid as shown, also w/b/w and b/w/b. Spoilt for choice! Will also throw in a nice black leather padded Levy's strap (with strap lock fittings) and a TGI hard case. New, an MIM Jazz with this strap and case would cost around £470 - [b]I'm asking £295 cash. Local pick up only (I'm in Wolverhampton). [/b]Please feel free to ask questions here.
