[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1345054170' post='1772987'] currently in a dilema over this [/quote] Likewise when I decided to sell it!

Yep sorry

It's gone mate sorry too late!

In answer to a few questions I would consider posting overseas however I'd prefer the courier to be organised by the buyer in this case.

[quote name='kurcatovium' timestamp='1344974975' post='1771975'] Any trades or sale only? [/quote] Only looking for sales at the moment I'm afraid.

I bought this from EBay as an experiment to see if I could get on with a 6 string bass - I can't so its up for sale! Well despite it being a lovely bass and very easy to play I've decided it's not for me. The bass has a string spacing of just over 16mm at the bridge, 34" scale with a superb flat profiled Status graphite reinforced neck. The action is very low and the bass plays nice and easy up and down the scale. Pickups are Status soap bars and it's an active bass with a wide range of tones and great punch and clarity. The bass comes with a spare set of brand new Rotosounds and an old case. The bass has some cosmetic issues - it has been resprayed in black 'textured' paint a bit like Hammerite. It's not horrible and has been done reasonably well, but it's not perfect either. Secondly the soap bar covers have some surface wear and cracks which have been repaired; again only a cosmetic issue. There is a ding on the very top of the headstock, no other issues everything works properly, very little fret wear, truss rod turns, etc. The cosmetic issues are reflected in the price. £360 posted UK £345 picked up in person. Thanks.

Sold

Up for offers

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1344694569' post='1768086'] it says something about these JV guitars that someone would go to the expense of fitting a new fretboard on it. Good luck! [/quote] Yes a lot of money has gone into making this into a superb fretless - price now dropped for a quick sale, no offers or trades. Thanks.

Up

Ha ha well buy it then you are just over the hill from me!

Yes it's the original single coil pickup.

Gone

A JV type bump

Some interest but no firm offers yet.

The bass has all the JV identifiers on the neck plate, neck pocket and neck itself plus the pencilled date on the neck butt.

It is the above bass and I've decided to keep it for now. I played this at a gig recently and really enjoyed how it played and got great comments on its sound. I got a bit negative about the bass because when it arrived it needed some repairs doing and the attitude of the seller was unsupportive and upsetting. Having spent some time and money on it I've bonded with it again for the time being. I'm always open to the temptation of a nice Telecaster though!

[quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1344015692' post='1758837'] Got some interest in my Les Paul so it's a race to see if I can get the cash to be able to try it out before it goes... [/quote] Good luck with the sale then, plenty of interest so far but nothing on the table so to speak!

Edited with better quality pictures.

Lovely! I have a MIM Jazz white with maple board on here if interested?
