    A proper vintage JV at less than the price of a Roadworn!

    Pictures would be useful!

    Looks like some possible water damage judging by the decal and rusty tarnish to the chrome. Certainly worth asking if ths is the case and what lies beneath the chrome covers as the electrics may well be shot. I had a water damaged Gibson that I bought very cheaply and it was literally falling apart where there was a glued joint. Worth pursuing though as this could be a nice bass with some TLC.

    OK looks like this is about to go but one final bump before the decision is made!

    Edit for new price - a lot of bass!

    Now that's one hot fender!

    I had the Japanese Fender version, very light and versatile bass. For those of you with bad backs this looks like a great bass for very little money.

    I'd consider trades but only on a USA G&L with a maple fingerboard or a Trace T Bass

    Yep it really is light just over 7lbs I'd say, it balances perfectly, its lighter than my other JV, feels strange when you pick it up initially and then it resonates so well! Physics? Alchemy?Magical properties? How did they do it?

    Reducing the price to £680 for a quick sale its also advertised elsewhere at a higher price. This is a chance to get your hands on the equivalent of a custom shop without the massive price tag and with real history!

    Lovely, these are my favourite era Status basses if I can get a quick sale on my own gear I will be very interested! Have a bump on me.

    The JVs are worth every penny, I currently own two (Squier logo versions) one is all original - and for sale - the other has a bridge pickup and some later parts fitted but its a keeper for sentimental reasons. These basses sound right and look the business, both of mine are light and supremely comfortable to play. I've only played two bad JVs one because it had been badly treated and had a misaligned retrofit bridge. The second because the fingerboard had been sanded down too much when some bright spark had decided to turn it into fretless...and changed their mind. These were not factory issues the quality control is pretty much spot on. Rick's Fine is correct with the price of the Fender logo'd version even in these troubled times. To find one that hasn't had the Squier or Made in Japan decals rubbed off is a pretty rare thing in itself. It's worth noting that the Japanese are reclaiming many exported JVs because of their investment potential.

    Here's an active Precision pickup taken from an old P bass I recently bought. Its a Kent Armstrong and comes with battery clip. All that it needs is to be hooked up to the pots and jack on the bass of your choice. Pickup is in excellent condition and sounds very powerful with no earth buzz. I'll try and post a pic at some point. The pickup has a cover without exposed pole pieces similar to an EMG. I'm looking for £25 posted within the UK.

    More pics on request

    [quote name='Fitz' timestamp='1336688704' post='1649692'] I'm sure guitars and basses used to be easier...there seem to be a million 'signature', 'reissue', 'custom shop', 'relic' efforts now... Did you not used to have choice of Fender, Fender Squier, Gibson, Ibanez and Kay (!!) ?...and one model of each in a choice of 3 colours?? [/quote] This is as good a JV Precision as you will get! Yes there are a lot of basses out there and that's why I stick to what I know! I have a decent collection these days, but the basses I come back to are my old Gibson Grabber and my '77 Fender - they just work. As for Rickenbacker's have you seen my green one posted elsewhere...now that is a rock 'n' roll bass fit for a Lemmy!

    Here is my superb Squier JV series Precision Bass. This is one of the early first issue Squier logo'd basses from 1983, for those in the know these were the basses that raised the standards by which all contemporary Fenders were judged! This bass is in excellent condition and is all original, the only non original parts are the inclusion of an aftermarket thumbrest and a chrome bridge cover - I don't believe that the JVs actually shipped with a thumbrest or covers ( cover not pictured as I don't like them and it was painted black for some reason when I got it!) hence my suspicion they are non original parts. All electrics function perfectly and the pickup sounds just right with a surprising amount of tonal variation. The neck is superb with a sixties style profile and dark rosewood board. Frets are near perfect thanks to the fact it has spent most of its life strung with flats. Action is nice and low, even at all points on the neck. The bass plays really well and has good balance. It weighs just a shade over 7lbs! Cosmetically there are a few minor blemishes to the finish but nothing nasty. The bass looks fantastic, it has been played and gigged regularly but has been very well looked after. I have pictures of the neck stamps and electrics if required. I'm not looking for trades on this one I'm looking for a cash sale preferably picked up in person. These are very sought after basses amongst players and have deservedly got the reputation as being the Japanese equivalent of the pre CBS Fender. I'm looking for £650 firm or [i]possible[/i] trades for a more modern US maple fingerboard Fender Precision or US G&L bass again with maple fingerboard or a Gibson Grabber. I'd also consider part trade/cash for a Fender Telecaster guitar preferably a US made one or a Roadworn. A decent double bass too. Not bothered about anything else. Cheers
