This is a great bass for those new to 5 string or wanting a backup bass. It has a nice straight wide neck with a shallow profile, easy string spacing and action. Two jazz type pickups give plenty of tonal variation. The bass is in excellent condition with no issues. Its in a black finish with rosewood fingerboard. Looking for 125 GBP and will post in the UK for an extra 15 quid. [attachment=82470:__KGrHqQ...Em____12.jpg] [attachment=82471:__KGrHqY...M3Q___12.jpg]

[quote name='ahpook' post='1263472' date='Jun 10 2011, 12:19 AM']same as my jazz bass - fantastic instrument. good luck with the sale (tho i doubt you'll need it)[/quote] Thanks for your PMs and replies to this topic a lot of interest in this so far I need to emphasise the fact that I am willing to post within the UK only at the buyers cost.

[quote name='Stag' post='1263425' date='Jun 9 2011, 11:12 PM']Absolute barg, wont be here long![/quote] It seems I've underpriced this from your comments and pms however I will stick to the price as I'd like a quick sale - however the price is firm.

glad you think so didn't know what price to pitch it at

Here is my lovely old Fender Jazz Bass its [i]made[/i] rather than [i]crafted[/i] in Japan - although I'm not sure if there is a significant difference. The bass has the nicest neck of any MIJ Jazz I've owned or played, it's very slim and easy to play and in excellent condition. The bass is all original but as you can see there is no scratchplate ( I have one knocking about in a kind of tortoiseshell/red pearloid the holes don't line up but I will include it if wanted). There are no extra routes or structural issues with the bass. The pickups sound great - typical Jazz sound - you know what I mean. The black finish is original but a bit scruffy, there is a significant ding at the bottom of the bass, one on the lower bout (touched up) and near the neck plate (see pics). These are just cosmetic, its obvious someone has tried to buff some flaws to the finish up at some point and in a certain light you can see patches of surface scuffing to the gloss - very difficult to capture accurately in pics especially on a black bass. This bass contains no artificial 'distressing' and has the honorable marks of time rather than the dishonorable marks of a sander! The bass is light - around 8lbs - with a good balance, like many of the earlier MIJ Jazz basses including the JV series the copper earthing strip runs from bridge to treble pickup and is clearly visible. The control route has a copper plate also. The hardware is tarnished and there are spots of rust here and there but all perfectly functional. This is a great bass for gigging and will serve you well! Comes with a gigbag. I'm not after trades on this - looking for 350 pounds - as I'm not sure how much these are going for. Cash preferred but paypal via 'gift' possible I could post within the UK but this would be extra.

All original 1974 all valve WEM Clubman Mark 9 combo 5 watt. This is a great little valve practice or recording amp. This has also been used for guitar and breaks up nicely at volume. A great little British classic amp. I'm looking at 120 collected. Its in great condition the pots are a bit scratchy and the silver metal fascia under the controls was lost years ago - other than that no issues, very clean inside with valves labelled and a nice original 10'' speaker.

[quote name='ash' post='1257524' date='Jun 5 2011, 05:46 PM']That's fair enough although this is built better than any Ric methinks![/quote] bump

[quote name='fender' post='1257144' date='Jun 5 2011, 09:57 AM']Will have a think...give me a couple of days. Prefer an outright sale on the GWB, to put towards an original Ric (TBH). But it certainly looks a nice bass.[/quote] That's fair enough although this is built better than any Ric methinks!

[quote name='Geddys nose' post='1254799' date='Jun 2 2011, 11:19 PM']These are true tone machines and IMO are built/sound better than a real Ric.[/quote] Yep it really has great tone and is a wonderful player - still interested in trades - especially 5 strings or vintage synths! Cheers
