CMI Jazz Bass MIJ '70s This is an old CMI branded Jazz type bass, I've also seen basses similar to this branded Grant, Maya, etc. It's actually a nice playing bass with a good neck and low action. There are experts on this forum who may know what factory it originated from. I'd guess that CMI could be Cleartone Musical Instruments - a distributor or importer's brand. The electrics are original although the bridge pickup is quite weak in comparison to the neck which produces a good strong sound. The sunburst finish is rather nice with only a couple of dings at the back, the neck is excellent, frets good, binding intact, working truss rod. The body is heavy but it's probably ply with a veneer as many of these copies were constructed. It's just over 9lbs in weight and balances well. Ashtrays are long gone though the thumb rest is there. It comes with an old strap but nothing else.

And up again - lovely bass at a bargain price

Thanks folks Yes it's a great bass - fine example of what Fender can produce - I think it's a fair price too.

I'll have them pm me with your PayPal address

I'm in Lancaster

And that's because they are tremendous basses Tom. I love my old Grabber 1 bass I would love this too

I have a rather nice fiesta red Roadworn bass in excellent - Roadworn - condition. It comes with a gig bag. Plays very nice indeed with a low action. It's an early model from 2008. Pickup preferred but I can post in the UK for around £20. Now strung with Fender nickel round wounds 40-100. The nut width is a bit too skinny for me as I prefer a wider neck. I'm not looking for trades as my GAS is firmly attached to something else. These basses are fantastic quality and this one sounds lovely. It has a couple of tiny bumps to the back of the neck but nothing to break the lacquer or get in the way of playing. Pics now added. Sold thanks

It's nice although the 6 screw neck plate and headstock logo are non standard, is there any history? I think a few of us would be interested if you would be prepared to courier it. 😉

Lovely bass I gave a 70's BB1000 bolt on - build quality is amazing!

I have this lovely 1994 reissue of a 1963 Hofner Violin bass. It has a beautiful flame to the back and is in excellent cosmetic and functional condition with an easy action up the scale. It's currently strung with Rotosound 77 flats and has that warm 60's sound. The bass comes with hard shaped case and certificate. It has been strung right handed and the scratchplate has been removed but is included. These reissues are hand made in Germany and were manufactured to a high standard - not to be confused with the HCT or Ignition series this is the real deal! A strap button has been added at the neck heel so a standard strap - rather than the original 'dog lead' strap - can be used. Excellent condition some finish wear on the neck - see pics - with only a few minor dings and lacquer marks. Major price drop to £600 . Now sold thanks.

Still for sale a deposit was talked about but nothing since so it's still here will amend

I take it that the serial number is on the neck plate? Cheers
