Replied + ... didn't realise that this is a unit from our own KiOgon (John) who PM'd to say ' I can see that's one of my kits & if any buyer wants to know - I offer full backup & any help/advice fitting if they need it. It only needs a terminal block on the 3 wires to make it solderless connections too! They're £75/80 from me usually so £45 is a bargain for someone IMO.' (thanks for John for the PM and OK'ing me adding these details)....

[size=2][b]Brand new John East j-retro for jazz bass. Original packaging c/w electrostatic sleeve, wiring diagrams and installation instructions. Custom flat response (as supplied to Overwater) version[/b][/size][size=2] It has vol, blend, bass/treble pull for bright stack, passive tone with active/passive push-pull.[/size][color=black][size=2]similar functionality and in fact looks cleaner, as there are no micro switches.[/size][/color][size=2]The four control knobs are as follows:1. Volume2. Pan3. Stacked Bass and Treble (With a push/pull bright function)4. Passive/Vintage Tone Control (push/pull active or passive)When in the 'in' position, the fourth control acts as a passive tone control, with the Bass/Treble stack redundant. Then when pulled to the 'out' position the 2 band active circuitry is activated and the control becomes an additional vintage tone control[/size][size=2]It's a similar design/concept to the J Retro / J Retro Deluxe replacement circuits but simpler to use (no micro switches). Fits all vintage style Jazz basses with a side mounted Jack (standard front mounted Jack basses require modification). [b]The unit does have solderless connections for the pickups.[/b] This is boxed, comes with battery clip and Jack socket etc. £149 (incl) obo. SOLD[/size]

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1443010286' post='2871392'] I did message the guy with what I know about these, to his credit he's published my message. Hasn't re-worded the actual listing or its title, though...J. [/quote] .. numerous, gradually decreasing relists but with continued claim to this being MIJ :- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EKO-Camac-THRU-NECK-Bass-Guitar-MADE-IN-JAPAN-Matsumoku-/121766261471?hash=item1c59d5b2df http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EKO-Camac-THRU-NECK-Bass-Guitar-MADE-IN-JAPAN-Matsumoku-/121772587816? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EKO-Camac-THRU-NECK-Bass-Guitar-MADE-IN-JAPAN-Matsumoku-/121780213156? -

Custom Jazz Bass, described as "absolutely amazing, having been put together by Loueiro, a Galician luthier that worked for Jerzy Drozd"..:-[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/258146-custom-jazz-bass-sonic-blue-with-matching-headstock-duncan-pickups-and-high-end-parts-traded/page__fromsearch__1"] http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] Any questions about the bass, please PM. I have no proof of the build but the components do match with those listed. There is no longer a case or the additional parts (including the neck pickup cover) but the bass is otherwise as shown in the photos etc.The bass does play/sound really good. Powerful and with a low, even action. Stays in tune perfectly.Price includes obo and Courier.

EKO Camac - Italian, or Japanese ??

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1442937797' post='2870773'] There was a thread about this when it was first listed a few months back. Despite the similarities to many through-neck MIJ basses, these were Italian, variations on Eko's BX basses built for Camac, which appears to have been a German label: [url="http://www.fetishguitars.com/eko/eko-the-final-years/eko-camac/"]http://www.fetishgui...ears/eko-camac/[/url] This particular bass appears to have had its body shape modified at some point, I'm fairly confident it was the standard Eko BX shape when it was made. The seller seems to assume it's an MIJ because of the through-neck construction, which he presumably thinks was invented by & exclusive to Matsumoku. Someone should show him an Alembic. Jon. [/quote] [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1442938891' post='2870784'] Seem to remember Eko having something to do with Welson which were an Italian manufacturer or distributor. They may have been built in the same factory but sold under different names... [/quote] Thanks Jon/dunc - really helpful. Some interesting responses from the current (re) seller re. origin and why it's been relisted so quickly :- "[color=#231f20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][left]...Personally I think its made in Japan. But as there is no online information at all I am only making this guess based on my own knowledge of 80's guitars....... " & :-[/left][/size][/font][/color] "....No reason other than its was too cheap not to flip. Clearly too rare for most people's set searches to find on eBay......" -
Interesting List/re-List of this bass:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-Guitar-EKO-CAMAC-Fretless-/252085081982?hash=item3ab171177e I sent a question re. the name (EKO I know - Italian? - but what was the 'Camac'??) but received no reply from the original seller (based in my area). The relist (using the same photos of the bass - bought only a week ago; bit of a cheek?) states that it's Japanese:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EKO-Camac-THRU-NECK-Bass-Guitar-MADE-IN-JAPAN-Matsumoku-/121766261471?hash=item1c59d5b2df Does anybody on BC know this/these instruments

Qparts P/J Relic 60's Bridge. (new). Threaded type saddles. All original/new and complete with aged screws (5). Looks old but all new unit so works perfectly (no dodgy screw-heads etc). Bought from USA for an old project but not eventually used. Don't see many Q-Parts here, other than the high-end knobs generally available. Price includes P&P.

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=3]All Original other than a few of the p/guard screws[/size].[/font][/size][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Weight is 8[sup]1/2[/sup]lbs. Plays great, no issues, other than it appears that it's life has been spent with a slightly mis-aligned bridge (see photos). Could be re-positioned, but the slotted saddles make it possible to get the strings 'right'. Lots of 'mojo' although mostly to the body edges. Front, back and neck are pretty good for a 32 year-old bass. Postage incl. SOLD[/font][/size]
