  1. [quote name='Grahambythesea' timestamp='1483675410' post='3209209'] Never understood why Yamaha discontinued these, they look brilliant. How's the tones from the magnetic pickup? [/quote] Hello, since I bought it for a project that never started I just plugged it 2 times to see if sounds and works as it should. Everything works fine. It's all you can expect from a good sounding semiacoustic bass, nice tone. I never understood that too. I was hunting for a bass like this years ago and have quite some difficulties to find it and the went to buy a Washburn, but the Yamaha in my opinion sound better.

  3. On Sale here a Sadowsky UV Metro Series from 2008. Ash body and maple neck. The bass has been played a lot, so if you're looking for a "hardcase queen mint bass" that's not the bass for you. Here's the short story of how I got it: the bass was bought via ebay from a guy in England. In the description the seller wrote that the bass had some "light scratches" due to normal usage. It was an auction, I won it an the bass arrived. Sadly, when the bass arrived, those "light scratches" were seriuous scars and hits on the "lower part" of the body... in the area of the imput jack.The "light scatches" are indeed present on the body. But there was no word for those damages. After a dispute (I have all the emails) with the seller we have agreed to settle the things down so he paid for the repair job and it was done by a very talented luthier from my Country (I can provide the contact of the luthier too). The bass was repaired (repainted in the area of the imput jack). The string holder (rusty) was replaced and the knobs (oxidated) were also replaced. I was fortunate enough to find a nice Basschatter who gave me the VTC one (the last stacked knob on the Sadowsky). The other ones are not original. I will provide all the original parts with the bass. Also, the neck is "dark" from the usage as some maple neck become. I really have NO IDEA what the previous owner did with the bass and to be sincere I was quite shocked when I received, but as soon as I've plugged it the bass sounded massive. Like a true Sadowsky should. Even the luthier told me that the electronics are flowless (thank God). Said so, after the repair, I took the bass for a tour this summer (around 50 gigs) and played it almost exclusively. There were absoultely NO problems at all. The neck is straight, tuning perfect, no buzzing. Why am I selling it ? Soundwise and projectwise these days I'm in a hunt for a more modern sounding bass so this one has to go (I do have another Sadowsky at home). There's absolutely no other reason. The price is set accordingly to the state of the instrument and includes the expenses that I've paid to adjust it properly and somehow in line with the European market. I hope that interested buyers keep in mind my sincirety in exposing the instrument status so please no absurd proposes and I'm really not looking for a trade here. The price is negotiable. Also I can provide additional photos of the repair process to serious buyers. Please, no time wasters. If you don't have a serious will to buy it don't write. Thanks The bass is located in Slovenia and I can ship it at buyers costs. Thank you
  4. For sale here a Fender Precision 62 reissue in aged white. The bass is from 1993 and it was a players bass so there are some scratches and dings but the neck is straight and it plays beautifully. On the photos you can see it with the white pickguard (which I will provide with the bass) but the bass currently mounts a tortoise pickguard. I can ship it at buyers cost and the price is negotiable. Thanks

  6. I'm going to keep this one. The thread can be closed. Thanks for looking.
  7. Hello, Here's for sale or trade a Fender Jazz Bass 1961 Custom Shop 2012 Closet Classic (made only in that year and no longer in production). This is a reissue of the jazz bass made in 1961 with stacked knobs (volume and tone for every pickup). Amazing sound and very good condition (please note that it's a relic!). The bass comes with original hardshell case (never used outside home), and bridge, pickup covers (never used also and unmounted immediatly) plus the Fender Custom Shop certificate. Speaking about trades I'm seeking a jazz bass (custom shop or vintage or until '69) with the "classic" electronics configuration (volume volume tone), a MTD 535 or a Lakland 55-94 (earlier years). I am willing to listen to other proposals also (same level as my bass...) The bass is located in Slovenia and I'm willing to ship it in EU.
