Price drop to £900...

Bump!

Bump!!

I'm around most of this weekend if anybody wants to give it a try?

[quote name='DiMarco' timestamp='1463125116' post='3048745'] I also have that John East pre in my Japanese MM sig. It turned a great bass into an awesome one! Being able to add some weight in the mid frequencies, at a frequency you can select (it has sweep) is something all Jazz Basses should have. The pre also boosts treble at a different frequency then where it cuts. You notice how awesome this is only within the band mix. Finally, the passive tone control added by this pre turns the MM Jazz into a jack of all trades. My pickups are Lollars so I can't judge those SD basslines but only heard good things about them. Asking price for the bass may seem high to some but is totally realistic since the upgrades done put it in a different league. Good luck selling this beauty! [/quote] That extra tone knob is a game-changer! Makes me want that preamp in all my basses! Plus I really like having 1 volume and a blend on a jazz bass. So much easier to dial in the sound you want. The Basslines are definitely better than the original pickups (one of which just died one day). I was thinking about sticking some Aguilars in there. If it doesn't sell maybe I'll try that too!

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1463082834' post='3048496'] Erm…. you played for Omar.? Wow my soul hero. sorry to derail. [/quote] I did a couple of shows with him yes. Was a big treat to play THAT bassline for real

*SOLD* PRICE DROP £850 I've thought long and hard about this one, and I think it's time to part with my beloved Marcus Miller Jazz bass. It's one of the original Japanese ones, not the Mexican ones, so it's quite weighty (about 5kg according to my luggage scales). They don't make these anymore. It's in fantastic condition. The original pickups stop working a few years ago so I had them replaced with Seymour Duncan Basslines. More recently I had John East install one of his excellent J-Marcus preamps (he installed it himself; see the pics!) which has opened up a world of tonal possibilities. I've used it on tour with The Duckworth Lewis Method and Omar and it sounded great in both bands. Selling because I have finally realised that I just can't really get on with jazz basses (I have a Deluxe five string up for sale here too). I'd really prefer collection or am willing to meet up/deliver within reasonable distances rather than risk the post. The last thing I posted out via MyHermes disappeared off the face of the earth and I would hate this bass to go astray. Located in Peckham, SE London. I also travel around a lot playing so may well be able to meet up further afield. Comes in a gigbag. Looking for £850. No trades unless you have an early (preferably 80s) Warwick Streamer Stage 1.

Absolutely stunning bass...

*** SOLD! ***

PRICE DROP £900!! Selling this lovely 2008 Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass 5. Only had it for a few months but I think 5-string Fenders are just not for me. Picked it up at Wunjo's on Denmark Street. Plays great and looks fantastic in a natural finish with the tortoiseshell pickguard. One little screw missing from one of the tuners (doesn't affect the tuner) and one ding on the side, shown in the pics. £900. No trades thanks! * SOLD * [attachment=218793:IMG_0021.jpg] [attachment=218794:IMG_0022.jpg] [attachment=218795:IMG_0023.jpg] [attachment=218796:IMG_0024.jpg] [attachment=218797:IMG_0025.jpg]

*** SOLD ***

It's certainly never gonna become anyone's main bass but it is great fun and guaranteed to turn heads on a gig...

Check out Les Claypool playing his... https://youtu.be/eWRn80UOsqw

[color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Right. I'm selling my Whamola folks. Bought for a project a few years ago, this is a proper Whamola made by the Whamola Labs guy in Portland, Oregon. Beautiful hand-made one-stringed bass with a massive whammy bar. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]If you're a Les Claypool fan, you know about these.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]This is the standard model. Rare as hen's teeth in the UK, very possibly because they cost a small fortune to ship over here. [/size][/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#141823][size=3]Pickup from Peckham or I could possibly meet you somewhere or deliver within a reasonable distance and no trades thanks; selling to raise some cash for some studio bits and plugins. sad but true.[/size][/color][/font] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Here's some pics...[/size][/font][/color] [attachment=205275:IMG_0017.JPG] [attachment=205276:IMG_0018.JPG] [attachment=205277:IMG_0019.JPG] [attachment=205278:IMG_0020.jpg]

*SOLD!*

[quote name='sleevey' timestamp='1433736035' post='2793443'] These are killer basses.......GLWTS!! [/quote] It's been my main bass for the last ten years. I'll be sorry to see it go but I've just got an Infinity plus another Lakland five string so need to re-balance the basses!

Sunday lunchtime bump. Still here folks. If it doesn't sell soon it'll be off to the Gallery for commission sale action... Make me an offer!

So I bought that bass I mentioned... Hence the bump! £950 now folks

So I bought that bands I mentioned... Hence the bump!

Bump! Still available folks. No trades though thanks; had a few offers but I really need the cash to fund a new bass Ive put a deposit on. Woops!
