Mid 2020 I bought this as a new Squier CV series Jazz bass., and set about my own little personal tribute Geddy Lee bass. Firstly the CV series are really rather good and ha a vintage tint on the neck, 70's pickup positioning to start with, but I set about some choice changes: Badass II bridge - as per the Geddy Lee original Tom Brantley Pickups - The fella who supplied pickups for Geddy's number 1 bass, no better pedigree. (can be swapped over to Dimarzio dp122 if you like) CTS pots, cloth wiring, Fender Jazz knobs, Fender 'F' neckplate. Pearloid scratchplate and Alchemy sticker (appeared on the clockwork angels tour) Bass weighs in at 9 and a half lbs, by my bathroom scales, All in all I have about £500 into this so I think £395 is a good price to sell. Body has a couple of little scuffs on, nothing through to the wood or anything serious. Happy to ship using UPS insured at buyers cost.

Pictures, weight, colour, condition, fret life ...info a prospective buyer needs..

pickups were maida vale..

Still have counselling as to why I sold my Geddy CIJ...🤨 Fugi Gen builds are amazingly good so much so I bought a FGN! GLWTS!

yep

9lbs or approx 4kgs

Cool. Same backing plate as the schallers i had on a fender. But they were marked so possibly gotoh as you say. Either way good kit.

Exactly..when i saw it i had to make it a player..

Agggghhh! KICKASS not kick donkey

Now £350 Are you sitting comfortably..? then i'll begin A few years back the fine people at Enfield/SIMS were selling off some stuff from their workshop. This is one of those things. Its was a P bass body with about 2mm skimmed off the face and an Acrylic cracked mirror facing expertly applied. The 21 fret (yay high E!) neck is Maple and the headstock was modified to give a more old school p bass vibe. Hardware was a knackered old BBOT bridge and no electronics. The Back is gloss black by the SIMS paint shop. I started out by cleaning and doing a set up to see of the neck was any good etc. Turned out the heel of the neck had to be reduced by a couple of mm, which i did (probably due to the skim from the front for the acrylic changing the neck pocket presentation). I also tidied the headstock the Nitro varnished the back of the neck and knocked it back to give a very smooth and non sticky feel. On the body I installed a Kick-donkey (edit KICKASS) bridge, my go to p bass pickups the Dimarzio DP122 (adjustable pole pieces., high output, great tone), Copper shielded control cavity, CTS pots, orange cap and cloth wiring. The machine heads are un-stamped but are very good quality. Suspect they are Schaller or similar definitely not a Chinese £15 a set! I tried a few scratchplates and settled on the mirror one you see here. Weight: approx 9lbs or 4kgs.. The bass now plays great, warm hi output and looks the nuts, or at least looks unique! I have gigged it a good few times an it always generates positive comments. It certainly has 'mojo' and plays great, truss rod is free and adjustable, plenty of room to manoeuvre on the saddles for low/hi action. There are scratches on the back and one dint in keeping I guess from a guitar that sat around in a workshop for a good while Condition is subjective I guess as its seen some life not road aged or heavily knocked about but there are a few dints here and there, but show room isn't what this bass is about. It's unique characterful and lets face it Shiny! So to sum up this is a very nice p bass, you definitely wont see another, plays well, choice hardware and all for the price of a Squier... Some pictures...apologies is needs a wipedown edit: just run some polish over the back, and most of the scuffs have polished out..last pic of back updated.

I can vouch for said pickups. The Bareknuckle rewind on the bridge was brilliant, they worked hard to replicate the choice of wire/windings etc. Perfect. Great traditional and well respected pickups. Can recommend.

i think they do...

Bought new late last Year from Andertons here we have my G & L Kiloton in root beer translucent finish over a Mahogony body, with Maple neck. Additionally I have added a hipshot detuner. This is effectively new (few light scratches on the scratchplate). Basically it like a passive stingray, massive output, great instrument.

If only I could work out a trade...from my pile of guitars and cabs...I so want this bad boy back!.lol

oops i know...should have PM'd you

dont fancy a trade against an amp perhaps?

Nice little combo based around the 250 Blackline amp. n good all round condition. I have owned this a couple of years and it's great for rehearsals and small gigs due to the lightweight construction and Neo speaker. I have replaced the amp last year because the original had a short on the motherboard. Its a simple drop in so nothing to write home about. Dead amp (useful for spares if ever needed) comes with sale if wanted. Any questions please ask...

MarkBass 250w head(4 Ohms) or 150w (8 Ohms). Nice 250w head great tonal range with the Milleriser gain option. I bought this only to realise a lightweight higher p[owered cab with my stage amp would just as well for me, so now surplus to requirement. Excellent condition.
