    Would like to concur with above. Recent transaction was best I have has on Basschat. The man is a gent and a scholar. He even delivered personally at no charge (terms and conditions apply - I live near his mum!).

    [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Beautiful example of this British-made active 90s classic 'active SuperJazz.' with alder body finished in stunning ice blue. Cost £1399 when first introduced. [/color][/font]Yours for just £649.

    [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]Controls are separate volumes plus (in active mode - via mini toggle switch) tone and a boost that affects both Hyperactive single-coil pickups. A third hum-cancelling one resides under the scratchplate.[/color][/font]



    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Ergonomic headstock with first-class Status branded hardware.[/font][/color]



    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It has a little, unnoticeable while playing, wear on the back of the neck (below) and a small dent below the jack plug that has not gone thru to the wood (seen in second pic). Otherwise in fantastic condition for its age and looks great.[/font][/color]

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Neck is 24 frets and is [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]graphite reinforced three-piece maple[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]. 35" scale, 17.5mm string spacing at bridge.[/font][/color]




    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]When I bought it the battery holder terminal seemed faulty. I gave it to my luthier and he replaced this, then gave it a good clean, re-strung it, set it up and returned it. The result is a fabulous bass with the wow factor, too good for a confirmed four-stringer like me...[/font][/color]

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I will be travelling through France, Switzerland and Germany in a week or so's time, so personal delivery may be possible.[/font][/color]

    [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]Sorry, no trades. Hard case pictured not included.[/color][/font]

    Never would have guessed Jenny Haan as BR were one of those bands that passed me by, the only reason I know of them is that they get mentioned in relation to Bernie Marsden but didn't know any other band memebrs by name.[/quote]

    Funnily enough the last line-up with Marsden had a different singer, Ellie Hope. From a pop act, Liquid Gold. Not v good.

    Thanks Jack - direct link works.

    I have recently acquired one of these beauties (5-string) and it's three times as loud as anything else I own!

    Haven't yet decided if I will keep as five strings and me don't always mix - but if I don't I would dearly love to swop it for a four-stringer.

    EXTRA: Having read this now, I take issue with the reviewer that the two controls towards the bridge are active bass and treble. Mine seem to be tone and boost respectively...

    Still v useful review though.
