Bought a Mark Bass CMD101 off Andy. Great fella to deal with and a total gent. Trade with confidence!

I had the DB500, the 1x15 version. I loved it but I really wanted the 900!

I have an SB5000, too. They’re seriously underrated basses! There must only be a handful of them in the UK, too. GLWTS

I recently sold a bass to a guy in the US. I used UPS booked through interparcel. All went very smoothly.

It’s the same process as normal but along with the address label there will also be a Commercial Invoice (or Customs Invoice) form to print out and fill in. You’ll need to attach 3 copies of this to the package along with the address label.

Any Import duty to be paid at the other end is down to the purchaser.

Thanks, fella!

Hi, 

anyone have any experience/advice with regards to selling and transporting gear to US?

TIA.

Just curious - what's the thing between the neck pickup and the bridge (2nd pic)?

 

Edit: Nevermind - some googling says it's a brass strip between the bridge pup and the bridge for grounding.

That’s too cheap for a Japanese 62 re-issue. Should have been snapped up by now as these are brilliant basses.

Have a bump from me.

It is! Cheers!

It's mad that this bass is still here!
Every Japan Fender I've ever played has been an amazing bass. I've got 2 Japan Jazzes currently (fretted & fretless) and they're both superb instruments
I like the neck profile on them, the necks feel lovely, and they're both very lightweight, in comparison to other Jazzes I've played & owned.
If I needed a Jazz right now - at that price, this would be mine

Cheers Marc!

I agree on all counts! The neck is lovely and slim, the action nice and low, it plays like butter and sounds fabulous. It’s a shame that it doesn’t get played anymore, which is the only reason I’m letting it go.

It is! I’m in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

I used a Carvin B1500 through mine. Holy Moly....!

Mate of mine has one with the extension cab. He absolutely loves it. 

Just realised this thread is a year old😳

I would try to find a Genz Benz NX2-12T, they’re great. Faital Pro speakers, 600 watts @4 ohms, one hand carry and I’ve seen them second hand for 300 quid. In fact, if I ever started gigging again I’d be looking for one to replace the one I sold.

Dan bought my Carvin B1500, great to do business with and a thoroughly nice chap to boot! 

Should be do-able, yeah. I’ve dropped you a pm.

Top man!

Simply that, how do I relist an item that I previously removed from sale, using an edited version of the original ad?

Thanks.

Very nice looking Jazz. Does it have the big ugly rout under the scratch-plate, or just the pickup slots?

It’s just the pickup slots, so great if you want to go all “Jaco...”

Where the paint has chipped off, if you slightly press with your thumb nail and it feels soft then it's probably Basswood. Basswood is a very soft wood and also its lighter in color, like ash almost. Alder is normally a richer red color, slightly darker. Also you will have more neck dive with a basswood body as it's a very light wood but on the flip side if you have a bad shoulder or back then this will be a lighter bass to play when standing up.

Cheers Joe, 

did the thumb nail check, didn’t make a mark at all, very hard wood. Looks quite dark and balances beautifully, so all points to alder.

Hi there does it have the tuners with the smaller rectangular back plates or the full size versions? Thanks 

Hi Ash, full size.

Hi, nice lloking bass

Is the body wood alder of basswood?

Cheers, Joe.

No way of saying for sure, I know most Japanese Fenders were made from basswood but a lot from alder. It looks to my eyes like alder, the grain is quite visible and I believe basswood has less visible grain to it. Having said that I've seen plenty of alder bodies with barely any grain to them. However, it's also quite light, which points to basswood. Either way, it sounds, plays and looks fab!
