Bump for price drop!

Bump for the weekend

Hi mate, Sorry for the late reply, been away and thanks for the reply. I cut off very little. The way i measured it was the 'two machine head width' thing. There is still enough for three rows on the tuner when wound to pitch. Sunbeams don't have silks, so no untidy ends. Best regards Freddy

Hello All, I've just started to put on a new set of DR Sunbeams nickel round wound (45-105), only trouble is,they're [b]medium[/b] scale... Doh! These are literally brand new, just received, just opened, just too short! The E is untouched, but the G, D & A have been crimped and cut generously to length. They're boxed and still in the paper envelopes. These are fantastic strings and cost around £30, so [b]£20[/b] (including postage to UK mainland, elsewhere it's £20 plus postage). I just need to try and recover what I've spent. Cheers Freddy

Bump for a Saturday sale?

Hi Folks, Anybody out there fancy trading/swapping a Precision for this wicked active US Deluxe Jazz? Ideally, I'm thinking US Fender, rosewood fingerboard preferred but open to suggestions/offers. Cheers for looking. Freddy

No Worries, Mike. Thanks for the interest. Freddy

Hello mate, Thanks for getting back to me. I'm in Sheffield. You're welcome to come over and try it, mate. I'm available evenings (from 4.30 ish), weekends and Friday afternoons from midday. You can get me on 07946 591 518. Regards Freddy

Marcus, I've PM'd you, mate. Ta Freddy

Thanks Mr Zed! Yeah, it's a top bass, wish I could afford to keep it and buy a P-bass, but... Cheers

Hello! I’m selling my 2006 Fender USA Deluxe Active Jazz Bass which is 3-tone sunburst with a rosewood fingerboard. The bass is in excellent condition with only slight ‘play wear’ to the body (a few light marks on front and rear with a small knock on the edge of the headstock and a few marks on the tuners where the chrome has ‘pitted’ slightly), as you would expect. I have recently bought a Fender tortoise shell pick-guard from the states (it still has the plastic film on it!), but will supply the original mint green/aged white one that came with the bass. It’s light! Weighing around 8.4 lbs, a joy on long sessions, and this is helped by great balance and Hipshot Ultralight tuners assure no neck dive. It also has a soft-heel (5-bolt) neck joint which is great for access to the top frets. The 22 fret rosewood neck is in excellent condition and I have very recently had the frets and nut dressed professionally. This is a classic jazz neck with a fairly flat profile (approx’ 10 inch radius) and has a really comfortable modern ‘C’ shape, which makes it great to play even with small hands like mine! The bass has also had a very recent pro set up with a really low action and it plays like butter, with no dead spots and great sustain. It also features a Posi-flex graphite-reinforced truss rod, which will be useful if you use super-heavy gauge strings. The bass comes with the original Fender molded case (in good condition), long ‘T-bar’ Allen key, other Allen keys and drop tags. I only bought it back in December but I have two Jazz basses already and I need a passive P-bass for the band I've just joined, so with regret, something has to go... This is a superb bass that sounds and plays like a dream. I’m asking £750 (ono) and just trying to get back what I've spent (Or) I would be very interested in a swap/trade for a light-weight precision bass (Fender US, sort of thing...). Thanks for looking.

Hello, I’m having a clear out and selling a dual concentric (stacked) chrome, knurled dome top control knob and two single chrome, knurled dome top control knobs all in mint condition. I’m looking for £15 for all three, posted (UK mainland). Cheers and thanks for looking.

Long shot, mate, but is your jazz still for sale? Freddy

Hello mate Lovely bass! What does it weigh? Thanks Freddy

Hi Antonio, Could you tell me the weight, please? I have a shoulder problem and my Jazz is too heavy! Regards Freddy

Hello Mate, Could you tell me the weight (shoulder problem and my jazz is weighty). Cheers Freddy

Thanks, mate. Just been sold! Thanks to everyone who has sent messages, made offers or just took the time to have a look. Freddy

Any mid week offers out there, folks?

Hello! I'm selling my 2002 Fender Deluxe (US) five string Jazz Bass (Montego Black/maple fretboard). The bass is in great condition with only 'play wear' to the body (a few light marks/scratches on front and rear), as you would expect for it's age. I have had a black scratchplate made, but will supply the original gold one that came with the bass. It's light! Weighing just over 9lbs, it's a joy on long sessions, and this is helped by great balance, light Fender/Hipshot tuners (lighter than Hipshot Ultralights) and no neck dive. It also has a soft-heel (5-bolt) neck joint which is great for access to the top frets. It features [i]Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder[/i] pickups (worth £140) and a [i]John East J-Retro 2[/i] pre-amp (worth £200). This bass sounds superb! One comment that was left when I saw the ad from the previous owner said that it had one of the best slap sounds that person had ever heard and I know what they mean, it's wicked! It's also very versatile, from dub-style 'boom' to nasally mids, punchy and with growl, but roll it back and there's loads of warmth, so both old-school and modern can be easily achieved. Full instructions for the pre-amp are included, but it's really straight forward and easy to use. Also, it's been fully copper- shielded so there is no noise or earthing related issues. The 22 fret maple neck is in excellent condition and I have recently had the frets dressed professionally. It has a fairly flat profile (approx' 10 inch radius) and has a really comfortable 'C' shape, which makes it great to play even with small hands like mine! The bass is set up really low and it plays like butter, with no dead spots and good sustain. The low B string tension is firm even with light gauge strings and doesn't have the 'dullness' problem that some five-strings seem to suffer from. It also features a Posiflex graphite-reinforced truss rod, which will be useful if you use super-heavy gauge strings. Nut width: 48mm String spacing at nut: 7/8mm String spacing at bridge: 17.5mm (adjustable due to grooved saddles) The bass comes with the original Fender moulded case (also in great condition), long 'T-bar' allen key, cloth and literature. I only bought it through Basschat back in March but, regrettably, I need the money ('Child forces sale'…). I'm asking £875 and I'm just trying to get back what I've spent. Somebody please give this baby a good home! Thanks for looking.

Badass bridge, anybody?
