Looks what's coming to Leicestershire next week 🙂 

 

The lovely BB1200.....

I bought this bass over 15 years ago and it has been tucked away for so long that I forgot all about it, the guy whom I bought it

from never really played it and as such its in top class conditio bar a few minor dents pictured. The brass has tarnished over time

but its an eighties classic MIJ, the woods used are beautiful

The very top frets buzz a little and will need sorted but in the right hands it should not be a problem, I will include the very heavy case

that came with it.

Even the plastic protection on the back of the tuners is still on

18v active circuitry that can be switched to passive and a series/parallel switch

Managed to snag a very clean pewter 614, I’ve been waiting for one to come up.

 

now I need to flog the fender I have up for sale and get back to my BB playing 

Good to have you back Andy...😏

Nice early 80's SQ Precision in black

The pups have been changed out to Thumpers which sound much better, old ones dumped by previous owner

Loom had been upgraded as well

Some wear to the top frets but plenty of life in them

Neck is nice and straight with a good action, no buzz

Truss rod turns as it should

weight is 4.2 Kg's

Nut width 42mm

Bridge upgraded to good quality Schaller Bass2000 fully adjustable, original will go with it

Fitted with strap lock buttons

In overall good condition with some dents and swirls here and there

I dont know if the cover is original or not but it came with it

Some dents to the back of the neck but ave been smoothed out so nice satin finish and fast

I dont have a case for it but may have a foam type case for a bit extra but will be well packaged for transport

Well respected basses and almost on a par with the JV but not as accurate but built to Fenedr specs of that era

Any question please fire away

@briansbrew is this preamp 9v or 18v?

 

I have a 1996 Deluxe Jazz with noisy pots that are not responding to normal TLC. This may be a drop in replacement.

It has 2 battery clips so 18v but can run on 9v if I remember correctly

I will have these please

I bought a Power P Bass from Phil, smooth operation all the way...deal with confidence

Thanks Phil 😎

Question... is this V/V, stacked B&T and mids?

Also, do you know if this can be removed from the plate in order to fit a rear mount cavity - which is what I have

 

Many thanks

Julian

Hi Julian,

You are correct about the knobs, as for the cavity you will have to allowa bit of room for the printed circuit board, hope that helps

Ibanez basses from this era are true quality instruments and basically bulletproof.  I had '79 active Roadster bass that I used for rehearsals 10 years ago, lived in the back of the guitarist's farmers Landy, along with hay bales, horse feed and sundry other detritus (in it's battered old case) and never put a foot wrong and near enough still in tune every time. Epic!  It did acquire an unfortunate slight niff of the farmyard though and when I came to shift it on, I had to let the original case go and air it out for a couple of weeks...Great basses and the Studios have so much flexibility in terms of sound.

Lovely story von braun, these basses can do so much like you say...

Was this prefinished or done by yourself Adrian, is it a glos or satin finish...

Just bought a Fander jazz from Paul and he very kindly took it to @AndyTravis gaff, what more could you ask. And Andy very kindly got it all packaged up for the courier, that what I love about this forum..😍

Thanks Guys

For sale (no trade offers please) a Modern Player Jazz bass in black. This bass has been through the hands of a few forum folks . I think @AndyTravismay have rescued this from a studio and breathed new life into it with the new neck and tuners?? Then I inherited it from @eadin a trade. 

Hardly any signs of wear at all that I can find.

 

The new jazz neck is fantastic. It's a roasted maple type with a lovely satin finish on the back. Rock solid hipshot tuners. Four way toggle switch on the pickups. Just go to YouTube for a quick overview of the four settings. I preferred it using full humbucker mode at the neck combined with single coil at the bridge. 

 

I didn't have to do much with it really apart from get it properly set up (nut needed fixing up)  and add new strings. All good now. 

 

Tricky to price (for me anyway). £550 to 600 on Reverb???

 

Collection from Manchester although I'm happy to drive 45/60 minutes to meet halfway if someone is going to buy it. Welcome to try it here at my house through my practice amp. 

 

PS sticker is only on the scratch plate. I'll remove it and clean up any residue before collection. 

What is the access at the back for
