And a swift little bump to advertise it's re-advertising...

Bump...

Vintage and Rare prices are very distorted on the upside but these have certainly gone up a bit since the Pound went down the toilet. I think the bottom line is that if you are about to buy a new Fender for a grand, this would be a much wiser choice, I've had a 76 and a 98 US Fender and this creams them in every respect...apart from being a bit scratched ha ha

This is a very nice bass and here's a Saturday bump...

Unfortunately I'm only up for cash as I have a custom fretless on order...which might also be a battered jazz bass!

This very cool Nash jazz bass is for sale through basschat and the Gallery in North London. Price is 1200 in the Gallery. Of course, if we deal direct it's ONO. PM me...

Am willing to post unlike before.

Here's a demo on Youtube...

Specs are

Alder Body
Flame Maple neck
Very nice streaky rosewood board
Nitro paint job with vintage correct silver undercoat and Candy Apple Red top coat
Usual relic'd Nash style vintage hardware e.g. reverse tuners
This is a church gig relic - not too extreme but definitely weathered
Recently set up at the Gallery.
Medium weight - 9.5 lbs on my scales...
Comes with Nash semi-soft case

My God that was quick...

I've ogled from the sidelines with this one including the last time it was sold...I plan one day to get a maple with pearl blocks jazz and this model will be the one. My first bass was a Japanese copy of this type of bass (albeit with black blocks) and I vow one day to have a real one!

Incidentally a while ago I too sold a 1976, rosewood board, pearl blocks and binding Fender J for 400 quid through Andy's. It sounded great but weighed about 2 tonnes so I'm not too regretful...

I use a Realist on my Bryant solobass into a Markbass head with a Berg 12 inch cab. The sound is full, very deep and woody, but I'm sure I can improve it by adding a mic. I am seriously considering getting a RE20 to mix it against. It's very interesting to know that's what Avishai Cohen uses....

I'm in South London...a bit of a trek unfortunately...

4.5k not a lot for a good luthier built db...

I'll post some more pics of the rest of it in a sec...

And a bump for this one...

Hi,

I have a beautiful Zon Six String with Spalt Maple Top, Swamp Ash body, Bart pups with McKeen Preamp (I also have the original polyfusion). Love the bass but don't really need the lo B.

Anyone fancy trading their high end Five String for it? I'm looking for a high end fiver e.g. Zon, Ken Smith (or similar) as a trade (or even a Wal or Fodera with money attached?) Only real stipulation is that it is 34" scale (or less if it's a fodera ). I'm looking to string it E to C.

I'm in London.

Cheers

Nick

Thanks

Just seeing whether Sims do nitro.

I need a refinish job on a bass that will involve a strip (ooer). However, I've got into nitro finishes in a big way recently and want to find someone who can do a good nitro finish.

Anyone ever had any work done at Mansons in Exeter?

I'm based in London...

Nick

Good question...it's difficult to value these basses on the Brit market as there are so few around. I think 1400 makes sense as a ballpark value.

Cheers,

Argh...too lovely! Withdrawn...

Bump for my old bass. It would be back with me if I had the funds.

I'd just like to point out it's not a plain vanilla sonus, it's the Sonus Special. And it's VERY special. The single coils are tweaked back towards the bridge to bring out more mid presence. As a result it has the most FANTASTIC singing mwah tone. Brilliant sustain etc Widely acknowledged as one of the best fretless designs out there...
