I bought this recently on a bit of a whim as it was Selmer (what's not to like!) and it's my Y.O.B and now I'm getting an itch for a larger valve head. Stupid really for someone who has sought for the tiniest usable bass setup for years! It's the micro head of the time though. It's very small for a valve head 30.5x18.5x8.5 cm approx . 30w of power into an 8ohm load. Point to point wiring. Not heavy, I've not weighed it but it feels less than the TB500 I used to own. Think they are 12lb. Many differing opinions on giggability, here and on the net. Boils down to the type of band and cone area in my opinion. Two channels. Very clean warm sound with my JV P 57. I've had it serviced by Dave Pye of Lancaster (formerly from Fulwood, Preston). He changed a couple of bits and bobs that were causing a weird sound on higher volumes and cleaned the crackly volume pot (which still isn't 100% but assures me it will be fine with more use). It's not bad though. May trade for higher wattage valve head or Barefaced cab, Midget or Compact preferably. Reasonable amount of cash your way. Also, have a few other things up for sale/trade to throw in the mix. Would be about £15 to post or collection and demo from Blackburn, Lancs (preferred as I'm not too sure about shipping valve gear). Please note that I do not have an 8ohm cab here. You would have to bring your own or use my 4ohm, which I've been assured is OK to do so. Will get more pics up if needs be.

Bump. Nearly put it up for sale but item I was interested in has gone.

I absolutely love these combos. The best combo ever made in my opinion. I've gone for lighter weight or I'd be knocking on tour door! Set everything flat and play with the magic enhance knob and it's all you will ever need. Every bass player needs to try these at least once. GLWTS.

The only Jazz neck I can liken it to was on a USA Highway One. It's the volute ( think that's what it's called! Learned that from a BC'er yesterday!) that's the problem for me. My JV doesn't have one nor my Westone Thunder 2 so to speak and so I'm not used to that particular profile. The neck on this one is just a run of the mill standard neck from my experience. Marc S, I'll PM you.

[quote name='Mexicola88' timestamp='1508148986' post='3390016'] Hi - is this a regular jazz neck and is it original? - any dents or pings? - where are you based? Cheers [/quote] I'm in Blackburn Lancs. Standard Jazz neck with no dings or pings when I last saw it on Saturday!

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1507234786' post='3384191'] Explain PLEK'D for those who don't know what it is.... (ok me then ) [/quote] Voodoo. It's Voodoo!

[quote name='Radchenko' timestamp='1508106889' post='3389838'] Could you sell only the body and parts of the body? [/quote] Sorry but ideally, I'd like to keep the body and parts and trade the neck.

Added trades - BF Compact or Midget. Maybe similar but must me lightweight. I bought this recently from this very forum and it really is a great playing and sounding bass. 2015 and in great shape. I'm sure it's less than 9lb as it only feels slightly heavier than my P Bass that weighs 8.3lb. I can't weigh it at the moment as it's in the rehearsal room. Problem with it (for me) is the neck. Absolutely nothing wrong with it but I prefer skinny Jazz necks, more like the Classic Vibe with no volute.. I've been spoiled by my JV P that's really shallow, especially at the nut and anything fatter than that now just feels uncomfortable. The neck is not a baseball bat by any stretch of the imagination though, just not shallow enough for me. A neck trade would be ideal, maybe someone out there wants a more standard neck? Otherwise, would consider trades for another Fender/Squier Jazz or a P/J combination as long as the neck is shallow and it weighs less than 9lb! Maybe even a CV with cash adjustment? Would much prefer to trade at the moment (cash either way), unless something crops up for sale. I've used the original sellers pics (hope you don't mind [center]Vmaxblues?[/center]) as I've no access to it at the moment. It's in the same condition though.

I might be misreading the ad but how much is it reduced to? Can only see the original price?

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1507060732' post='3383143'] Cheers Dunc, massively kind of you Mr. Hope I can take you up on that. I will try & get something sorted Ben. Many thanks guys. [/quote] Offer still open here Karl.

There is no way I could hide this from Mrs itsmedunc! What a shame. GLWTS.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1506623076' post='3380044'] I know, it's frustrating but where I'm working at the moment, I simply can't have deliveries or collections This would have been sold 5 times if I could courier. [/quote] May be no help at all but if you can get it to mine (or I'll meet you somewhere), I'll do the postage or collection bit for you Karl. Might cost you a pint at some point in your life though!

And another great bass for sale! The necks are great on these. Very shallow for a P. Certainly not a club like many of the USA around at the time. Excellent balance too. Love mine and can't imagine ever selling it now. A replacement would have to be really really special. GLWTS

Hadn't had much of a chance to play a MIM Jazz until recently. Took one to rehearsals (with a new band) today and everyone commented on how good it sounded. Plays great too. This has to be a bargain. GLWTS
