Thanks Barrie! Monday morning bump

Incidentally here is loz' FS thread with some more details than mine (eg, it was made in June 2008) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=100561&hl=lozbass+Alleva"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...=lozbass+Alleva[/url]

Thanks Jack, it was playing your lightweight, superb sounding '66 Fender Precision yesterday that tipped me over the edge and prompted me to renew my longstanding (but never-done-anything-about-it) search for a Y-O-B (1963) Precision

I recently got this from molan (it was previously owned by lozbass, a man of impeccable bass taste too! Loz' photos below, if thats OK Loz) and it is quite the most beautiful Jazz I have ever seen or played and in immaculate condition. It was the last one fully hand-made by Vinnie Coppolo and team in his NYC workshop (numbered 48 on the neck plate) before he moved to California and introduced CNC machines etc. Nitro 3TS finish, weighs 9.74 pounds, has a comfortable B width (1.625) width neck (its not a skinny J neck), and a beautiful dark chocolate-y dalbergia negra rosewood board (DN is a rare rosewood, stocks of which are no longer available, so I am told). It plays very slickly with very low action (ask the previous owners or Happy Jack, who played it yesterday) and has a huge range of tones from fully passive Jazz through to various active tones (controls are V/V/T, treble boost, bass boost; the second V control pulls up for passive mode). Comes protected in a Hiscox case. Reason for selling: I have re-appraised what I need in basses (again and am going the traditionalist route) and I really want a year-of-birth (1963) Fender Precision, in Olympic white or 3 colour sunburst, and this sale will hopefully fund that (or at least most of it) I am after £2850 - which is the trade value molan and I agreed - or of course a trade against a '63P in oly white (long shot!). BTW, I will be travelling a lot on business this week and next so may not always be able to answer PMs quickly. Would prefer to hand over in person but will ship (given my travelling I will not always be around to package it up immediately).

My old Sid! Should shift fast Dan as there was tons of interest when I last sold it

Hi there. great combo but you need to state a price and it would help if you said where the item is located (I assume from the mixed language it's not in the UK! )

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1141852' date='Feb 25 2011, 09:44 PM']Well, FWIW... I would pay to see that. Someone buy this damn caps lock key. Once I shift it, I'm buying me a TC head. They're flavour of the month, you know.[/quote] I can offer this TC head. Any good? I'll be in the dustbin if you want to trade [attachment=73228:TOP_CAT_...PRESSION.jpg]

I can't believe this is still here. I'll take when I next get paid. 2017

PM'd

I can vouch for this as a lovely Jazz and a good example of good QC in a recent Fender I only sold it as I got the hots for a vintage 70s Jazz which I dscovered actually didnt play as nicely, despite costing several times as much. Doh
