    I have just taken delivery of Fender Custom Shop NOS 64 Jazz in 3TS/tort as part of a trade for my AC Willie Weeks and want to move this on to realise the cash. Made in 2006, its in excellent condition (just a little loss of paint by the neck pocket, on the underside, presumably where someone had the neck off to adjust the truss rod) and one or two other tiny marks which wouldn't show up in a photo (mainly slight imprints in the nitro finish from the edge of the no-longer-fitted chrome cover; OutToPlayJazz noted the same with his 2010 50th anniv Jazz). Low action (c.2.5-3.0 mm at the 12th fret) and plays really well. Weighs less than 9 lbs. It has the custom shop case (looks as-new) and all the case candy inc chrome covers, Custom Shop certificate and the rest still in original sealed bag). Actual photos below (updated): [attachment=58885:IMG_0438.JPG][attachment=58887:IMG_0439.JPG][attachment=58888:IMG_0437.JPG] Looking for £1600 posted ono (for contiental European BassChatters its Euro 1,900 plus postage). Its not a limited edition, unlike wolldav's, hence lower price if BC'ers are comparing the two. It is nevertheless a Custom Shop bass with all the bells and whistles and extra care/attention/quality that implies. There's a s/h one on eBay for £1670 including post (link: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-2009-USA-CUSTOM-SHOP-N-O-S-1964-JAZZ-BASS-/140453864750?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20b3b3e52e"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-2009-USA-CUST...=item20b3b3e52e[/url] ) but generally these run to £2,000+ (up to £2,400) new. So I think my price is a fair one

    I think most flats are wound with flat wire/tape, whereas Chromes (and Status too?) are ground down to be flat. Probably explains the slightly different characteristics
  3. Clarky
    D'Addario Chromes have a bit more clank and zing IMHO versus TI flats, LaBellas and Pyramid Golds

    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='955509' date='Sep 13 2010, 10:49 PM']OK, thanks, just let me know.[/quote] OK Dave, how's about £95 posted (vs £129 at DV247, without post)?

    Top quality DI box from Radial Engineering. I bought it to team up with my Sansamp VT Bass but have never needed it in a gig situation. I am going back to a Sansamp BDDI for a one-pedal lazy (if slightly inferior tonally) solution. The Radial DI is absolutely spotless and completely as-new. To buy new it would be £86, making it about £90 posted. How about £70 posted? Here are specs [url="http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/radial-pro-di-full-range-passive-mono-direct-box--43775"]http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/radi...rect-box--43775[/url] [attachment=58723:43775_l.jpg]

    Thanks ET! I will leave it a day or two and if no takers will simply sell for cash. Need to do a quick bit of reading up on BC to see what a fair price is s/h.

    As-new Sansamp VT Bass pedal with tin box* for trade for Sansamp BDDI in good nick. The VT Bass sounds better (better emulation of tube sound and does not suck out the mids) but I am a lazy sod and just want a one-pedal solution with DI out capability for my gigbag. Anyone? * the tin box is a bit dented (and the piece-of-card manual is a bit dog-eared) but I don't suppose anyone cares - the pedal it is supposed to protect is pristine!

Looks like a hastily cobbled cartoon bass from the Jetsons [attachment=58668:_42369477_jetsons.jpg]

    Hey Gareth, great news that after all your searching you have found " the right one". Looking forward to pics

  20. Clarky
    There seems to be some interest in your bass on Alembic Club, elbassisto. I have put up the link on the site and highlighted your new photos. However I think it would be worth your while joining the site and putting up details directly so that you can answer questions more easily.
  21. Clarky
    You are absolutely correct about commenting on price. But this community, as you know, operates on trust and when a sale price appears unrealistic (or worse, profiteering) it is rarely the case that comments are not made. I nevertheless wish you the best of luck with your sale
