Really nice playing, somewhat battle-scarred black/tort CIJ 1990s (1993 or 1997?) '62 RI Jazz bass. With custom US pickup additions, sounds great. About 9 pounds too, so a good weight for a J. Bought only a month ago, but I enjoyed playing it so much (after a longish spell with primarily short scale basses) that I went the whole hog and stumped up for a stunning 1999 US AVRI 62 Jazz in lake placid blue. Hence this is surplus to requirements. Price includes 48 hour UK delivery in a rather rudimentary but functional hard case. Can also be picked up from SW London (Barnes) *No trades thanks* Original ad here, more pics to follow

Withdrawing, its too nice

Maybe you have a dusty xxxx though? 😂

Fabulous handmade short scale bass but I now have a few fabulous basses and my cowpunk band, for which this was bought (a replacement for my Mustang), looks to be toast. I bought it from BC six or seven months ago (ad link below with tons of pics and specs) and have since sourced a black s/p and TRC from Serek for more of a Gibson TV yellow look. Still have the tort s/p and TRC. Very light bass and plays slickly with flats. Collection south of Hammersmith Bridge or post at cost. UK-only after some post-Brexit horror stories (2 of which I have been involved in). No trades due to aforementioned surfeit of basses and lack of opportunity to use them! This normally results in PMs along lines of "hi mate, sure I can't tempt you to trade with a xxxxxx ..." but to be clear. No trades, thanks! Previous FS link

Great to hear you are back and recovered Gareth! Nice colour bass and Mustangs are soooo fun to play. GLWTS!

Oh go on Ash. Ping me with payment details and total cost (including delivery). Cheers Clarky

Sold

Haha, just as I edited my post! Beautiful bass Andrew and GLWTS!!!!

Guessing he is referring to the different neck? Unless that is a protective black strip?

Looks like this may be sold. Just confirming....

In its case

I bought this about 6 months ago for lockdown enjoyment but it's sat in its hard case for most of that (I prefer my Serek short scale). Minty fresh with sticker still on rear and no marks that I can spot. Very light (8lb or less, I think) and very fast to play roasted neck. Limited run and no longer made - the last new ones were for sale at £2399 in Gear4Music. Hence £1750 sounds fair for an as-new bass. Collect in SW London or post at cost. Comes with its hard case and all the case candy, all minty too. Alternatively will trade/px for a sub 9.5 pound vintage Jazz bass (1975 or earlier) or 62 AVRI Jazz. No other trades thanks.

Wow, 5 years between bumps! Patience is a virtue, they say 😂 I have a TB-10 and can confirm they are fabulous things so let me get in a 2nd bump and say GLWTS

Damn that 20% Brexit VAT charge for importing from mainland Europe!
