Up for sale is my early 90s made in japan bass collection jz-4.These retailed in the bass centre for £799 for the 4 string and £899 for the 5 string I can't over-state the build quality of this bass!....superb! and quite a rarity!!
Two-piece ash body.....maple neck with beautiful ebony fingerboard....gold plated schaller machine heads and high mass bridge
Bartolini pickups......Originally the bass was active, but now is passive..(this is how i bought it!)..I was going to install a good pre-amp, think j-retro,glock etc but i probably won't get round to it. The bass is in excellent condition and looks great in trans-red. The bass has a nice action and weight-wise comes in at 9.6 pounds. I would prefer collection but if the buyer wants to arrange their own courier I could package bass well in hard case........possible trades.

Hi folks, I am after a clear scratch plate for my 75 re-issue jazz(usa) I don't want to have to trim this and file
that and want the holes to line up!....can anybody point me in the right direction?

Cheers me dears.

Lovely bass, and yes Aidan(twincam) does a cracking fret dress and polish!!

A lot of basses now are built using white ash which tends to weigh more than alder and swamp ash!
having said that, the white ash lends its self to better sustain and tone, certainly in the lower mids.

Roger Sadowsky is chambering the bodies on his us line because of the weight issue with timber.

What a gift !!

you could buy a suitable bridge...string spacing etc, then go to a local engineering firm and get them to
machine the bridge or marry it to a new base plate.....just a thought!!

heard this rig at a gig and it sounded amazing....really punchy and cut through the mix well !

Very nice, some what of a bargain me thinks!!

The DB 751 is, without doubt one of the best sounding amps available, i tried one in guitarguitar in Newcastle and
was blown away by the tone....this can't be said for the many class D amps being used at the moment.

Very nice!....and no ash tray holes

where are you based?

Great amp, with plenty of grunt and tone options, got a very good review in BGM......bargain me thinks!

I think the sterling range are very good!...and many seem to be lighter than the us range.
they got a great review in bgm!

Do you have an accurate weight of the bass?

As the title suggests, the driver is in need of a recone, when you press down on the cone, rubbing can be heard

I am sure either aguilar or eminence will do a recone kit suitable for this!....a quality driver with cast chassis and
56 ounce magnet structure.
Pick-up only.

I have a pair of emg jvx pickups which i intend installing in my bass collection jz (jazz clone)
i would like to replace the single tone control with the bts or bqc system!
I know the bts will fit in the cavity no probs, but the bqc has a larger circuit board attached to
one of the pots!...I would rather fit the bqc system, but will it fit?

The pots are four in line with fender spacing between each pot(no bell plate) pots fitted from behind
in control cavity....( jack input on body edge).
I get the feeling it may have to be the bts for space reasons, but if anybody knows different??

lovely bass, and top bloke....buy with confidence!

I used to own this bass, even with the wider neck i never had problems, and my hands aren't very big!
very nice bass with a nice growl to the tone!...punchy B string as well.

For god sake, someone hurry up and buy this!

Lovely bass this is, and a total bargain!!

I would love a barefaced supertwin but in the back of my mind i would worry about it
being built out of 9mm plywood....not that i have heard of any failures!

great cabs!....two of those will not be found wanting!

Yes, it is that very bass, and in the words of David Dickenson....It's a bobby dazzler!

Bump.....more pics added

very good amps, and got a cracking write up in bass guitar mag by stuart clayton
