  1. I recently acquired a vinyl cutting lathe. Takes a bit of getting used to but loving it so far. [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/A9D85FFC-CBEF-4125-B20F-91D82B6B37C5_zps4lnli4wt.jpg.html"][/url]
  2. [quote name='Dvisions' timestamp='1463518185' post='3052069'] Ugh, they always turn up when I don't have the spare money. I have the maple/black model and its by far my favourite 5 string I've ever played. [/quote] I'm really hoping my '72 sells first to be honest so I can take this down. The B on this is the best I've had on a Fender.

An updated preamp circuit brings deeply exhilarating active and passive tone. Powerful-yet-quiet N3 Noiseless pickups present more clean headroom, extended EQ range, and tighter low-end response. The tonal options are vast, thanks to the active/passive toggle switch and passive tone control. These amazing electronics effortlessly handle the low B string with impeccable tone and seismic power. The classic Jazz Bass block fretboard inlays and binding present the Fender American Deluxe V bass in a rightfully classy light.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif]The bass is crafted with an alder body, a hard wood that provides clear tone, and lasting sustain. The maple neck with modern C-shape, 5-bolt neck plate, compound radius fretboard, asymmetrical neck profile, and contoured heel offer fast action, silky- smooth playability, and make the American Deluxe Jazz Bass extremely easy to play all the way up the neck. The high-mass vintage Fender bass bridge offers compressed and focused bass tone with more mid range punch. It retains the Fender articulation and sparkle, combined with vintage-style saddles to maintain a classic vibe. The combination of a steel plate with brass saddles produces the best possible Fender bass sound.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif]Pairing up these pickups with the EQ and volume controls provides that notorious Fender Jazz Bass sound that has mystified some of the world's most prominent bassists for decades.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif]Other features include Stealth "B" string retainer, tinted neck, rolled fingerboard edges, highly detailed nut- and fretwork, genuine bone nut, flathead screws on battery compartment (for easy changes with a coin or pick), gloss polyurethane neck finish, and a gloss urethane body finish to dress the Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V 5-string in ultimate style and beauty.

  4. Real nice looking bass that. On subject of flying with your bass - I reckon I'll more than likely hire next time I travel - airport transportation costs are so expensive!
  5. I'm in Bournemouth - would be up for looking at this too.
  6. Incredible looking bass. Stunning. I bet that could tell some stories!
  7. Thanks a lot for the offer but I only play dark wood fingerboards nowadays.
  8. [quote name='maut' timestamp='1461930676' post='3038839'] Does the active circuitry require a 9V battery (i don´t see a battery clip), and does it fit under the pots? Thanks and GLWTS!

  9. [quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1461852577' post='3038218'] And I thought mine was battered... Has wiring been replaced? [/quote] The guy I bought it from told me it was hanging up in a Spanish bar for years. To be honest, as far as the wiring is concerned I really don't know but I reckon it's safer to assume it probably has been replaced.

  11. [list] [*]Serial on F neck plate: 364174 (Fullerton Plant, CBS Era, USA, 1972) - the neck pocket has 'K KRAUSFELDT' on it and the serial number that would have been stamped on the end of the neck has all but disappeared (see photos). [*]Model: Jazz Bass [*]Colour: Sunburst/Rosewood [*]Weight: 8 lbs 6 oz (home scales) [/list] ----- Strict trades with cash adjustment:[list] [*]Ken Smith. [*]Fodera. [*]Fender Jazz Bass Steve Bailey 6-string (fretted). [/list] ----- Here is my 1972 Fender Jazz Bass. It is pretty light weighing in at 8 lb 6 oz according to my home scales. Original Sunburst finish over and Alder body which has loads of play wear and dings. Maple neck with a Rosewood fingerboard. The neck has a 7.25" radius with a thin C profile. It's a lovely player with a nice even sound right across the fingerboard, very slim and straight neck, recently professionally refretted by Absolute Music in Poole, tortoise guard. All original with the exception of pickups and pots - it's got Di Marzio active pickups and active pots installed (see photos). There's a lot of play wear to the finish front and back with heavy scuffs and dings around the edges of the body and buckle rash on the back. The headstock also has a scuffs around the edges. The hardware and electronics are in good working order. I don't have the original pickups or pots but thankfully no additional screws, cavities or modifications have been made to the bass so if you wanted to you could go on eBay or suchlike and buy some original '72 pickups/pots. I considered doing this myself but it sounds superb as it is and while buying these pickups/pots would make it an original '72, it would cost money and I don't think the bass would sound as good as it does now so I decided to leave it as is. The control panel is standard Jazz Bass Volume/Volume/Tone. The Tone knob can be pulled out to switch between active and passive circuitry (see photos). Badass II fitted but I do have the original bridge (see photos) which will be included. I had it professionally setup with a very low action by Absolute Music in Poole. I'm based in Bournemouth, Dorset and I'd really prefer someone to pick this bass up but I will ship if necessary. That's everything I can think of but If you have any questions whatsoever, please let me know.

  12. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1460313179' post='3024594'] I don't love Jazz basses, except the '73 I tried that a friend owns. Several things I shouldn't like about it (sunburst, block inlays, bound neck, and, er, it's a Jazz), but it sounds great. So yes, I do accept that a Jazz can be good. [/quote] Kind of like this bad boy?

  13. [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1460291723' post='3024364'] I absolutely love Jazz basses. [/quote] That's pretty spectacular isn't it!
  14. I bought a 5 string Jazz from ventus. An amazing instrument, great communication. Will happily deal with again!
  15. Wonderful look bass. Congratulations... you'll be planning a custom soon enough
  16. I personally don't think vintage basses sound better than modern versions but I'm yet to play a bass that [i]feels[/i] as nice as my '64 to play.
  17. Thanks gents. Yes, if for nothing else, I do like that photograph
  18. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1460107597' post='3022589'] No photos until a replacement pickguard arrives... tort is only acceptable on sunburst I've come to realize I am as much a collector / trader of bass gear as I am a bass player... I get just as much enjoyment out of changing my gear around / trying new stuff as I do from playing in bands [/quote] I tend to agree with the pickguard. I asked Fender and Absolute Music about getting a tort pick guard for my 2014 US Deluxe 5 string and was quoted over £100... for a piece of plastic! I'll be sticking with the stock black one!
