Wow, i really cannot believe this has not sold yet Rich . Someone is seriously missing out on a great jazz here. I know this because this Jazz used to be mine and i spent 5 hours in Mansons in Exeter having tried loads of jazzes, MIA's, MIJ's etc before settling for this new mexican build jazz bass - a beautiful neck too. This one stood out by far and i could barely believe that this was a mex as it played so much better than my prejudices would believe. To me it felt better than the USA's i tried and i tried quite a few that day...and that was with the mex at stock-before the mod's. I paid over £400 then for a stock bass. With the Delano's, badass and the other mod's Rich has done this is a steal of bass...if i didn't have such a great playing jazz that i have now i would have this back in a shot....a buyer will very happy with this bass - have a bump Rich.

Also i'm not 100% sure what i want to replace it with yet......maybe a P, Jazz, Warwick or something else quirky - may consider a cheaper bass or a lightweight cab plus some cash too. Thanks for the nice comments, it is indeed a very cool bass......especially for those solo players i should imagine.

25 yrs old (ish) Jonas Hellborg Sounds of Sweden bass, Passive, loads of groove kudos, plays beautiful and a great range of tones through the Shadow pick ups - see video below. I think Jonas played Wals a lot therefore maybe some Wal influence in this bass...then again maybe its nothing like a Wal. Either way this truly is a great bass and is wasted on a simple 3-4 note reggae playing geeza like moi despite it probably being the best sounding bass i've played in a while......it also has 27 frets and to be honest i don't think i've hardly ever gone past the 10th fret - i'm too lazy to practice too . This bass is clearly more suitable to a jazzer/fusion/funky/ super talented type. Here is a funky ass funk Jonas super talented virtuoso playing the same type of bass but black : [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh_Z1kt5iR4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh_Z1kt5iR4[/url] I'm led to believe that mine is very rare being a natural colour unlike the black one in the vid. Info/ geek spec on the bass here from a previous seller [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=89402&hl=hellborg"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...amp;hl=hellborg[/url] & some pics.

Quite happy to keep this quirky bass if nothing suitable comes up but would rather it go to someone who will do it justice and play them 27 frets....this bass needs playing Happy to do postage or come and play for yourself. Plymouth based.

Hi, selling this project bass that i've done in order to fund another. It is a nice Squire neck with a Fender decal done rather well on a nice aged cream 90's Hohner Professional range Jazz body with the Hohner electronics inside. The neck has had 'Mother of pearl' block stickers added to good effect, these are easily removable (not all are exact positioning but it looks good IMO). I was going to change the pick ups for some Fender ones but i was very impressed with the Hohners as they have a really good range and a mid 'growl/honk' - good jazz bass sounds in other words. All in all nice cheap Jazz bass, plays well, intonation is brilliant and the action is low without buzzes - looks nice & plays nice too. Has D'addrio strings fitted, can put used flats on if you prefer. [url="https://picasaweb.google.com/Mr.LeeStone/JazzBass?feat=directlink"]Pictures here[/url] How's £160 posted, £150 collected or may trade for maple P neck (All parts, Mighty might etc + cash either way) Softcase or tattyish hard case extra £10 Also have a Fender Jazz ashtray £10 if interested for this bass, it's not been fitted to date.

I've bought it, a few days ago - just waitng on arrival

Bargain for someone, great synth's !!!!
