So, i'm in the market for a 4 stringer jazz bass - budget is £400 tops, but quite happy for a £150 Harley Benton if it fits the bill.  I've scoured the For Sale section for a while now, however sadly pretty much everything is coming in over my weight limit - i have the glass back syndrome  and have been used to gigging basses under 8lbs, even including my 5 string. I've already got a Sire Jazz and switched the V7 body for a V3 to make it lighter...it's still heavy! I'm open to active or passive...key requirements = awesome for the money + lightweight - GO!

Any suggestions for a guaranteed lightweight jazz bass.???....already have decent straps and a disastrous history with a router

Cheers all.

I've been playing a bit of Dub & reggae over the years and always been happy with a Markbass setup. Perhaps my favourite head of all time though was the Eden WT800. The Markbass LMT amp and a ported 4 x10 is sweet, phat and lightish to carry.

Do you know the weight ?

Is this still for sale? 

Hi, how heavy is it, do you have a weight? Cheers

All you need is an MT40 (many a good tune)  - Loving the yard style!

Thought I’d lost this but found today down the back of the book case. Anyhow no longer needed so up for grabs is this lovely Trace Elf amp bag. 

£20 collected, happy to post at cost.

Bought off here a few months back but unfortunately the DB i had planned for this to go on got damaged in transit and the purchase never went ahead, so sadly never got to use this. Looking for what i paid and happy to post at cost. £75 + P&P (Trades, maybe interested in a micro amp i.e Bam 200).

Markbass amp bag, suitable for LM size amps. All functional. 

£25 collected + £5 postage  in the UK. 
 

My Zon Legacy, 7lbs of back joy and funk tone to die for 😁

Don’t suppose you get South West way (Devon) ?

Here is a great Black Friday deal from PMT Bristol - RST for £1772:

I road tested one of these at Bristol PMT yesterday. Lovely feel, nice and lightweight and a real joy to look at - beautiful! Here’s the but….the tone left me a bit underwhelmed to be honest - mostly a bit thin and one large fat vibe, very little in between.

Shame really, but that was my own opinion - I’m sure others may assess differently. I came away loving my recent purchase of a lightweight Zon Legacy even more. 

2nd dibs 😊

What nasty people there are around to create such sophisticated scams, disgusting. 

Bought from here earlier this year, and regardless if seen as sales talk, I am genuinely gutted to move this on but a recent purchase of a bass I've lusted after for many years means a few bits of equipment will be going to balance the books a bit.

Fantastic bass - probably my favourite jazz bass to date , lightweight due to the TCS (tone Chamber system), low action, sounds great from Marcus Miller Slap to Family man dub, Delano pickups. Excelent condition. 

Origninal sale add , youtube info here.

Any trades?

Ah bugger wrong end of the country! If you’re passing Devon way think I’d have that 4x10 😉

Forgot about these, will listen to offers 😊

Hi, I don’t know the model I’m afraid, sorry. They’re short posts, so just make it above the headstock, compared to my other basses. But without issue.

Hi Jay, unknown make I’m afraid, bought new off eBay a few years back. 

Cheers, Would you sell the tonerider and pots on their own?
