King Tut

Back up for sale - bump to the top.

Re the neck pocket - It's a 70's Fender so it's not perfect. With the old neck it was sloppy. This neck seems to be slightly thicker - maybe more finish on it? Consequently the fit - while not perfect - is adequate. I can post pics if required. The action was a typo - here's what it is . . . E string 2.8 mm. G string 2.2 mm at the 20th fret (approx!) I've decided I'd accept £450 for this collected from Milton Keynes - any takers?

I'll measure it again later - I'm sure the E string is higher!

Guys - note I've edited this - the body has a route beneath the scratchplate for 2 PP3's - so many bottles of wine - so few brain cells left!!

Yeah - the 'offset' bit is in the wrong place - I think the guy who did it should have cut the decal in two. There's a nice little bit of flame going on up near the headstock - I love the neck and I'm tempted to get another body with normal routs to stick it on - but I've got too many Jazzes as it is! I think you might be right Silddx - I've seen similar necks with tuners going on here for near £200 - and I'd get a bit for the pups as well - lets see what happens! Would be a shame for this body to be wasted though cos she sounds good if you like the EMG thing!

Action - E string 20th fret 2.3 mm G string 20th fret 2.8 mm (approx!) They're active EMG pickups wired to a passive volume and tone controls. She plays nice - if anyone's [b]seriously[/b] interested i could post some sound clips - but I'm a busy bloke so don't ask for them unless you really want them!!

You all know what these do! This one is sound but has seen a bit of action. It's an early one, consequently the strap button on the top horn has been moved to below the horn (since the pics were taken) to balance it better. Also the two switches have been replaced with similar (but not original) items. Now £140 collected.

There's only room in a man's life for so many Jazz basses - and I have a few. Consequently, I'd like to move this one on. The body of this bass was bought as part of a complete Jazz bass, that I believe dates from [b]197[/b]4, judging from the logo, screw holes, neck stamp etc. Unfortunately it had been well buggered about - badly defretted and routed for EMG soapbars. I've used the neck for a more traditional project and put the rest together with a neck I bought on here - so here's the deal . . . [b]1974 body[/b] - refinished in [b]Nitro[/b] white - routed for EMG's - battery compartment routed beneath the scratchplate - big enough for 2 PP3's - it's wired 18 volts. There are a couple of dinks in the paint - but nothing major. [b]Allpart[/b]s (Licensed by Fender) block and bound neck with [b]Rosewood fretboard. [/b] [b]EMG soapbars[/b] - [b]DC[/b] in the neck position, [b]TW[/b] in the bridge position with a push pull volume control for coil tap. [b]Gotoh 201[/b] bridge. The machine heads came with the neck - branded 'Fender' but not sure of their origin - look the part and work fine. The bass is resonant with no obvious dead spots - the bathroom scales show it as around 8 lb - but obviously that's not going to be dreadfully accurate. So on to the pics: As for a price - I've a fair idea what I could get for the bits if I were to split it, but it would obviously be easier for me to sell it as a whole - so so I'm looking for £450 collected from Milton Keynes including a hard case. Would possibly be interested in a trade but would prefer a straight sale. I would prefer this bass was collected - being a 'put together' bass I'd sooner a buyer try it and be sure they're happy with it before it's sold. I could post it but this would be dependant on being able to resource a bass sized box. I could also meet a potential buyer at London Midland stations between Euston and Birmingham. Let me know what you reckon guys!

I'll have it please mate - I'll PM you about the details. Cheers Col
