King Tut

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

Are you willing to post?

Just as well I don't live in Scotland - looks like a bargain - that tort plate looks great on the black!
