[quote name='BassManKev' post='255235' date='Aug 5 2008, 11:31 AM']what you trade for?[/quote] Something that doesn't exist until I can post pics -
Trade pending on this. Thanks for everyone's interest.

Had a 4003 for many years, sold it a couple of years ago. I've played a lot of basses and there is nothing else I have played that could capture that sound. You can get a bit close with a J but not close enough. Having said that, to me there is a big difference between the 4001 and 4003, the 4003 has a bit more growl to it, I definitely prefer the 4003 sound.

Thanks for the offers everyone, some beautiful instruments there. I am just thinking about them at the moment, I wasn't expecting such a variety of offers so quickly. I'll PM each of you when I've made up my mind. Thanks again. J.

Hi guys, thanks for your responses... Bigwan, got more info on the Stingray? Matt, interested, PM sent WaywardWanderer, cheers but I'll pass on this one Silverfoxnik, thanks for the advice, I'm not 100% about this, it's a great bass, but at this time I'm just looking for something different, I'd like to see what else is out there.

I'm thinking about moving my 77 Jazz on... I'm kinda on the lookout for something active, more contemporary sounding, just thought I'd put the feelers out and see what turns up, preferably 4's, maybe 5's, not interested in 6's or above. It's all original except for the strap buttons, h/c too. It's in great condition for a 31 year old bass, there's life left in the frets and it's got some serious low end to go with that 70's pickup spacing funk. The bass is in Ireland, though I'll consider shipping it anywhere for the right bass, so feel free to talk to me. More pics available if required

I just sold my 6, but I used to use Dean Markley SR2000 strings on it. Tried D'Addario, Rotosound, Elixir and more, none of them were any use compared to the SR2000.

www.guitarjapan.com is a good place to deal with. They deal in US dollars, so now is the time. I bought a Woodline P Classic from them and, shipping and taxes included, it cost just a little more than a Mexican P in the shops here. Nuts. [url="http://stores.ebay.com/MIJ-Guitar-HISASHI"]http://stores.ebay.com/MIJ-Guitar-HISASHI[/url] is a great guy to deal with too. Over here, import duty for musical instruments is about 4% of the cost of the instrument plus shipping and then they add 21% VAT - I think it's less for you fellas in the UK.

Cheers Ped, it's nice to be here. There seems to be a greater variety of instruments (ie non-US) getting some space which makes a nice change.

Doesn't seem to be up at the moment, it was with either [url="http://stores.ebay.ie/nu2uguitars"]http://stores.ebay.ie/nu2uguitars[/url] or [url="http://stores.ebay.com/MIJ-Guitar-HISASHI"]http://stores.ebay.com/MIJ-Guitar-HISASHI[/url] - it has been up for a while, I'd say keep an eye on them and it might come back up if someone hasn't bought it. These guys might still be able to get them [url="http://www.guitarjapan.com/bacchus/bacchus_bassguitars.html"]http://www.guitarjapan.com/bacchus/bacchus_bassguitars.html[/url] I got my one through them, with the exchange rate with the dollar being what it is, it was a great deal.

Cheers! The model is a Woodline P Classic, it's discontinued, they only made them for 2007 but there are still a few knocking around, there's a white one on ebay for an absurdly low price. It's a great bass, it sounds like you think a P should sound in your head. Plus, the side dots glow in the dark! I've added a bridge cover to it, now it really looks the business, must take a pic.

I first came across Bacchus having a sniff around Ishibashi's u-box. The black one below, fairly beaten up but something about it intrigued me. For the price it was worth a gamble. If only I'd known then that I'd end up selling most of the rest of my gear to get it's Bacchus equivalent, things might be different. They're simple basses, just very well made and each one has its own sound.
-
Hope it sells, I picked up a 400 Series second hand in the early 90's, it's an 87. I've never played another 4 string Jazz that even comes close by any manufacturer. This is a 100% absolute bargain for whoever picks it up. -
Cheers fellas. Here are some pics with the case, it's the proper form fitted Ibanez Soundgear case. Apologies for the crap photo quality, they were taken with a phone.

Cheers, it's nice to be here

Just stopping by to say hello, I'm Justin from Dublin in Ireland. I've been playing almost 20 years now, currently playing bass in a blues band and g****r in a Metal band, have dabbled on drums too, though bass is what I started on and will always be my main instrument. I think I used to be on an earlier version of this forum a couple of years ago. Anyway, hi to you all!
