  1. [quote name='gareth' timestamp='1488751257' post='3251565'] Did you manage to get a 10 hole scratchplate/pickguard? OP Great bass and in honey a great colour BTW [/quote] Doh! Just checked....no it's not a 10 hole scratch plate. Back it goes.
  2. It's a nitro finish...I hope there are scratches....
  3. Very nice. I'm waiting for for fiesta red 50's bass that's in the post. Should arrive in a few days. I already ordered a mint white pick guard for mine. edit: I just gave away that I'm from the States....scratchguard I mean....
  4. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I pieced it together after finding a '76 jazz neck for a great price. The body is as close to a '76 as I can tell from the neck pocket stamps. You can see it was originally starting to be a sunburst. The black paint is rubbing through in places to expose the red underneath.

  5. Nice looking. Remind me...this is MIM? Also, if I remember the necks on these are slightly narrower at the nut then a standard American P Bass? Also, where are you located? Thanks, G
  6. Update! Will consider a trade (+cash, transfer, paypal etc.) for a Squier VM, CV Jazz. MIM Roadworn Jazz. Franken P Bass with Jazz neck. Mustang Bass. I basically want to spend no more then £550 on a trade bass. I need to get some money in the bank, but still need a giggable bass.
  7. Hey there. Did this sell? If not, which model Squier is this? Affinity...CV etc..... Thanks, BTW, I'm located West London. Best, Gunnar
  8. A bit of a feeler to see if there is anyone local who wants to have a run through of this fine bass and give it a new home. I pieced it together after finding a '76 jazz neck for a great price. The body is as close to a '76 as I can tell from the neck pocket stamps. You can see it was originally starting to be a sunburst. The black paint is rubbing through in places to expose the red underneath. Typical of Fender at the time to paint over with black when they messed up a sunburst. Badass bridge (modern) but you often saw pictures of 70's basses with Badass bridges so still retains that 70's vibe. Modern pickups and wiring harness.

  9. Hey all. VERY late replying. Thanks for the links. Right now I'm using a transformer, but might bite the bullet and change the jumpers
  10. Purchased last summer from Talkbass member in the States. (Where I moved from). Was going to pair it up with a nice Jazz neck which got lost in the shuffle of our move over here. Hence, it's just collecting dust as I've found it hard to find a neck at a reasonable price to match it. Besides my Jazz bass is doing me fine right now. Not sure what the body is from, but to the best of my knowledge it's alder with a pro paint job that's pretty close to spotless. A few swirl marks on the back side and some very minor buckle rash. Comes with Seymour SP-3 pick-ups and the Babicz bridge you can see. It's a standard Fender neck pocket. The person I purchased it from had a Aerodyne neck on it. I'm new to this forum, but you can look at my 100% positive feed back at Talkbass under StudioGC there with 47 transactions completed. Will ship insured and tracked.
  11. Howdy Folks, Just moved to the London area from the States and have a Markbass Jeff Berlin wired to U.S. specs (110v). So what I would like to do is change it over to 220volts. I've done a fair bit of research and seen some examples of successful Markbass voltage conversion, but not specifically for the Jeff Berlin series. I presume there's a jumper to change as well as a fuse? I'm pretty competent with wiring and soldering so not too daunted to take this on, but obviously don't want to fry my amp! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. [attachment=232513:IMG_0379.jpg]
  12. Would like to move this along this weekend if possible. Bring an offer!
  13. Hey all. Don't be scared that I'm new to the site.....just moved from the U.S. where I have been a member of the Talkbass forum with over 40 all positive feedbacks on transactions (look for StudioGC on Talkbass). What we have here is my 2011 American Standard Jazz bass. All original. It's in very good condition with with just some pick wear on the pick guard. No buckle rash and headstock is perfect. Action is nice and low, but without fret buzz. Comes strung with d'Addario Chromes. The case is a Fender red label USA case from the mid 90's (I don't have the original). I always preferred these older molded cases as they take up less room. Speaking of room....I'm selling this bass because we've decided to not buy a car and most of my travel is by cargo bike and I'll be looking for a short scale bass which will make it easier to travel by bike. So if you have something to offer in trade like a Mustang (reissue) or similar, let me know. I would much prefer a local sale and can meet within reasonable distance from my location (Teddington). I don't have my bass amp yet (it's somewhere in the North Atlantic in a container), so bring a amp if you would like to test it out. Edit: BTW, cash is great. But I can accept Paypal as well.
