Sold!

There is actually a small crack in the thin part of the F hole (looks like a small scratch). It took me a while to find one of these indeed

Ibanez black eagle 1977 Rare original Ibanez black eagle from the '70s. These basses are mainly known for being used by Krist Novoselic from Nirvana. It's truly a great take on the classic jazz bass. Not only because it's looks (which is a matter of taste of course), but soundwise it delivers a bit more mids than most jazzes do. Probably because of the mahogany body. I've used this bass live with La Bella flats fitted as an all rounder for my former pop/rock band, and used this with both pickups engaged or one of them solood, it sounds solid in all settings. Playability is very good; low action without rattling is possible. There is some fret wear, but is doesn't affect playability. The bass is in very good condition considering it's age. All hardware and electronics work like they should. There is a repaired little crack at the F hole (which most have, if still complete), and otherwise just a bunch of small usermarks and scratches. It's a 5kg heavy piece of awesomeness, so might not be for everyone. I personally think it balances nicely with a decent strap, and didn't mind playing it for an hour or two. For the sale a set of rounds will be fitted, as I'll keep the flats. €1.450 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. Tradewise I might be interested in; stingray with lacquered neck (like early 90s), Music Man Sabre, Fender Flea active, Modulus... electric guitar (Fender strat or jazzmaster per example)... Otherwise, surprise me..

Sold!

I have a spare set of original Fender Jazz Bass grey bottom pickups from 1966. They origin from a bass that had pots dating back to March 1966. The pickups come from the same bass and have been a set since the instrument left the factory. These pickups sound great. I've had them installed in a assembled '60s jazz until recently. They have the great warm jazz bass sound, but sound great when solood too (nice snarly bridge pickup). The leads are still the originals with original length. Asking €1.250 for the set. I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. Ps: the original loaded control plate 100% original) that these pickups originally have been connected too, is also available

Trades or partial trades are welcome too. I am looking for a Musicman Sabre or stingray (lacquered neck preferred) or 5 string with slightly tighter stringspacing (like Ibanez atk), passive shortscale like mustang bass, or maybe a decent electric guitar.

Nice one! "ES" is indeed said to mean entered special. But apparently it meant that these instruments were meant to be used for displays and demonstration. I've mainly seen sunburst with this marking, which means it's not a custom color thing. I've owned a '66 P, and it's genuinely the most characterfull P I've played so far. Glwts

Rarely offered! Original sunburst body that belonged to a bass that had the pots dated to week 4 of 1966. So it's either from early '66 or late '65. The body has a lot of scratches, small damages and some bigger bumps and dents. The finish has gotten textured (maybe due to chemical reaction from being stored away for a long time?), and also has fine checking. There is an original tortoise pickguard included. This guard still has the mint green layer on the back, so should be '65 at its latest as they were phased out by then. The guard has a missing tip and another crack. Also the original shielding plates are included. Screws are included also, which are modern Fender aged replacements. Asking: €2.850 The body is located in the Netherlands. Pickup is preferred, but I am willing to ship at buyers risk. I've got a few more pictures which I could send through PM or email if interested. They were too big to upload in the ad . Please do hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. PS: I also have other '65/'66 parts, like lollipop tuners, a loaded control plate and grey bottom pickups. The parts origin from 2 different basses that were finished in early '66.

Rarely offered: Original Fender Jazz Bass neck, made in July 1965. The neck has a padouk fretboard, as Fender did only for a few months in 1965. This neck has been refretted with vintage style frets, and there is some chipping around the slots from defretting. The neck is straight, adjustable, and allows a decent low action. It has a comfortable feeling as some of the finish of the back has worn away. Originally this neck was mounted on a bass that had been finished in early 1966. I have the original (lollipop) tuners for sale separately. Asking €2500 I am located in the Netherlands. Pickup is preferred, but I could ship at buyers risk and expense. I might be interested in trade offers; basses, guitars...

Cool Jose. Please note that shipping will be quite expensive, and import fees will need to be paid. Feel free to pm me if interested.

I use PayPal gifts from time to time, but only when a seller has good feedback history. Never had any trouble. As a seller I'll never use the business version of PayPal anymore, as the position as a seller is very vulnerable. I've had trouble with this a few times (scammed by buyer, waiting ages for payment to clear).

Up for sale again: Great old Rickenbacker 4001 in a gorgeous Azureglo finish. The bass sounds great and has a very good playability with low action. Note that these older neck are way less chunky than a lot of modern Rics. A long time ago the neck suffered a break (fretboard came loose partially, common issue with these oldies) which has been repaired and stable since. An area where paint chipped has been filled up with some darker blue lacquer. Two of the tuners could be replaced as two other have aged differently. Otherwise they look the same. Further there are all kind of small damages all around, some lacquer worn away on the back, and finish checking all over due to the age. Technically the bass is in good condition. All hardware en electronics work like they should. The neck is straight, adjustable, and very stable. A low action is possible with rounds and flats. The bass weighs 4.18 kg on my kitchen scale. At the moment she is fitted with Thomastik flats = great sound and playability. Fixed price €2.200 I am located in the Netherlands. Pickup is preferred, but I'm willing to ship at buyers risk and expense.

Bump with updated trade options.

Nice one. And super light indeed for a mid 70s.

These vintage Pro birds are just superb. Glwts

As mentioned in the ad; this bass has been assembled from 2 basses anyway.. no killing here.
