Down to €640.... Ridiculous actually

Superb bass by Tino Tedesco: This is a great bass, built by Tino Tedesco is Switzerland. Build quality, playability and sound are superb, and it balances nicely too. Weight is just around 3.6 kilo's thanks to the chambered body. The top has some nice figuring, and the fretboard shows some pretty birdseye. The pickups are active EMG, controls are passive VVT. The sound is clear but pleasantly warm. It kinda sounds like my ash/maple Fender Jazz, but with a bit more range. It's very versatile, and could easily be used in a lot of situations. As mentioned, playability is great; it's a very easy playing neck with low action. The frets are in good condition too. The strap lock system is Dunlop flush mount. The buttons are included. The condition of the bass is good. Of course it has some usermarks and small damages, but nothing significant. The truss rod, hardware and electronics are all perfectly fine. €1.250 Trades now preferred! I am looking for a good passive 60s style jazz, a good Fender Jazzmaster, an Ampeg V4(b) or maybe some other cool ss amp. I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

Updated trade options.

I have a S8 Fender Jazz which dates to 1981, so indeed these late 70s serials can cover a few years. Sometimes you can distinguish the 70s ones from the early 80s ones by looking at the countouring. As the early 80s can have a deeper belly cut and more rounded contours than a 70s instrument. These were the first steps forward in consistent quality towards the American vintage range and other Dan smith era models, which were very well built. Here you can see the difference between both s8 serial jazz basses. The last picture shows one (mine) that has been finished in 1981.

If I remember correctly, these already came with an original USA stingray preamp installed from the factory. As sound concerns, these basses are on par there with their more expensive brothers completely. At least that's how I've experienced them.

Partial trades still welcome on this one. I am especially after a good playing offset Fender guitar like a nice Jazzmaster.

Down to 1.500 No trades at the moment.

It's a shame indeed... I've traded a lot with UK members here on bc before the new situation. Though I've bought a bass from the UK in brexit-era that went through customs without a bill. That was lucky, probably not a common thing unfortunately.

Bump with pricedrop €1.550
