    The body is as curvey as my booty!
  2. SurroundedByManatees
    Pretty much yes. Though the original telecaster bass was actually a reissue of the original first 51 single coil precision bass, without the contours. Thanks

    Fender CS '55 Precision Bass Great custom shop bass. It has a light ash body with blonde finish, and the neck has a nice soft V-shape. This is a relic version, and it looks actually pretty good. The lacquer has natural looking wear with finish checking. The bass is in used but good condition, complete with certificate. It is a light instrument, weighing around 3,6kg. It has been set up with a new set of d'addario rounds. The original case is included. One latch is defective, but those can be easily replaced. Fixed price: €2.650 The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. Partial trades now negotiable. I'm interested in a good 60s oriented jazz bass (roadworn per example), Ampeg v4b, mustang bass (jmj or vintage) or maybe a good solid state head like Gallien-Krueger RB series. Also a fender Jazzmaster guitar could be of interest.

    As far as my knowledge goes, it seems to be the case indeed

    Got a few inquiries about nu width; it's 38mm. Price dropped.

    I've fitted this bass with a set of la Bella's to try them out. I never realized they can actually sound that nice on a good jazz bass. Totally different from the the TI's, but I like it a lot. 🙂

    Sage green Metallic would look nice, with a aged pearl pickguard

    As for trades; I'm looking for a good guitar. My interest goes out for a Jazzmaster mainly, but might consider other offsets or a strat as well.

    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.

    ....€1.350

    Is the op 100% sure about the serial number? Seems a bit too much for coincidence I think...

    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.

    I've owned a few silver series and they felt as good as most regular japanese fenders. A silver series telecaster guitar I've owned was really great playing and sounding. It had a very thick poly finish.
  21. SurroundedByManatees
    On hold now
  22. SurroundedByManatees
    Partial trades still welcome on this one. I am especially after a good playing offset Fender guitar like a nice Jazzmaster.
  23. SurroundedByManatees
    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.

    There are a lot of dealers that stick to their high asking prices though. For example there is an amp dealer that has nice stuff but priced way too high. Made him an market-fair offer on 2 items that have been on there for 2 years... Declined. Good luck then In general, I wouldn't advice to use reverb as a reference for the actual market value.
