This ones were made in a 100-piece batch in 2006, so I assume Mr Kendrick has had a little help to get the job done. Its obvious that this jazz has been loved and played a lot, as it already has a roadworn look. Especially on the back there is a lot of playwear/bucklerash. I don't mind the roadworn look at all, but I can imagine it lowers the value somewhat. I 'll upload a few pics this weekend. When looking at the prices of original 66 dots and binding jazzes, I think this one is my best bet within my financial range. And of course the color kicks.

Update: I bought the jazz. It took a while before I gathered all info I wanted, but the bass is totally legit. It has MK stamp in the neck pickup cavity and signatures on the neck and in the neck pocket. All other markings are there too. The seller (a small vintage bass shop) is trying to get the certificate (he knows the guy he got it from). It's probably left behind in the house of his ex wife where he left, and it wasn't a friendly split apparently.... So we'll see. Anyway, it's a superb bass with a very even and musical tone. I've fitted it with fender nps rounds, as my other jazz already has (thomastik) flats fitted. Both are nice varieties.

Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro Its truly a great bass with a very good sound and easy playability. It has been set up with fresh Fender rounds (low action). The fretwork is good and the neck is a joy to play. The bass sounds the deal with flats too, but I like it with rounds a little more. I've played a few of the earlier thunderbirds, and there is no comparing; this one feels and sounds way, way better to me. I bought the Bird and the case new about a year ago, and haven't used it much since. I think I got it out about 10 times, as I happen to play my Fender type basses mostly. The bass looks like new and doesn't have any damages. The case has some marks from moving around, but hasn't seen any action. I am offering this bass with mixed feelings. On the one hand it's a great piece, and on the other hand it does deserve better than being a case queen. Expect to pay €750 for this bass +case when new. My fixed price: €550 The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk and costs. I am not interested in trades or lower offers.

Beautiful Overwater fretless bass, custom made for the original owner around 2005. The bass has a stunning quilted maple top and a nice green/blue burst finish. The fretboard is made of ebony. It's an active bass. Pics: There are several cosmetic damages to be found around the bass; dents, scratches, missing paint chips; battle scars. The fretboard shows signs of use but is definitely in very good condition. All hardware and electronics function like they should. The bass plays very well and has plenty of the mwah you want from a decent fretless. An original, high quality Overwater gigbag/softcase is included. It's in reasonable condition with some loose stitching at the front pocket. €1.150 Trades are welcome. Fretted basses, or a cool amp (Ampeg V4 or pf50t, ashdown low watts tube per example), fender American vintage strat... I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk (insured, well packed)

Thanks for the responses so far, they are very helpful From what I've read on the net, its not very easy to get a replacement certificate. Especially when not the original first owner. In the end its just a piece of paper of course, only giving garantee that there is a neckplate with a matching serial. Though I'm the kind of guy that likes stuff as complete as possible usually... The seller seems like a reliable party.

G&L JB Fullerton Cool high quality Jazz Bass from G&L, made in the USA. Its a very classy appearance with its metallic red (I'd say it's pretty much candy apple red) body finish and matching headstock. The build quality is as you'd expect from an expensive USA G&L. The bass feels good and sounds like a good jazz bass should. Pictures: The bass is in a very good condition. It has a few small usermarks, but has an overall fresh appearance. All electronics and hardware work like they should. The weight is very moderate for a jazz at 4,3 kilo's. The original heavy quality G&G tolex case in included. Asking €1.450 I am located in the Netherlands, but registered shipping is possible at buyers risk. Tradewise I am interested in (old, avri) offset Fender guitars like Jaguar, Mustang, Duo Sonic...
