Thanks for the smooth deal Paddy! Cheers -
Paddy bought a bass from me. He's great in communication and all went smooth without any problems. Great reliable guy to deal with. Cheers

Actually I saw a few pieces that he has on ebay for years, with recently raised prices, in euro's....... 😁

Anyone who's checking ebay for used bass or guitar gear must be well known with this German seller that seems to be specialized in offering a lot of crap.... I think this is even crappy for his standards: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FENDER-MUSTANG-USA-CHARCOAL-EDITION-a-la-JIMI-HENDRIX/173693280838?hash=item2870ed2246:g:VWYAAOSwQf9bjURb Really, where the f does he source this...?!

Thank you! The old radio's are just for decoration unfortunately. They havent been kept in a barn for years by the previous owner which pretty much destroyed the insides. But I love the looks🙂

Off course I didn't respond full of happiness because of this inappropriate selling behaviour. What did you expect🤨? But I only kept and keep to facts. We had a little negotiation about the price like is normal, and we BOTH AGREED on a deal soon. You would send me payment details for completion. So that is were it becomes rude to cancel for a slightly better deal. Just don't agree with a deal when your still busy with other possible buyers, that's just weird. If you were anxious about shipping, you should not mention that your willing to ship and should not shake hands on a price + shipping. In your ad you mention that you're happy to ship, and now you say shipping is the real reason of the cancelation... This is not slagging, it's just facts. It's my experience with you as a seller. You just don't keep your word. I won't discuss about this anymore. All has been said.

Got a deal with this BC member. We agreed about price, shipping and payment method. After closing the deal the ad was put on hold for me. A day later when I expected the payment details, I got a Pm with cancelation instead. Because of a slightly higher bid he got after closing the deal. I'm disappointed by this kind of behaviour, and highly dislike it. I don't think I will ever understand this mindset some sellers have. This is not a nice feedback, but it's the truth about this seller. (in meanwhile I already sold one of my basses at a too low price, to compensate for the purchase quickly. So feel a bit double fckd). Cheers

ON HOLD: 1969 Fender Mustang Bass Competition Blue
SurroundedByManatees replied to Cobretti's topic in Basses For Sale
This was on hold for me. Though seller didn't kept to the deal because of a slightly higher offer afterwards. Not cool. -
G&L Asat bass Very cool semi hollow version of the Asat bass. It has a beautiful sunburst finish and has an optional wood binding. The bass plays great and sounds even better. It's very versatile and has some lovely powerful tones. There are only minor user marks to be found, no serious damages. All electronics and hardware work fine, and the neck is straight of course. Frets have just little wear. The original hardcase is included. Asking €1.250 (£1.125) The bass is located in the netherlands, but im happy to ship within europe/uk at buyers risk and expense. Trades/partial trades with cash my way are considered. Per example; a cool old Japanese bass, the right Stingray (lacquered neck early 90s, 2eq preferred), musicmaster bass.... Feel free to tempt me. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Fernandes The Revival RJB-75 Jazz Bass Great copy of a 60s Fender Jazz, made by Fernandes in the first half of the 1980s. This is the higher RJB-75 model. It looks great with its matching headstock: This bass plays and sounds great. Hardware and electronics work like they should (it has the reverse tuners) and the neck is straight. The frets are in great condition as they were levelled and dressed a few months back. There are some (minor) damages to be found, though overall this bass looks great for its age. There is a little what seems to be glue remnants near the nut. It is fitted with Fender flatwound strings on the pictures, but now has rounds on it. Not sure what brand. Adjusted price again: €630,- / £570,- Update: Shipping (with neck and body seperated) within europe/UK is now included in the price. The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I´m willing to ship within Europe/UK at buyers risk and expense. Costs will be around £30 when shipped with the neck detached, or around £70 with the neck fitted and with crappy hardcase. Payment in euro's per banktransfer, PayPal (family/friends) or cash on pickup.

If it's original and technically OK, I'd say it's a very good deal. And it's a 2eq, so that's a plus (imo).

It's a 82 jazz with dots and binding. It's kind of a transition model.

All went good! :

They are! I would like a precision special (car, rosewood preferred) that doesn't weigh a ton... Not sure if they exist😁
-
I haven't compared them with other j sets, but I would say moderate output. I remember them as being full and musical sounding in my bass. I do not have the bass anymore. I still have a set of unused tone rider pickups though. They'll make a great upgrade for a future purchase ;).

It appears that the whole fretboard has been renewed. As there is a layer visible between neck wood and the fretboard, to adjust radius for the new fretboard.
