Hooch

Got to reckon i usually paid more attention to feedbacks as a seller than as a buyer, as it often leads to 'Prompt payment, great communication' comments. And how it could be different ? Well, it's pretty different when the shipping isn't as smooth as expected, due to Brexit customs overload, and extents from 5 days delivery to 6 weeks. I do think that many buyers (including me) could have lost quite a bit their temper in such situation, Mark/Clarky never did. Thank you for your patience Mark.

Yeah it was quite a journey ! Thank you for your patience. It's a great Precision, glad you seem already enjoying it !

Super-powerful EQ tool, and pretty reasonable price for a pedal not available from the builder atm... Last batch sold out in less than 30 minutes, expect a few months before they're in stock, for quite a short time, just sayin' GLWYS !

Interesting, thank you ! This'd mean this tort plate is an all celluloid one ? It's from my 1966 Pbass but it aged in a different way.

It's now for sale, edited my blurb.

Sold

Somehow trebly with the Kay i guess 😁

Quite a bargain for what's probably the best solid-state bass power-amp ever built. Got the (a tad) lighter 500w mono version, many builders do a complete rig for its 42lbs or so, but none of them reach such thickness, clarity, and well, heft.

I'm listening ! Would much prefer a trade than a sale on this one.

Yeah it's just like earlier ones. They were prone to warp and shrinkage, this one aged superbly.

Editing my blurb as i don't have come across a trade deal on a 1965 or ealier Pbass atm. I'm still looking for one. If you got one you'd like to trade with my bass, i'll listen of course. Up for sale/trade is my 1965 Fender Jazz bass. It's not a case queen but in pretty nice condition. No refret, no refin, no wax-potting (neck pickup has a mask tape but no wax-potting), all original except volume pots and one bridge intonation screw (G one). Tort plate has no broken horn, almost no bend or shrinkage, it aged superbly like did the whole instrument. It's a great bass, neck has a nice broken in feel, and is dead-straight, with low action. Trussrod has almost no effort to do, and is super responsive when it does, pretty stiff and stable neck. It got a gorgeous brazilian veneer fingerboard, and resonant alder body too (period correct router hump of course). These L-serial basses used some serious woods ! 4,1kg on my bathroom scale. Instant jazz bass tones of course, with a round and articulate neck pickup and gnarly bridge one. The thing just sings, got loads of sustain with this instantly recognizable 60s jazz bass growl, everywhere on the neck. Amazing clarity. Sounds even string to string and just great with both flats and roundwounds strings. Pickups are in pretty good shape, tone, mids, and output at their best. Comes with original bridge cover and thumb rest, and a (quite battered) mid-60s Fender tolex case. Looking for £7500 / 8700€ for this one, shipping included to Europe.

Ready-to-ship bump^^

There's some chance pandemic leads to a severe lock-down, in Paris at least, lowering the price for the next few days: £1330 / 1560€ shipped to your door in Europe. New Bass Day for me tomorrow, i'll get a carboard box and will be able to ship the Yardbird.
