El Capo

Hi all,

Got this in a trade and whilst it's a pretty awesome little thing, I'm interested to see what else is out there for trade, or possible sale.

It's got some scratches, marks on it etc. but nothing hideous.  The neck has some marks (slight discolouration) but strung up you don't really notice (or feel) it but I'd rather disclose for completeness!

If trading, we'd need to be face to face (distanced, of course) so Swindon, Cheltenham, Evesham, Worcester all doable as I get around with work) but I would prefer a sale.

Postage at cost, but I've no case so we'd either need to buy one for it (G4M foam case at £45) or risk neck off postage.

Cheers,

James

Hi Dave,

These ones do have the routing gap around the pickup, so not pretty without the scratch plate sadly? 
 

Neck fit is incredible, it stays in without screws!

Cheers,

Hi all,

Another lockdown project haha!

It is:

Genuine Fender Mex neck (from a Mex deluxe)

Squier Classic Vibe Body

Wilkinson Tuners

High Mass bridge

It sounds awesome, plays great - new set of rotos on there!

Could consider trades but would need to be local

Delivery £25

Am I out on valuation? If so, do try me with an offer!

Brand new, removed from a 70s Classic Vibe without even having been played!

With tuners.

Lovely thing! I. Must. Look. Away.

Haha, and you’re local too

Price dropped to £785 ono!

Have been asked for more pics, so here we go!

Scratchplate is back on

Mine (for sale...cough!) has the grounding strip...wondered what it was when I first got it!

Seen something I wants (the precious!) so would consider an offer on this for a collection this weekend. Trades for Fenderish stuff most welcome.

Thanks @cascanicoff - it’s a beaut alright, feels amazing too and the Nordstrands are crazy good!

This thing is insanely well made. Just fitted with Elixir 45-105 and plays like (good) dairy-based animal byproduct!

Nordstrand P/J pickups, amazing EQ and lighter than air thanks to that gorgeous Ash body.

Comes with Ibanez gig bag. Collection preferred but post at buyers cost/risk etc. 

Yep, Gordon Smith about 20 years ago...custom order, my exact specs...and I hated it!

Hi everyone,

This is my 'old' Japanese Fender Jazz. I put ‘old’ in quotes as it is, quite - I’m just not sure how old! 
 

When I bought it I was told 1986 but I think that number on the neck says 1991/1992 which I think tallies with the serial, apologies for the smudge on the picture (grubby hands!)
 

Anyway, what it IS, is a lovely thing. Battered, bruised and clearly full o’ stories. It sounds HUGE and has a warmth and mellowness to it that took me by surprise. Nut has been repaired but it’s solid. It’s just had the frets dressed - all level now and buzz-free with a good action.  I had originally thought it may need a re-fret but was very pleased once they were all levelled as although they are low this makes for a silky feeling playing experience.

Certainly interested in trades for another bass, an active jazz (maple neck preferred) would be awesome and I’d rather deal face to face if possible...I’m based in Malvern but Evesham, Cheltenham and Swindon are my regular work haunts.  I'd need cash my way though as the name of the game is to free up some £££ or I wouldn't be selling.

Any questions just yell, I have gone a bit bananas with the pics in the hope it gives you all the info you need!

Cheers,

James

Anyone seen ‘street’ price for these yet?

Now just £175! 

Fantastic piece of kit! Fully working.

Collect from Worcester or delivery at cost

Yes I was pleased too! Looks great without the plate I think!

Still for sale

Ah balls, didn’t upload, sorry!
 

Try these for size

Another lockdown project, now has the headstock reshaped, Fender bridge and CTS pots!

Also fitted a lovely set of Nickel machine heads.

Just strung with a new set of Flats, this has ‘the thump’ for sure!

Bit of a lockdown project, now rebranded as ‘Blackcat’ but originally an SX. Upgraded machine heads too as the originals were pretty notchy!

Ultra J pickups, CTS pots, Neutrik jack socket and new set of Rotos! 
 

Plays and sounds awesome.

Oops, incorrect post!

I always find EMGs to be excellent pickups, I doubt you can go wrong!

If anyone wants the neck, we could sort something!
