[b]Price drop - see below![/b] Hi All - I'm reluctantly putting my beautiful Maruszczyk Jake back up for sale. There's loads on the forum about how great these basses are & this one's no exception. It's a one off medium (32") scale build with a chambered body, a Jazz-style neck & weighs approx. 3kg (6.6lb) - the lightest Precision I've ever seen! The spec is: - Jake 4p - Chambered, 32" medium scale Body Wood - Alder with lightly flamed maple top and back Neck - Maple with Maple fingerboard, 7.5" radius, 2.64/1.20mm fretwire (medium jumbo), 38mm nut width. White 3mm dots in front, matte finish, Mr. Tee (Telecaster style) headstock, 'C' profile (22mm at first fret, 25mm at twelfth feet) Pickups - Haussel P with passive volume & tone Hardware - Hipshot Ultralite Tuners Colour - Redburst (red with black border) gloss (It was originally built with a different neck with a rosewood board, but I commissioned Adrian to build this maple one that was fitted by Maruszczyk back in Poland - spare neck is sold now). I've also fitted a Gotoh 201 bridge instead of the Hipshot Vintage bridge it was built with & I much prefer the current bridge (you can have the Hipshot bridge if you like, but I wasn't a fan). Home use only, so really good condition - only a few light wear marks.

If you're interested in a postal deal, I'd give me a shout & I'm sure we could work something out... Cheers, B. P.S.

On hold - that was quick!

Hi - reluctantly selling my Japanese Fender Medium Scale Jazz (JB62M). I imported this myself from Ishibashi in Japan & was a now discontinued non-export model, so a bit of a rare bass over here. Basically, it is a '62-style Jazz Bass, but slightly scaled down in proportion to the smaller scale length, which is a bit like playing one fret up. Since discovering the 32" scale I've pretty much given up on full scale now, as it's so much more comfier & lighter (this was weighed by Ishibashi as a very comfortable 3.9Kg, or 8.6lb). Condition is really good - I was told it is from 2012 & only has a bit of light play wear, which was there when I bought it. It plays really nicely & can't fault it - only selling it as I'm not playing as much as I'd like since the kids came along & it deserves to be played. I'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne & would like £500 collected for it. Postage could be an option - send me a PM & I'll see what I can do... Cheers, B.

Thanks for all the interest, but I've decided to withdraw this & hang on to it for now...

Bump - open to offers for a cash / collection deal...

Thanks for the interest - sold it locally. Cheers B.

[quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1472138834' post='3118832'] Wow, that looks lovely! [/quote] Cheers! PMs replied to...

Bump - still interested in a trade for a short scale bass

[quote name='basski' timestamp='1471703297' post='3115208'] love it !!! [/quote] Cheers!

Bump!

PMs replied to - I could do this for £550 posted. Cheers, B.

[quote name='Tonteee' timestamp='1471283178' post='3111823'] If I lived anywhere near Newcastle upon Tyne, you'd have sold this..... Is there no postal option? [/quote] Hi Tonteee - was hoping for a cash / collection deal ideally as don't have much packing material to hand for this. Will see if I can sort something out. Alternatively, PM me your location - know a few people who get around... Cheers, B.

[quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1471245744' post='3111420'] Free bump for a great bass. £200 is an absolute steal - one of the nicest Medium scale basses out there. Someone grab it - you can't go wrong. [/quote] Thanks Eric! Totally agree - build quality is up there with top-end SBs I've seen & it has a lovely burp played near the bridge. Only found one other advertised & it's a lot more than this - if I had more space in the house I'd keep it... Cheers, B.

Bump!

Bump!

Bump - surprised this is still here, so open to offers...
