    I had a Jaguar bass for a while - it has the same neck dimensions as the Geddy Lee Jazz, should you fancy a different body shape option. Also the Precision Lyte has a similarly shallow and narrow neck. Both are smaller than a standard Jazz neck. A good many Peaveys have very shallow and slim necks, some I believe are top quality instruments. If you can find one, a Peavey Fury has a similarly shallow and slim neck, but with a P-Bass configuration. I tracked one down courtesy of Flat Eric and it is lovely. Inexpensive to buy but really nice quality instrument

    [quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1372631518' post='2128006'] The weight is coming out at just shy of 9lb, [/quote] Back from holiday reply - wasn't being rude Possibly a little bit heavy for me. Thanks for that, anyway.

    Bought some strings from Ted for a good price, arrived promptly and beautifully packed. Wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again. Thank you, Sir!

    No need to be, sir. I am sure there will be plenty of other Jazz basses come along. Just not yours!

    I just think it is funny!

    Light enough for sure. And you aren't very far away, either. I am on holiday as of early tomorrow, back late on 8th. If you haven't sold it by then I will get back in touch and maybe give it a try? But, obviously, if someone comes up with the readies in the meanwhile then my bad luck!

    Are you able to give the weight of this accurately, please?
  9. Paul S
    Yes please - PM headed your way.

    Sounds like it might be a bit too heavy for me if it is over 9lbs. Thanks. Out of curiosity, where in the world are you?

    I wonder what improvement there is over a Mighty Mite neck? I have a MM Jazz neck on a P bass and it is great - I'd say better than a MIM Fender neck, which is the lower cost option from Fender. The USA necks are substantially more.

    I have this one at home [url="http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/160666857537?var=gv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=65&ff19=0"]http://compare.ebay....&ff14=65&ff19=0[/url] which is fine for home use for seven basses. I'd guess not such good quality as the Hercules, though. Same thing about standing away from the wall.

    Can you accurately weigh this please? Ta

    You might find a Westone bass within your budget. A Thunder/Thunder 1A/Thunder Jet or Spectrum. All decent, well-made instruments, eminently gig-able basses and better than anything else you'd find for £100 IMO. A Thunder Jet bass went on eBay recently for under £70, for example. I have a Thunder Jet bass with Seymour Duncan pup and a P-retro and it is a monster. The lower end models aren't fashionable and don't fetch anything like their worth secondhand.

    All interesting stuff - thanks guys. Keep those suggestions coming!

    Dingus - thanks for that. I wondered. Stingray Pete - too heavy, sorry!

    Er, yes, 2 grand is more than I had in mind. Fender Roadworn maybe a good starting point. But I guess it is like everything else - I kept trying P-basses until I found one to settle on. Or two, actually. I like the idea of the Geddy Lee one but even that is a tad heavy. Question - do Aerodyne Jazz basses sound like Jazz basses? I've only ever heard two at gigs and they both had so many effects it could have been anything.

    I have this on my mind so will post it now, despite going on holiday Monday. I sometimes get GAS for a Jazz bass but all those I have tried are too heavy. I just had to move on a beautiful E series MIJ Squier Jazz that sounded and played like a dream but at 10lbs was just too heavy for me. Are there any models that are nearer 8lbs out there? ta!

    TC Classic 450 plus Barefaced Compact/Midget does the job for me set well below halfway. Loud heavy rock band with volume level set by drummer when not going through the pa.

    Pleased to be the first to leave feedback for Agostino, who bought my E Series Squier Jazz. Nice friendly chap to deal with and a very straightforward transaction. A pleasure doing business, Ago!

    I used to drive a Citroen Berlingo and the load space in that was immense. Plus a level loading platform - no lip to negotiate so big cabs on castors used to slide straight in. I once took me, guitarist and drummer, complete with all our respective kit, to a gig. I now drive a Skoda Yeti that is superior in every way - apart from load space. More than enough for me + 1 guitarist, though.

    Some pics. I have removed the J retro and put it back to stock with the white scratch plate and chrome bell plate. However, in pushing on the tone knob I seem to have busted the pot so let's change that trade value to £200 tried to highlight the dinks and damage, such as they are. There are some dinks around the bottom end near the strap button and a scratch near the screw for the jack plug end of the bell plate. These were there when I got it. There are some small chips around the edge of the neck pocket that I managed to do when I put a fretless neck on it - apart from that it isn't in bad nick for nearly 30 years old. Included are the black bits in the last pic.
