Up for sale is a rather lovely P bass I bought from the excellent @bigthumba while back. I decided I ought to have a P even though I mainly play jazzes and I just don't play it enough to keep it. I'm going to use Mr Thumb's words to describe it. This is a 1995 bass and just wonderful in my humble opinion. The body is nicely off white and the fingerboard lovely and dark. The scratch plate is a replacement red tort that looks so much better than the white one it came with. The pups are stock but the loom has been replaced with a top KiOgon one. It's strung with a newish set of Labella flats. It has small chips, scratches but most notably the dink on the front just above the scratch plate. But apart from that its in nice nick for a 26 yo bass.
Weight is roughly 9 lbs 4oz but thats according to the kitchen scales so it may be + - a bit. The nut is 40mm.
The bass comes with the Fender tweed case as pictured.I'd prefer collection from London (EC2) or Somerset (TA11 7DT), but can arrange a couier (or you can) at buyer's cost.

Absolute bargain.
I sold this excellent bass to Gareth just over 10 years ago.
It would have been good to buy it back especially at this great price however 3 Jazzes are already too much.
Good luck.
Thanks karlfer … you’ve persuaded me to keep it! What’s one more jazz right? WIThDRAWN

Yes, as soon as you photograph the bloody things you realise how good they look and start getting cold feet!

Withdrawn… decided to keep it.
Up for sale is my Fender Japan '75 Reissue in Olympic White, with a bound and blocked neck and tort plate. I bought it from @Gareth Hugheson this forum for a very reasonable £700. Since then I’ve swapped (Tim Marten did the work) the Bill Lawrence J45 pups for Aguilar HCs (J45s will be included) and it’s wearing a new set of Thomasik jazz flats. Bass has a few battle scars and small mods - flush straplocks on the upper horn and on the back (in a Dingwall inspired move) and a Kiogon wiring loom with a push/pull series/parallel switch on the tone pot. Serial number is P046083, which puts it at either 1993-1994 or 1999-2002. It’s a lovely thing… looks great, sounds great. Selling because the old adage ‘you can’t have too many jazzes’ was disputed by my wife. Turns out you can have too many. Bass is in Somerset, but can be collected from London EC2 with a bit of notice. I’m asking £675 which seems good value given the oversupply of pups. No hardcase so postage (at buyer’s expense) would need to be gigbag inside bass box. Weight? Dunno. Will check, but it’s no twinkle toes.

Unlined adds to the Kudos and mistique... I think it would have to be unlined and start on ear and muscle memory rather than watching all the time?
Thinking about it, have you ever seen a lined violin, with the added faff of draggin that hairlybthing to make a squeak!
Yeah, but have you ever lived with a teenager who’s learning violin? Nasty stuff.

I'm still working my way around frets!
Yeah, me too. Love the idea of fretless but it would probably end up gathering dust.

unlined looks so so so much better... gonna have side markers surely?
Yeah, it does look better. But aren’t lines better for a newbie?

Lovely looking fretless BB1100s. I was seriously tempted, but the neck’s unlined and I’m not sure that’s a good entry to fretless. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-BB1100S-fretless-bass-/294294532984?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Hi, does the battery sit in a standard jazz bass cavity? No modification of the body required?

Hadn’t thought of that… it does seem like the kind of bass a 17 year old would own (or am I being unfair?)
Yes… I realise I probably am

I think this is a case of the owner's mum or significant other telling them they must sell one of their basses, and listing it for for that price will ensure it will never sell.

Andy bought my Yamaha BB450 and despite ParcelForce’s best efforts to derail the deal all went well. Andy’s really pleasant to deal with and super knowledgeable (esp in relation to BBs). Deal with absolute confidence.

I've owned a couple of these SQ's over the years and they are very good. If funds allowed I'd be all over this but sadly they're not. If you were interested I'd be happy to help.
Thanks… my heart says I’m interested but my head (and wallet) says no. In any case I have your fantastic P to scratch that itch

Yeah, I love the idea of basses finding their way back to their original owner. A bit like a Lassie movie (if you're old enough to remember them).
