    [quote name='Bassassin' post='871054' date='Jun 18 2010, 07:16 PM']You ever noticed that 2/3 of BC's membership appears to be in Bristol?[/quote] Good to know that because if a bass doesn't turn up at mine soon then I may well be calling upon a handful of Bristol BCers (rather than BCer's Bristols) to go knocking on a door in the very near future!

    Of course you could always buy it, replace the bridge with a stock Fender type (cheap) then sell the BA on eBay for £80ish [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130400078487&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] That makes for an even cheaper bass!

    No it isn't! It even tells you what it is on the headstock you fool. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Aerodyne-Jazz-bass-guitar-Japan-/110548318061?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item19bd31776d"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Aerodyne-Jazz...=item19bd31776d[/url]

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='870070' date='Jun 17 2010, 05:59 PM']I am NOT a Fender expert, but description & photos both say 1972 bass with the wrong neckplate to me. Nice restoration judging by the (not awfully good) photos, and even with the non-original bits that should still go for about a grand IMO.[/quote] Tend to agree with you HJ. However, IF the seller went to the trouble of having the bass 'professionally' restored, it may be that the seller is hoping to get good 60's money for it. Time will tell if the reserve is hit.

    Possibly £100 more than you wanted to pay but the extra versatility built in with the rear pup (but you don't need to use it if you don't want to)... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=91149&hl=fender+Precision+usa"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...r+Precision+usa[/url] The neck is a lot more manageable than many P basses that I've tried.

    If you decide to sell them and the price is right ( ) I'll take the lot, with the exception of the slightly used set.

    Both links are for the same listing Dave.

    [quote name='Heartbreaker' post='865112' date='Jun 12 2010, 12:36 PM']Have you strill got the standard Fender pups with it? PM sent.[/quote] No, I believe the original P pup was retained by The Gallery. As Fender don't do a 2009 USA PJ bass that I am aware of I may have just taken for granted that folks would have realised that this is a USA P bass (not the old 'standard' P bass mind) with the J pup fitted after but I think it best to make that clear.

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='864138' date='Jun 11 2010, 10:49 AM']I'll vouch for the awesomeness of this bass. It lived with me for a few months while I came to the slow realisation that I need 5 strings and no frets. Buy with confidence, people. This is a lot of bass for not much money, and John's one of the nicest guys alive.[/quote] Cheers Owain.

    I hope the eBay Police don't pick up on "No PayPal"... that's an instant tug for the listing!

    There's a maple boarded version on eBay at the minute... sans Jazz pup! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USA-Fender-Precision...4#ht_500wt_1154"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USA-Fender-Precision...4#ht_500wt_1154[/url] The case etc. is the same as this one.

    I'm going to replace this with a cheaper bass (possibly a P/PJ bass, so will accept those in part-ex), as it is only being used as a back-up bass and that's a bit daft! It is a 2009 USA Fender P bass which had the P pup replaced with a Nordstrand and the J Nordstrand pup fitted all done by The Gallery; at the same time they fitted the Badass III bridge which retains the original thru-body stringing. The bass is immaculate and comes complete with the latest Fender hardcase with the 4 clasps, all case candy and truss rod bar is there. These latest models really are cracking basses, with great attention to detail like rolled fingerboard edges etc. the bass has approximately £250 worth of extras added. The bass is 9lb in weight and any subsequent trade offer would have to be a 'maximum' of 9lb but ideally lighter. The only other bass I'd be interested in is probably a MM Sterling ideally in a sunburst/cherryburst. [s]£750[/s] £725

    Are you interested in trades Geoff?

    I have a pup for sale with the ability to alter some of the frequency centres... Not sure if it would be better or worse but it might be just what you need! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=87409&hl=sd+pup"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...9&hl=sd+pup[/url]

    [quote name='molan' post='859418' date='Jun 6 2010, 10:43 PM']This really is the only bass that I have any kind of serious GAS for. Out of my price league though - I should really have jumped on the last one hat came up for sale here [/quote] +1... though it's not the 'only' bass that I have GAS for!

    Had my moulds done at 'Specsavers' (don't laugh) 3 weeks ago, so they should be with me for next week. I went for 15's in the end as I'm not playing as loud as I used to and at the end of the day 15db reduction is preferable to no reduction and damage to my my ears (I have been using a type of preformed plug for about 8 years any way).

    [quote name='Clarky' post='855656' date='Jun 3 2010, 08:23 AM']Last one on this site went for £700 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=19257&hl=Jass+Deluxe"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...;hl=Jass+Deluxe[/url] while a 5'er of the same model went for £800 ono. You can search the FS forum. Sorry to disappoint but depreciation on used Fenders is a bit nasty (I know having sold a few myself!)[/quote] It may be worse than the OP imagines Clarky, as the bass you've linked to was actually a USA 'FMT' model... Some Deluxes have sold for even less than £700... £650 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=81362&hl=jazz%20deluxe&st=20"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...eluxe&st=20[/url] £600 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=82145&hl=jazz+fender+deluxe"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...z+fender+deluxe[/url] There have been other similar basses advertised for more but they tend to sit around for a while (with one famous example taking quite some time to sell). Good luck with the sale though.

I love the way in the space of a couple of hours the same person incrementally checks out the other bidder and bids it up... I always shy away from these auctions!

    Sunbeams all the way for me as well

    Don't use a lot of wax (if any) on the neck and not on the fingerboard as the residue isn't that great for player comfort (or string life if used on the f'board). If the bass is in regular use then the natural oils from your hands will be sufficient to keep the neck oiled and as has been said a wipe with lemon oil when you're changing strings will do the trick. You can wipe the back of the neck with a light wax but if it needs a bit of extra polish just use the lemon oil you use on the f'board. As to some Warwicks looking very polished etc, you'll find that player use/wear is the best thing to get them looking good. The older boards look a lot more slick than 'some' of the newer ones and part of that is use, part is the cut of timber used.

    Is this your amp Oliver?
  24. warwickhunt
    Warwick SS I basses have the P reversed and logic does dictate that it would tighten the E & A strings but you have to ask why old Leo did the way that he did in the first place?
