Hey, I'll have this is if it's still available? I'm not far from Plymouth

Thanks! I love it, the sustain is bonkers but I've got too many basses at the moment and the van needs work unfortunately 😔

Hey, it's VVT

I think the time has come to sell my 1985/6 Steinberger XM2. Built in the original NYC Steinberger facility, it features a one piece graphite neck, maple body and the original EMG HBs, originally designed for this very bass I believe. It's in good condition for its age, but has some swirling and minor scratches to the finish. When I got it, the bridge pickup preamp had died inside the casing and EMG couldn't/wouldn't try to repair it and I couldn't find anyone else wanting to do so, so I had replaced it with a new EMG HB. It's the exact same spec but is obviously unoriginal. Had a fret polish, new strings and a setup this evening and it feels and sounds incredible, the neck is super resonant and responsive. Comes with the original gigbag, which is a bit worn but still functional and even some old 80s packaging Steinberger strings which are past their best but a cool bit of memorabilia. Seen these listed for 2400 online but due to the changed pickup ( original broken one included) I'm listing it a bit cheaper.

Hi Rob, Sorry about the delay on this, I wasn't with the bass over the weekend. Weighs 4.5kg/9lbs 9 by my scales. Cheers, Matt

So I've been contemplating this sale for a while and finally talked myself into it..for now. This is my lovely US jazz bass. It's a bit of an oddball in that it's a transitional 1978 spec and serial but with an '83 heel stamp. Towards the end of Fender's time at Fullerton, they started using left over parts (hence the 78 neck, bullet truss and three bolt). I got this bass with no electronics and so put an EMG J-Set in it. It's had a small route under the pickguard to facilitate a battery without having to route the back. For some reason, it has a walnut shim in the neck pocket. I don't know why, I've never bothered removing it and it works perfectly fine with a nice low action and super punchy 70s tone. It's had a small neck repair just behind the nut (pictured). I've seen 78s with this same repair sell for £2400+ so pricing it at £1300 which I think is fair given it's lack of originality. Stripes are just a decal and I can remove for the buyer (but they look rad). I honestly love this bass and will be really sad to see it go.

Could you DM me some photos please? Nothing is showing here for me on mobile either

Selling two of my jazz basses as I'm doing a bit if a clear out at the moment. Aerodyne Jazz £600: This is the DLX and so features the gotoh hardware throughout and is a particularly svelte lightweight example. Seen its fair share of gigging and has the marks to prove it (see pics), but sounds absolutely excellent. Inlay blocks are just decals from previous owner but I liked the look so kept them on. Get a Jap fender for the price of a mexi standard! Bitsa Jazz Bass £750 Bought it from BassBros earlier this year and have just put a brand new Vintera 50s Precision neck on it as I took the jazz neck off and put it on another bass. It's a mid/late 80s mij ESP body and pickups, with Schaller machineheads and roller bridge mated to a Fender MIM Vintera 50s roasted maple precision neck. It's then strung with LaBella gold flats. Sounds and plays wonderfully but just not getting the use. Body has some gorgeous flaming to it! Happy to posta s required 🙌 Happy to post either as required.

£1400 posted, last offers before traded in tomorrow 😔

Hey, thank you! It's a killer looking board, isn't it?! I see that Chris has already answered most of it but weight on my scale is 8.818lbs or 4kg exactly 👌

Price drop to £1550 posted to mainland UK 👋
