Hi mate, long time, hope all's well. I think £400 would give you a rather nice Jazz, and a rather lightweight one at that. I was thinking of spending a bit of time sanding & oiling the body and making a few cosmetic upgrades (removing the biro), but happy to sell as is. I found a rather unique Fender on eBay last night so need to move a couple of things on, I'm sure you understand Cheers Chris

No need to get a grip mate! The first jazz is interesting; the neck that's currently on it, a Musikraft which I bought in the listing below, is not only sublime, but also works very very well with the Jazz body, better than it does the Precision I bought it for (it's somewhere between Jazz and Precision in dimensions). It also fits the blonde body like a glove. In short, the whole bass with the Dimarzios and circuit works really quite nicely, which is always an unpredictable element in putting together bitsas. I'm deliberating about whether to sell the body as above or the whole bass, it feels wrong to keep the two parts apart if you get my meaning. The problem with Jazzes for me is that I love the idea of them, but never pick them for gigs or recording, so they just end up sitting in the studio for the occasional noodle. Bit of a waste of money really!

Thanks Harry, happy new year mate Likewise thanks Nik, and likewise happy new year. Yep, it's got lovely tone, I'm using it with a 2x10 Mesa cab and it's perfect for getting decent tube tone without any shouts form the wife/kids/neighbours! I haven't used it as a pre but mostly because my amps are all tube, but might give it a try anyway! Cheers. Chris

Folks I need to get my garden studio insulated and if there’s any money left over, need to buy a head with a little more heft than my current unit (we tried getting our drummer to use lighter sticks but he just broke them all). So, I’m going to list in this thread loads of stuff that has been sitting around in various cupboards, drawers and boxes for several years, as well as a few things I’d rather not sell but which don't really get used that often. All prices include postage, but please be patient, there used to be four Post Offices within walking distance of my house and there’s now one, and that’s just been ‘upgraded’ to an automated service that even the folks who work there don't fully understand. In short, postage might take a week or so! Happy to haggle, but no trades thanks Loaded bodies Warmoth Jazz Bass body loaded/Dimarzio PAF Jazz PUPs/Kiogon harness with series/parallel switching/standard BBOT bridge.

Folks I bought this recently from Julian/Soulman. I have to do some work on my studio and could also use a new gigging head so much as I'd like to keep this, I'm going to move along all non-essential gear. It's a 5w all tube unit that will happily drive a cab at living room levels, that is you can get tube pre/power tone without the volume. It has a very pleasing tubey tone that and quite a wide range of EQ options, If you like tube tone at bedroom levels, or want to record a decent tube tone through a speaker, this is worth a try. There's a nice review by BC'er disssa here https://www.disssa.de/reviews/preamps/h-k-bassmaster/. Original manufacturer blurb here http://hughesandkettnermicroamps.weebly.com/batt--bass-master.html. Being very helpful people, they've even outline the full range of connection options on the case! When I received it the tubes were a little noisy so I've replaced them with a pair of new JJs. I paid £200 plus postage plus £40 for the tubes, so it owes me a few quid, but I'm happy to get it to you for £200 posted. Happy to haggle (a bit), but no trades thanks Cheers Chris

WTF is it with Mesa gear at present? This is a sublimely good head that blows most of the competition out of the water, so £450 is just silly money. Looking at some of the gear that does sell here, I simply don't get why this hasn't....?
