Hi James, Just PM'd you. Oggy

[quote name='Philly' post='715875' date='Jan 17 2010, 06:40 PM']I have a 2001 Fender US deluxe, pretty much mint contition, just one small laquer chip on the side of the neck, tried to show it in the photo. Burnt orange, rosewood neck, 18V active noiseless pickups. Comes with mint condition original hard case. Lovely bass but I have an active Lakland JO jazz and they do the same thing. [s]£800[/s] £750[/quote] Someone! Anyone! Please tell me why this Jazz hasn't gone - It's a thing of beauty.:wub:

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it’s about time someone bought this………………. Anyone know the previous record for a thread length? Oggy

[quote name='drewm' post='731355' date='Feb 1 2010, 08:53 AM']Which is why someone should snap this up [/quote] Hi drewm, PM'd you

Hi bassatnight, PM sent. Oggy

[quote name='bassatnight' post='728883' date='Jan 29 2010, 04:25 PM']Weekend is here type bump...[/quote] Hi bassatnight, PM'd you. Oggy

[quote name='ialma' post='725734' date='Jan 26 2010, 09:00 PM']Sometimes it's just a matter of luck, finding the right buyer at the right time. I'm sure your bass will go very fast, since is indeed a sought Grendel, which go in a 500£ range used. Crossed fingers (and another free bump ) for you![/quote] Hi ialma, I had a pm from a chap only a few min's after your first reply, no quibbling just "I'll take it". You didn't have a word with him; did you? That Stadium of yours is a fine looking machine, are you using it regularly? When I bought that Stadium I'd made my mind up I was ditching the Blues and "gonna play in a function band", I just couldn't do it. Nothing against function bands I might add, I've done enough 'Dad's Dancing' to them in my time, much to the annoyance of missus and encouragement from mates . I have to say that for the Blues, Blues/Rock and old style R&B I play in my current band the 'Cort C4P' has all the right noises, it just doesn't look the part and I'm a bit of a short arse anyway. My ultimate plan, for want of a better excuse, is to keep the Cort as a backup Bass and acquire an American Fender Jazz 3TS :wub: plus a Japanese Fender Precision Lyte (rare as hen' teeth - dark colour preferred), anyway, that's the plan. Thank for your words of encouragement, really appreciated. Keep in touch and let me know if your playing and what you play, always time to exchange views. Oggy PS. Have a listen to the MP3's of the current band at [url="http://www.lemonrock.com/bluestrinity"]Blues Trinity[/url], that' us with me on Vocals and Bass - I'd never have made it in a Function band .

[quote name='bassatnight' post='725542' date='Jan 26 2010, 06:19 PM']E-Bay it is then - Last chance at £675........[/quote] Hi bassatnight, "E-Bay it is then" I know that feeling :wacko: . Shame man. Oggy

You know!!!!!!!!!! I think Carebear has a point. Well spotted Carebear, don't suppose you'd be up for a trade on the suit? Oggy I love this site :wub:

Hi ialma, I just don't get it . Great Bass with a good pedigree for very little money but no takers . I could understand it if it was in rubbish condition but honestly it's like new. Thanks very much for the Bump - Fingers crossed. Oggy

Well Chaps, It looks as though I’ve lost my nibble for this bass . I’ll give it another couple of days then resort to the ‘Hell Hole’ called ebay - Agggghhhh . Not really sure what to think, I thought it was a good price for a virtually unused Bass, did I get it soooooooooo wrong . Still love this site though, great bunch of very knowledgeable / helpful members . Oggy

[quote name='giblett123' post='724796' date='Jan 26 2010, 06:32 AM']Thick question..is this one of the short scale ones?[/quote] Hi giblett123, It's not a short scale, you've got to streach those fingers . I've just added the Tech. Spec. in the ad, should have done this in the first place - Doh . Oggy

[quote name='oldslapper' post='724175' date='Jan 25 2010, 03:42 PM']you're not missing anything ! It's either for trade, and he's made it clear what he wants (USA Fender Jazz) Or it's for sale ....but there is not a price listed, in which case one needs to be put on, or the "for sale" bit needs to be removed. Makes no odds to me as I haven't got a US Jazz, or any money, but would love this baby sooooo much, I could pretend to be Ronny Lane and play Itchycoo Park.[/quote] Hello 'oldslapper', - no disrespect it's your screen name! To get rid of any confusion I've caused I've done an edit on the original post and taken the word 'Sell' from the Topic Title. I’ve never had the word ‘Sale’ either in the Topic Title or the post, I hope removing the word ‘Sell’ has cleared this up. I'm really sorry for causing this flurry of concern and confusion - It's a TRADE I'm after. Oggy

[quote name='blackparkas' post='724153' date='Jan 25 2010, 03:20 PM']But what does the bass cost? I can´t find the actual money asked for this bass anywhere, what am I missing?[/quote] Hello blackparkas, I've not put a price on it, only how much it cost me. I have said I would like to trade for a Jazz though. I never thought that trying for a trade could be so complicated, it's probably 'all my fault', it usually is - just ask my missus . Oggy

[i][b]“A thing of beauty”[/b][/i]. After trying a ‘few’ last weekend I can’t get my head around why you would want to part with it her. I’m lusting after one at the moment, but who would trade a “Beast” for a “Beauty”. Good luck with the sale, I’m surprised is hasn’t happened already. Oggy

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='723572' date='Jan 24 2010, 09:24 PM']well... I've seen the newer 09 onward jazzes go for £700 ish on here as 'barely used' but i bet most boxshifters on the interweb would do a new one for £830 in plain finishes and £900 ish for bursts. I work at a music shop and we have the jazzes from £830 ish, dependant on finish. A lot of places seem intent on shagging out fenders at heavy discounts at the minute. I knew i should have ordered my les paul bass before they were discontinued... Let me think on it, or, pm me with a price. I was on the hunt for a thundrrbird, but, that can wait.[/quote] Hi Andy, I pretty new at this so please excuse me if I’m not doing it quite right . It’s been my experience that buying from ‘box shifters’ doesn’t always work out that well, I like the old fashion personal touch along with doing the ‘try before buy’. My thoughts are that I’m more likely to get a decent trade from a fellow bass player than an internet site or a trade in at one of the big music shops. Bear with me – I learning. I have to say though that I’m really enjoying this site, It’s amazing how much knowledge the members have and are willing to share . Good luck with the Thunderbird quest, if your heart is set on one - go for it - but don't forget to look after your two girls. Oggy

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='723187' date='Jan 24 2010, 03:25 PM']deffo interested. How much as a straight sale, my two jazzes are staying put...[/quote] Hi Andy, Before I answer your question, and please don't take this the wrong way , how much do you think I'd have to pay for a new one? I only ask because the 09 ones I've been looking at (and trying) in the London area are +/- £900. I have a horrible feeling you're not going to offer me that though, dispite the 'beast' being pristine and all but unavailable now. I can fully understand you not wanting to part with two girls :wub:. Thanks for asking. Oggy

[quote name='flippyfloop' post='723210' date='Jan 24 2010, 03:42 PM']how can i persuade you to send to Brighton, UK ? Welcome to Basschat.[/quote] HI flippyflop, Nice to hear from you and thanks for your interest . You could offer to pay for the courier service and insurance! Have to warn you though - I've just put the Bass back in its case and stuck it on the [u]bathroom scales[/u], it comes in at 12,1 Kg's, I'd estimate the dimensions would be (after wrapping in some heavy duty cardboard) L 124 cm x W 42 cm x D 12 cm. The case, is as mentioned, is hand built like the preverbal brick doda, so unless it gets run over by a tank it'll be snug as a bug. Make a few phone calls to your local friendly courier service and see how you feel about it . Thanks again for getting back to me. Quite an interesting history with the Stadium, I didn't know any of it. Really nice that the more experienced members can keep an eye out and fill us in on this stuff - Regards Oggy Andy Hold The Presses - Disregard the above - My Missus has just had a bright idea, I hate it when she comes up with stuff like this. I could get on a train in Borehamwood straight into St Pancras, change, then get the train to Brighton! That way you would get the Bass, I could pick up the cash and best of all - you could buy me a pint and I get to use my Senior Citizens Rail Concession Card . Have to be on a Saturday tough - let me know.
