Where do you keep finding these Karl.Would love to have it,but my PBass seams to be stuck .😊

Might be worth keeping Rich, the way new & used prices are going. This one was in a Deluxe case under the stairs 😃 (although the case doesn't belong to it & isn't included).

Thought I'd give it a run out last night & very nice it was too.

Made in 2008 for release at winter NAMM 2009. 
These early models did not have the circular CNC route under the scratchplate, so can be used with the plate off, which I do. 
Original scratchplate & screws are included.

THEY DID, however, have ROAD W stamped into the body as these first ones were select Alder & the first non Fender Custom Shop Road Worn finish basses.

Weight 8lb 14oz.

Comes with original tatty but functional gigbag.

They have a very good rep, please do your research.
As they are now discontinued (last rrp was £1279) they will most likely come up less often.

Sale as I need the money.

Collection from Darlington preferred, or buyer to organise/pay for own courier.

Feedback available.
Thanks for looking,
Karl 

Just seen, gutted 😪

Badges are a disappointment.

Not so sure about Root Beer finish being limited, might want to double check that.

What I am sure of as an opinion borne of personal experience, is that these basses are ridiculously under rated.

Compound radius neck & fretboard with wheel truss rod adjustment.

Relatively light weight.

Very powerful & versatile pickups that sound astonishing with flats yet punch for Britain with rounds.

IMO these should change hands at the same sort of money as Deluxe/Elite P or J's. IF I ever sold mine, it would be for more than this!

GLWTS.

Leo decided to buy a Strat it seems 🤨

Amazing basses. Seemingly harder and harder to find now. 

Discontinued for a couple of years now apparently.

@ash Leo Moreton on Facebook North East bass bin group is looking for one mate. I've just messaged him to have a look here.

Good luck mate.

❤️❤️❤️

Oh dear I've had a bit of a moment 😍

That's stunning Martyn.

Mine is the passive one Andy, this one  was originally active.

@karlfer I don’t notice the string spacing if that’s any consolation??

great basses! The necks are super fast

That's because you're Australian & have the IQ of a possum 😆.

When we next meet I will accept the smack in the mouth with good grace 😂. Keep well dude.

Bump.

It's 41.6mm Tommi, standard for these models.

It also comes out at 8lb 15oz on the luggage scales so pushing it for you my friend.

Keep safe mate.

Super condition, with flats, I rarely use it now, jazz or 40mm nuts are the thing.

It transpires that Chrome Silver is hard to photograph if you are a useless klutz, hence the less than stellar photos. It was also a short lived colour so they don't come up often.

Case, truss rod tool, candy & bridge hex keys all included.

Trades. Unlikely but I can be weak. Price is cash price. It was £729 in 2003.

Prefer collection or meet halfway (up to 100 miles radius of Darlington).

Courier, UK only but buyer will need to sort. As far as I know UPS are about the only one that properly insures & will pay out. A quote to Guildford was £74 insured, hence buyer needs to make their own decision I'm afraid. Generally cheaper to meet now imo.

Feedback linked after the photos, many thanks for looking.

Love it but didn't realise the string spacing at bridge was slightly less than 18mm.

Cracking bass for the right person at a great price imo.

@bigmuff69 Mark, in the unlikely event it falls through I have cash or an unusual colour USA P.

Again I say bugger 😭

Bugger!!!!  😭

😮 ❤️

Davey has just bought a bass from me.

Absolute joy from start to finish and he decisively took over the role of logistics controller to pull it all together 😄.

He is another one of those folk who embody the spirit of Basschat, just a real pleasure to meet. Completely recommended.

Enjoy the Jazz Davey, my thanks for everything,

Karl.

On hold thanks.

Last knockings if anybody is considering one of these basses. 

Likely to come up less frequently and unlikely to become cheaper.

It's a cracking bass  however my go to Jazz is my Elite so rarely used.

I have unnatural feelings for that black Dingwall D-ROC, so this is back up for sale.

VERY near offers will be listened to if buyer makes it easier for me 🙂

Loving this bass!

Time to out my Road Worn back up I ? think.

Withdrawn, too good to sell to get a clank plank 😁
