    Not in the UK they ain't, Vintera up to about £860, the few RW's currently available are £1150 (P) £1199 (J).

    Mexico eh. P Bass Special Deluxe Series FSR (over 400 gigs with that now) & Road Worn Jazz
  3. karlfer
    Certainly is. There are 2 folk on FB who are " buying" , one of them this, the other my Road Worn Jazz. If I live long enough for either of them to pony up, the other bass will be kept., & sod the one who gets round to it last!

    Tough it out. They were going for £800 or more not so long back. £700 is a relative bargain. I've withdrawn my Jazz, it'll go back up in March at £800.
  5. karlfer
    They'll all be sorry they missed this Ian, when the new stuff comes in at £1400 next March.

    I have to say, that brought a big smile to my face. Kill me now!

    I came across a Uke Iron Maiden tribute band called Nylon Maiden. I'm still traumatised 😵

    Any more on this? I am looking to go back to wireless & don't really want to carry power packs, little cables etc, so these look excellent. My only slight concern is one review, where the guy had had a ding dong with Boss. Apparently the rechargeable Li-on batteries will only last 2, possibly 3 years, regardless of use. They are not replaceable, so the whole system has a finite life span. Boss fairly obviously don't advertise this. So, if I'm going to have to replace the entire system every couple of years, I need to know the system is good . I am aware that the tech is likely to get better within 2 years, but that doesn't affect a system I would buy now.

    Bass withdrawn Popped up on my newsfeed on FB last night, GAK Road Worn Sunburst discontinued. Another site had Road Worn Sunburst, pre-order for March, £1400, with Pau Ferro board. https://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-road-worn-60s-jazz-bass-3-colour-sunburst-rosewood/19359?fbclid=IwAR3O2Fvmy8L5MeT1-iLZc81KAOxn0TNsHDfAjv18uYPO5WVyLiI4tJSgFAs

    Simply passive, two stacked vol/tone, plus series/parallel micro switch.

    Coming to a Maggie's Bank near you in the not too distant future 😐

    Yup, good bass, shame they don;t do maple boards. Or perhaps they might ?
  15. karlfer
    Indeed, very good, rather well specced basses. Shame they never did them with maple boards.

    @ash I'd found this before, but didn't have time to look last night mate. The REVIEW on this link is very interesting imo https://www.guitar-list.com/fender/bass-guitars/fender-jazz-bass-one-piece-pickguard-cbs-models-1983-84
  17. karlfer
    Very rare 83, these are seriously under valued imo, mainly because so few folks know about them. The AVRI's from this year are now often changing hands at just over £2k.
  18. karlfer
    Is this one ?
  19. karlfer
    It's been up two weeks now, at around £100 less than many folk have asked for them in the past. A couple more days & I'll withdraw this. It looks like they are either going to be discontinued, or revamped at a higher price of around £1400 from next year (although there are a couple still available new in the UK at £1200). Unsold in two weeks is usually my time to think nobody wants it at that price. I may just put it up next March at £800 😆

    Not wanting to hijack, but.............. My Black/Maple Elite IV had a Ki0gon passive stack knob set up installed, with a series/parallel switch. Not only does it play beautifully but, for me, it just sounds wonderful, organic, versatile and just soooo smooth when needed.

    Wey ye canny take a jurk yees lads 😉. Ye need te larn yersel geordie. Cheers marra, divnt be a stranger.

    Gorgeous Nik (no, not you, you plank). That's a 70's reissue, most likely a P70US N the US meaning American pups. It will have model type in the neck pocket. Nut width will be 40 mm, same as a Nate Mendel. If my Highway One/Road Worn Jazz yada yada yada....................... GLWTS Edit. Most likely a non export, as most that left Japan had rosewood boards, so definitely less common than the already uncommon export ones.

    Wot 'e said!
  25. karlfer
    Well that serious question soon went to ratshit 😆 Had a bit of info slight revamp & around £1400, presumably a NAMM release. Makes sense of the pre-orders for March that I came across, at, yup, £1400
