  1. Thanks Mr Blake sir, it made rather a lot of people happy last night. Or was that the drink 😙
  2. I have just got an Am Elite Jazz with passive stack knob/series/parallel conversion. Black, black & maple. Hence the reluctant sale of this excellent S1 jazz. You push in the S1 switch & your jazz sounds a lot more P. In practice, I've found the S1 option excellent on a jazz & useless on a P. Only my opinion. Upgrades are SD Basslines pups & string through body Badass 111. Weight is a nice 9lb 1oz. Options; £700 in very basic gig bag, an excellent price for buyer & seller imo. £750 in brand new , not yet left the house, tweed style case (as per photos). No trades thank you (UNLESS it's a Sunburst Road Worn Series P or J) COURIER, fine as long as you organise & pay for it. Just tell me what day it will be collected. Any trial in Darlington, your rig or mine, no obligation. Will meet up within about 60 miles of Darlington. Apologies for photos, since moving back to Darlo we have no garden & there's all sorts of weird reflections in the garage . Cheers, Karl.
  3. Bought new 6 months ago, at £550. Barely used as left band in north west to re-locate to north east. 555 watts, mute, mid control, vintage control, VERY sensible master for those on stage tweeks. These guys explain it better than me https://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/listing/epifani-piccolo-555-bass-head/3981737 This is a bit half hearted, but having joined a new band, I really think an Orange Bass Terror with my Super Twin is exactly what I currently need. Extra £25 UK mainland insured courier Any trial in Darlington
  4. Another splendid transaction with Phil, just so easy as ever. Great guy to deal with, and always a pleasure to have a chat with, whether we are hoss trading or not at that particular time. Can't recommend Phil enough, all the best mate. Very interesting gardener going to work story 😮😆
  5. Yes, I know, you said that last night 😆
  6. This is an American Fender with graphite rods & factory fitted BadAss 11 at a couple of hundred quid less than some used Japanese basses, c'mon peeps.
  7. ANYBODY buying this before I get the funds together, will get a visit in the small hours, with a shaped piece of finest willow!😡😂
  8. Jameson & ' Arry, some one trick 😙
  9. It's Highway One with changed bridge. The Highway One has the graphite support rods in the neck, & the "TV" logo, unlike the earlier, cheaper Highway 1.
  10. No trades thanks, I need to actually sell something rather than yet another trade.
  11. Thanks for the PM's folks. All replied.
  12. WITHDRAWN too good to let go.
  13. Try it if you can. I've had a couple. Good in many ways, but; no forearm contour thing, both had pick ups that seemed weak to me
  14. Popped down to see Pete today & relieve him of a jazz. Much musical stuff put to rights & frankly a jolly good chat. Even had Brinsley Schwarz on his screen! Absolute pleasure to meet him & he was so accommodating with me getting"ducks in order" to get down to his gaff. Fully recommended as a top fella me lad (by House of Dwarf Vader). Oh, the bass is bloody brilliant as well 😄 Cheers Pete.
  15. If ( as it implies) it has serial number starting MX8, it was built in 2008. Fender built a decent stock level up late in 2008 as the series were to be released in Jan 2009, at winter NAMM. Only one initial run as they obviously had little idea how they would sell, especially as it was rumoured at the time some US dealers were less than enthralled at the retail for a Mex.
  16. On so many levels Martin. It's been up for 2 weeks now, usually I just let them drift after that.
  17. Splendid 1st run example, made late 2008 for NAMM 2009 release. In the unlikely even of my AVRI FSR 75 going, I'll be on the A1. GLWTS
  18. Interesting. I've looked at the photos of the one that sold on T*** Bass in the States in 2016 (link in 1st post). That also looks like it's one piece of Ash, at least my old eyes can't see the join.
  19. 9lb 3oz, same as it says in the first post Loz ya muppet 🤣 I would have thought it would be 2 piece Ash, but I'm buggered if I can see the join 🤔
  20. Gen 1 & 2 were Super Twelves, not Super Twin. Nobody would get mine for this bargain price 🤣
  21. EUROPE ! I now have a Fender cardboard box as well as the case, so I can open this sale up to our European members, HOWEVER, a deal needs to be like this. Buyer pays £1000 GBP into my bank account, by bank transfer. This reduced price is to help EU buyer with courier costs. This is a BARGAIN!!! people are asking a grand for some Fender Japan basses. Remember this is AVRI, FSR. Have a look at used prices for STANDARD AVRI's. When the payment has cleared, buyer then arranges & pays for their own insured courier. Buyer tells me what day bass will be picked up. Buyer deals with courier in the unlikely event of any issues. These don't come up very often, may be a long time before another comes up. You need to trust me. My embarrassingly long feedback suggests you can, cheers, Karl.
  22. Best looking Sterling I've seen. 😍
  23. All PM's replied, thanks for all the interest.. And yes, this Factory Special Run of the AVRI 75 Jazz DID sell for £2100 in 2013. Considerably more than today's Original Series 60's Jazz.
  24. Yup, definitely one I should never have let go Dougie, hope you're fine fella. Thanks Mr. Jones it's certainly a very good bass. That nobody appears to want to buy or part trade for 🤣
