Thanks chaps All pm's replied. Sorry but I have quite specific needs on trades as per post #1 Cheers, Karl.

Thanks James, hopefully a trade

Discussion on the bass here with innards photos. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/289763-fender-experts-late-70s-jazz-query-please-help/"]http://basschat.co.u...ry-please-help/[/url] Quote from a massively respected Fender expert who is a member here. (If the gentleman concerned sees this and would like me to remove it, I'm happy to do so. Was VERY grateful for his help!). QUOTE "It all looks legit to me. The made in USA stamp came in 1976 when the logo changed, some of the early 76xxxx serial numbers have it too (before they became S7xxxx). The gloss neck and clean hardware is so typical of that era, many folks get very suspicious with the late 70's gear because it ages so well! Looks like a lovely slapper that one" END QUOTE. IT'S 9LB 1OZ When I got the bass it had no case, I'm including a Fender badged Hiscox. Just been fully set up, electrics cleaned, truss rod/neck checked, new D'Addarios by Richie Tomson, Tomson Guitars, Wigan. ISSUES. Case is not original. Pick up routs look like they have been done by Shaun The Sheep but Richie assures me it's all under the finish an "is not unusual on a late 70's Fender" Reason for moving it on. I have just joined a show group, who I thought were way out of my league, but having drugged their drinks, I passed the audition. I've been told no backline on stage. I've been told they would "like" me to get a period correct 1950's style Precision. When I know the full circumstances I might sell quite a bit of backline and withdraw this lovely bass. TRADES I am looking for an American Vintage 57 Reissue Precision, plus £700 to me. or A Mexican Road Worn Series 50'sFender Precision plus £1000 to me. I would far prefer either of those to a sale. I would also far prefer a meet up, and I'm happy to drive a good distance to facillitate that. Any trial in Wigan. Please be aware that once I know EXACTLY how I stand regarding backline etc, there may be amps and cabs come up to fund a 50's Precision of some kind. Cheers, Karl.

THAT is a steal for a Japanese 75 reissue!

Very nice. My Sunburst's serial number is only 18 after yours GLWTS

PM'd

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1471201158' post='3111245'] I've removed a couple of posts due to them being inappropriate, unfortunately it has left the thread looking a little messy. Karl maybe it would be best to remove or edit your replies now. [/quote] Done, many thanks for your help Gary, apologies for me getting a bit antsy . Cab withdrawn.

[quote name='andytoad' timestamp='1471199497' post='3111218'] It was mine, it really is not that heavy Dunc! Great cab. [/quote] No it isn't, but I have to lift all my gear over a car at 2am or later, after gigs. I thought it would be a bit bigger than a SuperTwin but it's rather a lot bigger than a SuperTwin. My fault. I was secretly gutted when Steve got it out of the back of his car.

Hello Jamie. Are these MK1 or MK11 ? Do they stack vertically (I know they have unusual plastci corner pieces)? Are you likely to look at courier eventually? Good luck, Karl.

Out of curiosity Ed, what is the wattage rating of this wonderful cab?

I just got this off Steve. Astonishing sound, but too big for an old git like me. I under estimated the dimensions. I am asking more than I paid. Steve was really helpful with a meet and I put 6 hours driving and a lot of fuel into collecting. I am prepared to do the same again. Hence the price. If somebody collects from Wigan, more than happy to chat about the price. If you don't like the price, then you won't want to buy it will you TRADES. GEN3 SuperTwin with cloth front. The BIG fella of GEN 2. Don't come up too often, this model. Just insanely powerful. Very good condition although the handles are showing rough, 3 new ones from Alex are £16. Bass in picture not included, just to provide scale. This fella, at this spec, delivered new, would have set you back £1170. Plus the cost of the Roqsolid cover. Will meet up, no extra charge, within 100 miles of Wigan.
