  1. Just bought a bass off Dan.

     

    Comms were exceptional as was organising the courier to deliver on the day I needed (bit of a week this week).

     

    The bass is in exceptional condition, the packing was better than most retailers and it arrived on the day requested.

     

    It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with Dan, a superb ambassador for Basschat & a credit to himself.

     

    Deal with utmost confidence.

    All the best & my thanks Dan.

    I‘m considering cab options for my OTB an 2 x OBC112 is a strong contender for the portability an flexibility. Can you get the full power out of the amp or do the speaker struggle to handle? Thx.

    Only if you wish to do illegal fracking 🤣.

     

    Seriously even in the biggest non pa support gigs you will never struggle to be heard. The speakers do not struggle.

  3. Absolutely lovely guy to deal with & I can't believe how quickly & efficiently he sorted things out.

     

    He's also a really nice guy to deal with. And patient, oh yes, patient!

     

    Fully recommended, another great asset to Basschat.

    Enjoy the bass Jimmy & thanks again.

  4. As always, just such an easy & pleasurable experience when Brian buys something off you.

     

    He is brilliantly organised, very decisive & him doing his part makes it easy for the seller to do their part.

     

    Absolute joy Brian, many thanks again,

    cheers,

    Karl.

    This is such a bargain. I’ve played the US Ultra, at £2K and there really is nothing to choose between them, and the 2-piece body nicely grain matched and nice tint to the neck give it a proper air of quality :)

     

     

    Indeed, it is a bargain & a quality bass.

    Little touches such as the sculpted neckplate (as seen on Pro 11) and the raised pole pieces on the A & D of the Jazz pup.

    The 12" radius fingerboard is a wonderful playground.

     

    Nonetheless it's more disposable to me than my Geezer 😁

  6. My Mex Special P/J hasn't gone yet, whichever goes first, the other gets kept.

     

    This is the one where they came standard with the Custom Shop '62/63? pick up ( I can't quite remember which year).

     

    The colour is a pig to photograph and under stage lights can be anything from black to white. 

    Lovely dark rosewood board.

     

    Superb condition, sorry, no offers, no trades, this series doesn't come up as often as you might think.

     

    Weight 8lb 12oz, original mint green plate, hard case & all case candy included.

    Sad to see it go but it doesn't get used (I only use Jazz profile necks now). 

     

    Feedback available, thanks for looking.

  7. Entry level made in America bass with fittings of a slightly lower spec than American Standard, namely cheaper bridge, tuners & pick up, no string through body, no carbon neck reinforcement, no hard case.

     

    The body is also 1/8th of an inch thinner than the American Standard, hence slightly lower weight on average.

    Also reputedly marginally thinner neck, front to back.

     

    In my opinion, these are excellent basses in their own right, congratulations.

     

    Oh, and welcome to Basschat 😁

  8. Further PM's replied to.

     

    For clarity, I think the price is very fair to both buyer & seller. They don't come up too often, they are very high spec & with current circumstances I doubt the newer version will get any cheaper.

     

    OFFERS

    The only offer I would accept would be £625 WITHOUT the gigbag.

     

    COURIER

    I'm reluctant but I would get a box from Halfords however buyer would need to organise & pay for the courier. They can make the decision on cost & insurance.

     

    Thanks again,

    Karl.

    Ooooh, that neck looks divine! 18v too. If it wasn't for the fact I'm looking for medium and short scale basses at the moment, I'd be all over this. Looks superb. GLWTS.

    It is Dunc. Not many Precision bodies with factory Jazz necks.

    Quite a lot of features on this bass came from the American Deluxe Series(the predecessor to the Elite then Ultras).

  10. This series of basses ran from late 2016 until replacement by the Player Plus last year.

    UNUSUAL high spec for any Fender, let alone Mexico.

     

    Precision body

    Jazz neck (the Player Plus appears to have gone back to standard P 41.3mm nut).

    Similar logo to late 70's

    12 " radius fingerboard (again unusual in Fender).

    Medium jumbo frets

    Sculpted neck heel

    Precision middle pup

    Noiseless Jazz bridge pup

    Passive & Active (18 volt, lot of headroom).

    Vol, blend, treb, bass, active switch, mids (treble works as tone control in passive).

    Fender High Mass Bridge

    Fender gig bag

    8lb 14oz

     

    There are some dints on the back, near lower strap button, from where it fell over.

    The price reflects this.

     

    Wonderful to play with a huge tonal palette.

    Reason for sale is simple, I got a black, ebony boarded Geezer Butler.

    Feedback also available elsewhere.

     

    COLLECTION from Darlington preferred, or will meet half way, within 100 miles radius of Darlington.

    Thanks for looking.

  11. OBT mk 11 with two OBC 112's, killer portable rig.

    Simple, powerful & light. Plenty of tones in it but of course you have controls on your instrument and pedals if you must.

    Just an opinion, but my permanent gig rig now.
