Hi guys - I've started this thread again because the last one developed into a debate on paypal. So, for sale: a stunning Fender USA Ltd. edition Jazz '75 re-issue. It will be supplied with a good quality, hard-shell case. It sounds as good as you could hope for a bass with such historical importance and plays like funky butter. I'm looking for offers around the £1050 mark or interested in trades for a Ric 4003. More photographs to follow.

The ebony jazz, with antique white scratchplate in colour.

For sale: an absolutely stunning example of the Jazz bass, complete with J East J-Retro 01 pre-amp and added, chrome, genuine F plate to finish with a vision of bottom end perfection. It also has a hard case - non-Fender this time, but very good nonetheless. I'm looking for offers around the £700 mark, or I can take out the J-Retro ( if you are like, well, [i]mental [/i]or something) and then make it available for £590 - or very near offers. Unless someone wants to swap/trade/haggle with a Ric 4003? Either way I'll be happy - more pics to follow. Of course.

Just to confirm that today, I had a PayPal transaction take place (funds paid to me) with [b]no [/b]resulting charges. When on the send money page there are two sub-tabbed options 1. Purchase 2. Personal By choosing personal>other the result was [b]no [/b]charge. I hope this is of help to some.

Hi guys - XT it is. First come first served

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='352073' date='Dec 11 2008, 07:23 PM']Lovely looking bass Aandra. Bonnie wee lassie too even if she looks a bit dour. Must be a Helensburgh maid?[/quote] She's not from Helensburgh, but got here as quick as she could. The lass, Celin, is a Londoner.

In response to the PM's I've had about the price - I paid £1400 for it, so I'm looking for [b]offers [/b]around the [b]£1075 [/b]mark + shipping. Or you can of course collect it from me in person in Glasgow for a tenner to cover my petrol.

[quote name='Danny' post='352030' date='Dec 11 2008, 06:42 PM']Lysdexia I like the way you tease us by giving the photos out gradually, keeps people coming back to your thread. A couple of weeks back I spent ages looking through literally every photo on your flickr account, they were amazing you have a true talent. Now where's that next photo?...... [/quote] Thank you! Photography is great fun - processing the images for viewing much, much less so. I spend maybe 30 hours a week planked in front of a screen editing So, I'll get more up shortly. Feel free to order a print in the meantime

[quote name='BassManKev' post='352021' date='Dec 11 2008, 06:34 PM']send money as a gift using paypal, that avoids all charges[/quote] Cheers, Kev, that's much bloody simpler than my cack-handed explanation!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='351942' date='Dec 11 2008, 05:01 PM']Nope... you've lost me on that one! I'm looking to sell a couple of basses Internationally and one guy in the States needs to pay via PayPal (quite a substantial sum, so I'll be hit for about £100 in charges), if we could do that without incurring charges we'd both be over the moon; are you saying it can be done?[/quote] Example 1. If I was to send money within the UK - you have two, tabbed options to send as 'purchase' or 'personal'. If the money is sent as personal>other then PayPal accept that as a private transaction and there are no charges for using it. Example 2. The chap who just bought a bass from me in Holland, did not have the choice available to him and so had to send it as a purchase. PayPal charged as they would for any eBay transaction. So, you would have to check with the buyer if he has the option available in their country.

More to follow later.

[quote name='OldGit' post='351922' date='Dec 11 2008, 04:44 PM']Hiya That's interesting about Paypal .. Can you just clear up the difference though? Both look like >personal>other [/quote] Well, they are the same, but one I referred to when you DON'T use that option and then again to indicate the service can be free if you DO use it. I just found out, for example, the folks in Holland don't even get the choice.

I play bass, I photograph models. Being able to bring them together is really tough for me. But, you know, for you guys...I'll soldier on

Hi guys - a stunning example of this bass, limited to a run of 1,000. Finished in metallic candy apple red with matching headstock and pearloid scratch plate. More pics to follow BTW - I don't mind accepting paypal, but please be aware that payment can take 3-5 days to clear and also that [b]if you do not[/b] send the money as >personal>other, then PayPal will charge just as they do on eBay. [b]If you do[/b] send via >personal>other, then it is free! It also seems that not all countries have this option, so any extra charges will have to be met if you want to pay via paypal.

Pictures of the front and back of the unit for sale itself.

This is the unit itself for sale, complete with power supply and manual - but no box. Will be packed within an inch of it's life for delivery though. Dunno what these go for - but feel free to make me an offer around the £75 mark + £7 for insured delivery.

Hi Guys - selling my Bass POD XT Pro in pristine, never gigged or even out of my wee home studio condition. It's one of these in case you didn't know I'm looking for £200 + £10 next day, insured shipping. Cheers!

Last call before eBay

Hi Aharon - this is an edit of your first photograph with the Stingray on the bed. Cheers.

[quote name='Veils' post='348774' date='Dec 8 2008, 04:16 PM']My guitarists have decided[/quote] That's the thing with pet guitarists - give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

[quote name='gafbass02' post='349018' date='Dec 8 2008, 08:38 PM']Ain't it just!! James was also a pleasure, and welcome to the family![/quote] What a bloody bargain!

Hi Aharon - I hope you don't mind me editing your photograph, but I had one of these myself and know how beautiful a bass it is. Deserves to be presented as well as it can be Edit - on second thoughts, I'll wait until you let me know it's cool to post this image for you. Just PM me and let me know.

Any questions - just ask!
