These are great - played on at @thebassgallery last year and was genuinely surprised how good it was. I think at the time it may have been the first time I played a Fender Jazz, absurdly!
Thanks Cameron, I actually bought this from the Gallery!

Hi Graham. What does it weigh?
Hi Chris I’m not actually at home for a few days. Isolating with my sis. Will weigh when I get back, but from memory not too heavy at all. (TBC)

Hi Dave don’t really know, not a Warwick man. Tapping with a steel knife inconclusive. Id assume it’s not brass unless someone else can enlighten cheers

Moving on this lovely 'wick as its not getting gigged. This bass sounds amazing, really powerful and versatile, if I had a use for it I'd keep it.
Early (1999) German model with Wenge neck and fingerboard. Weighs 3.8kg
Flame maple top and Swamp Ash Body. Passive MEC J and MM pickups with Seymour Duncan 3 band preamp. Black hardware. Bronze frets and Just-a-Nut
There is player some player wear above the pickups, one of the tuners has been replaced and has a silver W logo on the back rather than black.
Price includes postage in a Warwick semi-hard case, cheers

Good lord 😎

I have no scales I’m afraid, but it’s neither light nor heavy. I’d say high 9lbs. Sorry that’s not the most accurate

After some consideration selling this stunning Van Der End jazz.
Pretty sure the body is Ash, maple neck and board. Gotoh gold bridge. Schaller tuners with detuner, original tuner also supplied.
Aguilar OBP-3 preamp with sweepable mids and mid switch, passive/active switch and passive tone.
Pickups are Jess Loureiro, great, warm sounding and react really well to the active controls. I have gigged it in active and passive though and it’s a joy to play.
The neck in particular is a standout feature in these instruments, not thin or thick, just really playable and nice low action. This example is very clean too.
I've had a custom black guard made and a setup done since I’ve had it.
Points to note. The electrics cover at the back has chips out of a couple of corners. There are screw holes (filled) at the front from earlier fettling. It’s been routed for precision pickups too, so could be made into a PJ if desired, not the greatest job, but then you don’t see it. The volume catches slightly on the stacked balance around the centre detente. Easily sorted if required.
So there we are, these are £2000 new, the price is bargainous and it owes me more. Will post for £25 in a fender gig bag
Trades not looking for anything, but precision’s are my thing, and quality cabs/amps always of interest
Cheers

I tend to rest my thumb on the end of the neck but move back for a tighter sound without any probs. A thumb rest would be easy to add I guess

Good lord what a beauty
G&L SB2 vintage. **sold**
in Basses For Sale
Posted · Edited by grahamd
Sadly moving on my G&L SB2. I believe this to be 1982 or 1983, when Leo Fender was very much at the helm still, I like to think he had his hands on this one.
Finish is Nitro as early G&Ls were, but in remarkable condition for its age although has its marks. Neck is sublime and with the MFD pickups sounds badass. Original radio knobs. The control plate is tarnished but easily restored if so wished. Will come in a practically new Gator hard case
Thanks for looking
