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

Hi I’m in Bath near Bristol

Lots of interest but still here for now

On hold

On next Friday 12th unable to attend. Face value £160. Will pass on e-tickets 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

Ah my old bass. I can vouch for its excellence, everything about it is just right, and the Bart upgrade sounds fat. Plus Lee is an absolute gent to deal with. Someone’s going to be happy

I’ve a feeling I’ve seen this one in action. If so it is a great sounding bass. GLWTS

Aaaah Chris why do I ‘need’ every bass you put on here!?!?!

What value is the cap?

Thanks @Marc S it’s cool as on the strap, very light and pretty bargainous with the hard case too if I say so myself

Great basses, I gigged the fretless version for 10 years solid. Excellent value

Lovely

Good condition, price includes UK postage. Pics to follow, cheers

Thanks chaps, I bought this to defret as I had one before that had been done, and it sounded fantastic

Bought this with the intention to defret it as the piezo and Equis preamp are excellent plus XLR and jack for recording. Incoming Godin A4 means I’m moving it on.
