Lovely.

Sorry to be that guy but do you know the weight please?

She comes in at 8.8lbs. I've got a dodgy shoulder and I've gigged this in a pro function band numerous times without any issues. 

As a side note, the current flats it wears will be removed before sale and a set of rounds will be refitted. The flats have some sentimental value to me. It sounds great with either!

I'll confirm when I get home 👍

Now £295

Here we have one of the highly regarded Squier 40th anniversary gold edition jazz basses. This bass is the subject of multiple threads on here due it's general awesomeness! It feels like a premium instrument, looks fantastic and has a seriously punchy sound. It's  a massive upgrade over the standard Squier line and offers amazing value for money.

I didn't intend to sell this one but I currently have too many basses and needs must. You know how it is. 

Collection from Margate or I can box it up if postage is required. 

Note, I currently have a parchment pick guard on the bass but the original metal one (shown loosely fitted in the last pic) will be refitted prior to sale. 

Price dropped to £450! 

Available again. As mentioned above, insane bargain!

I have one of these and it's brilliant!  Why yours is still here I do not know!

Good question! 😁

Complete set of EMG JAX pickups with the EMG solderless loom in original packaging. These pickups sound great and are a fair bit warmer/more natural sounding than traditional EMG's. Only selling as I want an EMG PJX set! 

Manfacturers info:

The JAX Set is based off EMG's original J, but uses Alnico V magnets instead of ceramic and our X Series preamp. This creates a tone that is warm and open for a more vintage sound with a broad frequency range and added dynamic response and feel. The JAX provides bass players with natural presence, powerful lows, and expansive midrange.

With our X Series preamp on-board, this pickups set truly bridges the gap between passive and active tone - giving players the best of both worlds. Whether you play fretted or fretless you'll get an incredibly full sound with these bass pickups.

The X series preamp gives the pickup a more dynamic range along with increased headroom while keeping the more traditional string-to-string balance. X series pickups also come with an Active Tone Control (VLPF) designed to roll-off (attenuate) high frequencies, similar to a typical passive tone control. The result is a noiseless single coil guitar pickup with a classic EMG sound that bridges the gap between active and passive.

£100 collected from Margate or I can post via Special Delivery for £8.

This is now on hold 👍

These are all the Jazz Bass anyone could ever need, GLWTS.

Thanks 👍

I've had an embarrassing amount of Jazz basses and I have to agree, this does it all and feels like a much higher end instrument than the price would suggest! 

I forgot to add the pic of the Bass Centre case candy. 

I'll take £475 for this if anyone fancies it? Amazing value for money!

This is such an amazing deal, I'm going to pitch it to some of my students/students parents who need something a bit better than the Gear4Music garbage they've been using for the last 5 years...

Thanks 👍

Hello! I am totally in love with this instrument, it is very nice, and we know that made in Japan are good basses.  Would it be possible to send it to Spain? Do you have an agency that insures the instrument and is not very expensive? 

Thanks in advance

Hi, due to wondrous brexit, this is a UK only sale I'm afraid.

Really surprised this is still for sale. These are amazing basses and this one looks so cool. 

If I wasn't already trying to sell one, I'd be very tempted.

GLWTS

Me too. Thanks for the kind words. 

Price drop to £295. 

Price drop to £550 ono.

The non US models generally all have basswood bodies, so that is what I'd have thought this has, especially with it being light.

 

You can check out the Fender Japan catalogues for confirmation.....

Not that it makes much of a difference imo. I have a MIJ P with a basswood body and it's fantastic, EB use it in the Bongo too.

Great, thanks for the info 👍

Unbelievable bargain! If I could get on with the ergonomics of these (I had a US NS2), this would be gone. One of BC’s finest sellers too. I can’t see this lasting ‘til lunchtime

Very kind, it is now sold 👍

Another price drop to £1395.

Now £450! 

Bass Centre Guy Pratt Betsy bass up for grabs. The bass is in excellent condition, comes with the original Bass Centre gig bag and has recently been setup with a new set of Jim Dunlop Nickels. Much has been said about these basses offering exceptional build quality and tones for a shockingly low price, and I can only agree. They really take some beating! This bass plays and sounds great well with a very low action if desired. 

Here's the link to the Bass Centre page for more info for the uninitiated https://www.basscentre.com/british-bass-masters/bbm-betsy.html

Collection from Margate or I can box it up if a courier is required.

What a great looking bass. Has this been relic'd or is this natural wear and tear? Also, do you know if the body is Basswood or Alder?

Hi, it's a relic job, although it's more convincing than a lot of Fender Custom Shop basses I've played! 

I assume it's alder due to the prominent grain patterns, but I'm not 100% sure I'm afraid.

"Weird looking bass" how rude. Lovely bass at a great price, wish I had the cash,I'd need to defret it  though.

It comes with a pair of pliers for the DIY Jaco fan 👍

Fender JB62 Jazz made at the
Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan) in 1993 - 1994. 

I'm offering this bass up at a fair bit below market value as, you may have noticed, it's been interfered with. The body's paintwork has been subjected to a damn good kicking, but luckily the neck and hardware aging all seems to be what you'd expect from a 30 year old instrument with no additional relicing. Everything else is original, the frets are in good shape and the truss rod works as you'd hope.

I recently took this to a function gig and everyone in the band absolutely loved the look and sound of it. "That's much nicer than that weird looking bass you had last week." That was a Spector 🤷🏻‍♂️

It sounds great and plays wonderfully with a fairly low action for a vintage spec jazz. It's recently been setup with a new set of Jim Dunlop Nickel 40-100's and is ready to rock. 

It's light at just 8.5lbs and comes with a newish Tourtech gig bag. I can include a strap if you need one as I seem to have an abundance at the moment. 

Collection from Margate or I can box it up if you'd like to arrange a courier.

I made an unattractive snort when I saw this, bravo

 

And wow, now stop showing me pictures before I do myself a mischief....

Just two more.. I can include the Neotech Mega strap with the Spector as it maximises the phantom-bass effect! 

I can include a nice Greco strap (for that full Japanese experience!) and an old gig bag with this if anyone fancies it?
