Ok ok ok... Made a huge error of spending. This arrives with me in the next day or so, but rather than back out of a deal when I know sellers need to offload - I’ve just made a decision to get real and pass on a good deal. The Farida basses have a big place in my heart. I played a big part in some of the fuss surrounding these basses in about 2010/11, and ended up with two “custom” versions I’ve used for 9/10 years. I also released into the wild a Hybrid FJB-6 fretless in white with Duncan 1/4lb pickups. The Farida factory makes for lots of major brands - notably the same factory who made the squier Classic vibes everyone went bathsh!t crazy over and the Fender Modern Players everyone praised for being lovely basses. They punch well above their price. And I’m annoyed I can’t keep this one. Super slim and lovely neck, 21 frets...the necks are brilliant on these. I only have one picture to hand from the bass chatter I bought it from - I will add more as I get it. It will receive polished frets and oiled fingerboard and then a setup - if needed. I’d planned to make a Musicman in a jazz type bass - but got too giddy and spent more than I should’ve done. Price includes shipping in UK, can be reduced if you’re willing to collect from my path (observing social distancing) in Manchester/M27. Thanks - Andy

Hmm. If anyone knows of an ash/maple HPJ for sale - or the sunburst one which was for sale on here a couple of years ago...think @mingsta has it.

That’s lovely. Very very lovely.

We’ve discussed this before. Natural and rosewood on J Basses is a no. And it’s a size thing...I like the wood throbbing in my hands to be girthier as you well know. Anyhow, I know you love a good sunburst...

Don’t worry - imagine actually being me. It’s a futile existence. I actually don’t enjoy my processes at all - some people are so hard to understand, they barely understand themselves.

Got 2 Sadowsky’s, and I love the HPJ. The RV4 is awesome and lovely, but I prefer the fuller HPJ body and the sound. Its immaculate bar one tiny little “is that an eyelash?!” Mark where it rests on your knee. I’m only interested in a specific trade - another HPJ but with a maple board. Preferably natural. Depending on condition - could just be a straight swap. Light, under 9lbs, VTC, “MetroLine” 2016. Morado (Pau Ferro), Alder body, light sadowsky case, tools etc.
