NOW SOLD!! [quote name='tazza1' post='1257864' date='Jun 5 2011, 09:54 PM']I've just bought a MIM Fender Jazz so very reluctantly my VM Jazz has to go. It's the black '77 VM Jazz with black scratchplate & bound & blocked neck. It's in great condition with only the usual minor marks you get from playing it. It plays & sounds superb & I know I'm going to regret this but I need to re-coup as much of the money for the MIM as possible. I've been so impressed with this Jazz & I would love to keep it as a back up for the MIM but I just can't afford to. The Duncan designed pick-ups give these basses a real Jazz sound & they're really well put together. I'm almost certain I'll buy another one once I've got myself sorted out. Everywhere seems to be selling these new for £273 so I'm asking £180 which I think is a reasonable price. I'll happily meet up with the buyer within a 30 mile radius of Kettering in Northants if that helps. If that's not possible I will post at extra cost or you can arrange your own courier. Unfortunately I don't have a case or gig bag but I can box it up for delivery - I'll also remove the neck if you want me to. Sorry I can't take trades on this. I'll take some pics & get them up tomorrow evening but for now this is the model it is: [attachment=81837:46165_sq...ck_large.jpg] & here are the specs: Series: Vintage Modified Series Colour: (506) Black, (Polyester Finish) Body: Agathis Neck: Maple, C-Shape, (Polyurethane Finish) Fingerboard: Maple, 9.5” Radius (241 mm) No. of Frets: 20 Medium Jumbo Pickups: 2 Duncan Designed™ JB101 Single-Coil Jazz Bass® Pickups with AlNiCo 5 Magnets Controls: Volume 1. (Neck Pickup), Volume 2. (Bridge Pickup), Master Tone Bridge: Standard 4-Saddle Machine Heads: Standard Open-Gear Tuners Hardware: Chrome Pickguard: 3-Ply Black/White/Black Scale Length: 34” (864 mm) Width at Nut: 1.50” (38 mm) Unique Features: White Bound Fingerboard with White Pearloid Block Position Inlays, Black Skirted Control Knobs, Synthetic Bone Nut.

Just bought a Westone Thunder 1A from Chay. He's a great guy to deal with, the bass was as described, packaging was excellent & he despatched it very quickly. Thanks very much Chay - it was a real pleasure!! Steve

Bass takes less time than guitar

[quote name='spinynorman' post='1203052' date='Apr 17 2011, 11:01 PM']Setting up the PA and lights just gives us something to do while the guitarist is setting out his pedals.[/quote] & while the drummer is setting up the Myriad of drums/cymbals/stands that I loaded into the van earlier - three of which he may actually play during the gig! (he may even play one of them in time with the rest of us too). -
I exchanged my VM fretless Jazz today for Bluesman's '77 VM Jazz. The bass is in excellent condition, & sounds great. It was a pleasure to meet & deal with Bob & I'd have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone!! Many thanks Bob for an easy transaction.

Karl - What can I say? That looks absolutely fantastic. You've done a really great job on that & I feel quite proud that that was once my bass! I was surprised when I got it that the intonation was OK even though it was a 2 saddle bridge. I'm glad you're going to put it to good use. Hope the gigs go really well for you mate. All the best Steve

Vintage MIJ (formerly J@pCr@p) Spotting
tazza1 replied to Bassassin's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I had one of these that someone had resprayed red (it was originally white like this). They also sprayed the pickups purple! Fantastic bass though - crystal clear low "B" & you can get loads of different sounds from them. I sold mine after I bought a Dean DB95 5 string (another very underated bass). The guy who bought it stripped it back to bare wood & stained it. It looked fantastic when he'd finished it. They're great basses. [quote name='spinynorman' post='1158864' date='Mar 12 2011, 01:15 AM']I had this - the memorably named Vester OPR1335EQ. It was actually much better than I expected, well made, decent finish and good active electronics. But insanely narrow at the nut for a 5-er, and no resale value. I bought it for £100 and managed to lose money when I sold it. [/quote] -
Just sold an OLP 5 string to Alex. He's a pleasure to deal with. He paid really quickly too!! Hope you enjoy the bass mate.

When I was made redundant about 15 years ago I sold my Aria SB1000 so I could take the family on holiday. That was before they were really worth much but I wish I still had it. I was also struggling financially about 5 years ago & had to make the decision to sell my 90's MIJ Fender Jazz & my '72 Gibson slot headed EB3 (which I'd had for over 30 years) so that I could pay off the mortgage arrears - that was the one that really hurt! Ouch almost brings a tear to the eye even now!

No-one interested? - it's a lovely bass. There is a well written review here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=111"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=111[/url]

Hi, I've reluctantly decided to sell my VM Precision because I need to reduce my collection & this one is not being played. I bought this off a fellow Basschatter in January & I've hardly played it since I bought it. It's in very good condition with a nice low action, the necks got a lovely feel to it & the fit & finish is very good. I'm looking for £160 plus postage for it or you can collect from near Kettering in Northants. I hope Phil doesn't mind but I've included his pics as my camera has decided it's not going to play. Any questions please feel free to PM me. [attachment=74112:Squire_P3.jpg] [attachment=74114:Squire_P2.jpg] [attachment=74110:Squire_P1.jpg] [attachment=74113:Squire_P4.jpg]

I nearly did too - the colour looks great. But then reality kicked in - I got an Aero1 for Xmas & I've just bought PhilW's VM Precision & I'm supposed to be selling basses to make way for those two. I still want one though......... [quote name='Stuee' post='1104086' date='Jan 26 2011, 05:38 PM']Just managed to stop myself from completing the transaction... phew!! I just thought to myself, "Why?!!" I'm pretty sure I only wanted to buy one because it's such a good deal, and maybe because it would be another thing to nerd about with. I don't need it. Nah, I'm gonna buy an AERO1 instead! Doh! [/quote]

I can only echo the comments made by other members. Phil is great to deal with - a true gent. I bought a Vintage Modified Precision from him & it's in fantastic condition. I couldn't pay him for a few days but he very kindly agreed to wait & it meant that I got a bass I've been wanting for a long time. The bass was very well packed up (including a gigbag) & was despatched very quickly. Phil - thanks very much mate - it's been a pleasure to deal with you.

Yes I have to say that Geordt did seem OK in my dealings with him - I'm just too trusting I guess. Don't feel bad mate - I'm just glad I found out. [quote name='gafbass02' post='1102152' date='Jan 25 2011, 02:14 PM']I feel bad now :-( sorry mate, I actually think it'd make a great project and you should totally keep it for sale. I once paid about £500 for a signature myself. Luckily I got a full refund from Geodt who was fantastic to deal with to be fair.[/quote]

Yes sadly it probably will because there won't be much of it left in piece! [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1101822' date='Jan 25 2011, 10:23 AM']One day, even vintage Ikea furniture will be considered to be valuable antiques ...[/quote]
