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:

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!!

You're getting a bill for cleaning out the coffee that I've just spat into my laptop!

[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

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.

Just sold an Squier VM Precision TB to Richard. He's a great bloke to deal with.
Comms were great & he paid straight away
Thanks for buying the bass mate - hope you enjoy it.

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]

bump!

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.

I sold my Bronco Bass to Karl today. He was a pleasure to deal with & a real nice guy.

Good to meet you Karl, thanks for a smooth easy transaction!

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!
