If I sell my Marcus Miller Jazz before this one goes, it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine!

If you wanted to buy one of these new, it would cost at least £930 (rrp £1222!). And that would be the Mexican-made version. [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-marcus-miller-jazz-bass-natural-maple/15834"]http://www.gak.co.uk...ral-maple/15834[/url][list] [*]The East preamp would set you back another £230 (plus fitting costs, if you couldn't do it yourself). [*]A bone nut could well be over £50 (not that I've ever had one fitted myself). [*]Wizard Hammers are no longer made, and are very well thought of by many J players. They are my personal favourite J pickups. You might be able to pick up a used set for £80 if you were [b][i]very[/i][/b] lucky... [/list] So a new MIM Marcus Miller J, with similar upgrades to mine, would cost upwards of [i][b]£1320[/b][/i]. All I am asking is[size=8][b] £800[/b][/size]. [i]You[/i] do the maths!!

Any interest in a Marcus Miller Jazz? 4 string, with significant upgrades?

[quote name='juliusmonk' timestamp='1391628933' post='2359490'] significant buckle rash (I guess) on the battery compartment cover, where the screw has been replaced. The 'damage' is also apparent in the wood immediately next to the cover screw, to the left of it. It all pictured below. This all has no effect whatsoever on the bass, other than cosmetically. I have tried to account for it in the cash price. [/quote] Lovely basses these. Would love to own one again. Shame about that scratching on the back though - someone really made a mess of that!

What does it sound like compared to a Fender Jazz? And would you be interested in a trade (with cash my way) for my Marcus Miller J?

Now [b][i]definitely[/i][/b] on hold pending trade

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1391766057' post='2360974'] Oh go on then..... Is it any good for metal? [/quote]

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1391680455' post='2359977'] Larger! [size=6]AWESOME! [/size] [/quote] Not larger than a Vintage, I hasten to add! [i]Does[/i] Alex make anything larger than a Vintage?

[quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1391684620' post='2360061'] GL with your sale. [/quote] Likewise!

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1391680159' post='2359973'] not something vintage by any chance? that would be a shame [/quote] Actually..... No! Think something larger.... And I think it will suit me better too.

Tentatively on hold pending a possible (Barefaced!) trade. Mods, please don't lock the thread yet - will update when I am sure what is happening!

[quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1391327792' post='2355711'] A 4 or 5 string bass with some serious thump-with money my way even better. 34" scale only Dark or strong colours preferred Must be light-medium weight. [b]Trades?[/b] Something like a Sandberg VM, Precision Deluxe, top of the range Ibanez SR, G&L Stingray, Yammy....[/quote] Any interest in my lovely medium-weight Marcus Miller Jazz?

Lovely! If you offered shipping you would open up your bass to a much bigger audience... Just an idea

A beautiful, beautiful bass! But 14lbs?! Crikey.... Still - any interest in trades? I have a lovely CIJ Marcus Miller Jazz (I see from your sig that you like Jazz basses!).

[quote name='cd_david' timestamp='1391438872' post='2357137'] You never know, the markets so slow for spectors ATM you may get the cash before I get a sale [/quote] Ain't that the truth! Gorgeous basses, but you just can't give them away just now! Jazz basses are selling like hot cakes (well, except mine...). Anyway, have a bump!

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1391450021' post='2357301'] They are pretty rare and awesome [/quote] I think this may be my ideal cab... but I just can't get the bloomin' cash together!!

[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1391459107' post='2357458'] Thanks to you, I now need two [/quote] Just stop it -you're [b][i]not[/i][/b] helping!!

Pics added for your enjoyment... PMs replied to. And sadly I can't stretch to an EAD Foundation unless someone buys my Marcus Miller Jazz...

[quote name='Bassdriver' timestamp='1391457218' post='2357423'] Someone really must buy this though. I nearly bought another the other day but I have amp repairs to pay for and really don't 'need' 2 vintages. [/quote] Nobody [b][i]needs[/i][/b] two Vintages.... but having owned one (and misguidedly traded it!) I now want another. I'd be satisfied with one though, honest!

Well I play an occasional bit of slap and tend to have a reasonably "toppy" tone, and find that the Compact handles it admirably. Depends what you are used to, I suppose. They don't have a tweeter of course, so there is no much "sizzle" - but I don't miss that. Out of interest, how much cash would you be talking? I have my eye on a BF Vintage, but I've always wanted to try a Foundation... yours is the 2x12 isn't it?
