Only six months old. Absolutely unmarked. Due to my rather frustrating current band situation it hasn't been gigged, and only used at rehearsal about 8 times... Plays like a dream! Does all the usual Jazz bass stuff, which is no surprise as this is basically their take on the Fender Jazz bass - but generally using higher quality components and finished to a higher standard. But most of you who know about this brand already know this of course. Neck is 38mm at the nut, and feels just like a nice J should - not too chunky and not too slim. Made from maple, with black blocks. "Satin" finish, which is very reminiscent of the Fender Geddy Lee J basses I have owned. Make the neck very "fast" and comfortable to play. Body is alder. Pickups are Delano, as is the 3-band active preamp. Bridge is an in-house model, rather like a Hipshot A-style in design. Matching headstock (as you can obviously see in the photos). Speaking of the photos, these are not very good but I've put this ad up in a hurry and will take some better ones when I get time... Weight (mass!) is 9.5lb (about 4.3kg), which surprised me as this bass does not feel heavy! Comfortably solid and beautifully balanced, yes. Comes in a gorgeous Maruszczyk padded gig bag. I am happy to package it up securely for shipping (at buyer's cost and risk) but would be happier with collection. I will also deliver it locally (if mutually convenient, within a 30 mile or so radius of Newcastle upon Tyne, or anywhere along the A69/A75 corridor) for fuel costs. I have lots of positive feedback, so buy with confidence! Ideally after cash, but I could be interested in trades as long as it doesn't involve me having to add any cash. Just four-string bass guitars though - and most interested in Fender Jazzes, G&L M2000s or EBMM Sterlings. Try me!

This is gorgeous, and I can't stop coming back and looking at it! I only need to sell one of my basses first...

Stunning basses with a wonderful sound! Lovely necks too. Nice to see a model with a decent bridge...

I should think so too - at that price!

Loving that matching headstock!!

Hmmm... bit of a minefield that one! Many couriers offer "insurance" and are happy to take payment for it - but when you read the small print it usually doesn't cover musical instruments! That said, I've shipped dozens of amps, cabs and basses over the years and never (yet) had an issue (touch wood!!). If you have something to ship it in, I might well be interested (and so, I suspect, would many others!)

Ooooh! That's lovely.... would shipping be impossible? It's a long drive from Newcastle

Lovely basses these. Some of the best that Fender ever made IMHO. Sadly I'm short of cash myself....

Not sure how much of it is pure nostalgia, but I really miss my old TE gear. I had the Mk IV version of this and it was immense (in tone as well as mass!). This is a huge amount of rig for a silly low price

Crikey - that was quick!
