Some of you know more than me lads and I've been at it 50 years.

No, the neck plate hasn't been changed as far as I'm concerned. Totally original. That's a fantastic bit of detection work. Why should the decal be correct and where did you get this info from? Always understood the JVs were between 82 & 84.

I think it was heat treatment. I don't know physically it's done. The truss rod has not been replaced or anything like that. Mike told me at JD you can tension it slightly convex now ( the other way) so it's fully adjusting again.

Truss rod now corrected by JD B'ham. I'm now putting the bass and case for sale at £575. It's still far below what other people ask for these superb replicas. I'm passing this recent cost on to the potential buyer.

Blxxdy hell! That was mine. Wished I'd been browsing at the time the ad went in. Would love to have bought it back, especially with the sexy lady scratchplate that cost a bomb from USA

Nice. From the man with three ears. One right ear, one left ear and one final frontier.

Thanks for your suggestion Wal, Before I started playing bass about 20 years ago, I played lead for about 30 years (pre CBS Strats and all that). In those days we'd use a piece of Woodbine packet for the shimmy. No, I don't think it's enough in this case that's why I've taken it to the experts in Brum - and I'm assured it's gonna be fine!

You're right about the unusual pencilled date. I've had and enjoyed many JV's. You'll probably go back and find a couple on the site. Never seen a date like this. Love to hear from someone who's got dating similar. Attached was my once upon a time small collection. I keep going round and round with basses, I'm nuts.

The sale of the bass is on hold at the moment. I'm having the truss rod adjustment checked out professionally.

[color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3]Quiet, fully working with the exception of the Graphic and Cut switches. These still operate but not manually, so a home made switch is included for the purpose of switching - I've always left it in Graphic mode anyway so no jack would be necessary.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3]Heavy, but worth it![/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3][/size][/font][/color]

Ok Mike, I'm still here. If you tried it you'd love it. Geoff

History of Fender JV (Japanese Vintage) and these pictures tell the story. While exposing the controls for pictures, I decided to put some tin foil on the plate - totally unnecessary. Personally I would have liked the action set a bit lower. I tried screwing the truss rod for more opposing tension but I couldn’t turn anymore, I didn’t want to break the screwdriver! So, I am selling the bass quite a lot under value in respect of the action height. Nice weight, fractionally over 4kg. Hard case included [/indent]
