    I've had a Squier VMJ fretless, liked it but sold it to raise some funds, I notice that most people selling Squiers or Vintage Icon's say they like fretless so much they fancy something a bit better. So my question is this, what is better? say up to max £500. I don't want more than four strings, Ibanez only do a five string to my knowledge, I can't find much else except Mexican Fender jazzes but are they any better and worth the price jump than the VMJ I had? By the way regarding the VMJ & Icon's, i'm not overly keen on sunburst. Confussed, yes. Any advice apreciated. Nick. (p.s. perhaps a white CV jazz wth a fretless neck would do me, hint, hint Squier?)

    Squier Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz Bass for sale. The bass is original apart from the addition of a Torty scratch plate and old type Fender plastic control knobs. These basses speak for themselves as far as value for money goes, you really can’t buy better without spending (lots) more money. Condition wise, the bass has been played with roundwounds on, so there is some unavoidable slight marking to the Ebanol fretboard but nothing that affects the bass and can't be seen from more than 12 inches away. There are no dings or scratches anywhere on the bass. The fitting of the scratch plate (not by me) is a neat professional job, improves the look IHMO and makes it look like a vintage Fender rather than a 'Jaco' clone. Comes with a nearly new padded gig bag. The strings have seen better days and could do with setting up with a new set of the buyers prefered brand of strings. (will throw a new set of roundwounds in) Bass will be well packed for posting in the gig bag, bubble wrap and a sturdy cardboard box. Price £170 Inc insured postage.

    sold.

    Cygnus x-1 replied to tom1946's topic in Basses For Sale

    I owned one of these, real quality, absolute superb bass for the money, loved it, only sold it as it was very similar sounding to another bass I have. I sold it to Musicman69 (see post above) and he is obviously very happy with it. This example Tom is selling looks mint and is a good price, any negative comments are unjust and not helpfull to Tom's advert.

    hi and welcome, I don't have experience of all on your list but the Ibanez sr300 is a brilliant bass for the money, also Squier jazz's are excellent too, but you need with Squier to get the highest spec bass you can afford e.g. Classic Vibe jazz or Vintage Modified jazz even if you have to buy second hand. Also a cracking bass for the money is the Yamaha BB414, i've recently seen mint second hand VM jazz and a BB414 for under £200. But the best advice any bassist will give you is try as many as you can. cheers...Nick

    A friend of mine has a two or three year old Japanese Tokai Hard Puncher. Very nice it is too. The scratchplate on it is a sort of anodised metal look one, he fancies changing it to a 3 ply black one for a change, so, will he have to get a Tokai brand scratchplate, if so where from, or will another brand make plate (fender off eBay etc.) fit staight on? He doesn't really want to drill new screw holes so he has the option of making it back original again should he wish. Thought somebody on here just might know, save him a lot of hassle. cheer's Nick.

    Apart from active electronics and 120 quid or so, what are the differences between a BB614 and a BB414? Because if it's just active difference, is the price premium worth it? Also is the pickguard the only difference between the old 414 and the new 414x? Quite fancy a Yammy for a vintage 'thud, thud' tone to compliment my more 'hi-fi' sounding Ibanez sr500. I know the BB Yam's are well respected on here, any thoughts? Nick.
