Hey all, I've got a Fender Jazz fretless bass that I bought a while ago that isn't being used so I'm offering it for sale on here. It has a Fender MIJ Geddy Lee body, All Parts rosewood blocked and bound neck (originally fretted), Omega (Bad Ass II copy) bridge, Kluson style reverse tuners, brass nut and flat topped chrome control knobs with CTS pots. The neck already had a DIY de-fret when I bought it and I couldn't get the action low enough due to the uneven fingerboard, so I took it to Jon Shuker who levelled and coated it (in a matt finish). He also put on some D'addario chromes (some spare that he had that had only 30 mins use, so pretty much as new) so the finish wouldn't be damaged. He did use a small shim to get the action nice and low during the setup he carried out. There are a few extra holes from thumb rests that previous owners have used, the body has a few marks on it here and there and the neck has a few small dings, but nothing that can be felt when playing. The bass also comes with a couple of thumbrests and a mirror scratchplate should you want to use them. I'm now asking [s]£295[/s] £250 collected from Halifax, West Yorkshire thanks. Any questions please ask, Peace.

Hey folks, For sale is my Fender MIJ FSR '75 P/J Jazz, made in 2013. This is a rare bass in the UK apparently as not many found their way over to these shores. It's factory standard apart from having some Dunlop Dual Strap pins added, I only have some black strap parts as none came with it. It's pretty much as it left the factory apart from a small headstock mark pictured. The bridge does also have some marks from the saddle screws, however the shop said that was normal from the factory! I'm selling as even though I keep coming back to Fender jazzes, I need the brass and I'm more into Warwick basses really. So considering that a trade might be an option at a push. I'd only go for a German Warwick of some kind (fretted, fretless, 4 or 5 string and more likely a Streamer of some sort tbh). For the right bass I could put a very limited amount of cash towards it your way. It comes with a hard case that I got in another deal, so I'd consider posting, but you'd need to arrange the courier etc. If a trade was happening it'd need to be a face to face deal in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire please. I'm after £650 with the hard case included or £625 collected with no hard case thanks. Any questions just ask please. Peace.

Love my Warwicks but not a fan of their 'stable' necks lol, out of all the many many basses I've had over the years the most neck problems have all been with the Wicks I've had ha ha!

... mine had 4 strings, it's the best 5 because it had 4 strings so was less confusing for me to play . Seriously I've had lots of 5ers over the last 10 years or so and the best open rounded tone and playability is the current Warwick Steamer Stage 1 5. Apart from that the nicest signature tone was my NT Thumb 5, really thick and had something about it. I also once had an old reworked Overwater 5 that was really really nicely put together with a very neat electronics install (why aren't all bases like that??). But I'm probably going to go back to 4s for a while as I seem to know what I'm doing more on them for some reason

.... just happened to me, bummer

Be careful about the ergonomics with the NT versions (I've had a NT4 and NT5). The first position is a few frets further away. The BO versions are a bit closer, but still take a while to get used to when swapping from say, a streamer. However that being said the tone is the best I've heard with everything set flat, really thick and organic!

early 70's fender opinion. A good deal or been done?
jimbobothy replied to JimboJim's topic in Bass Guitars
I'd send it back and buy a better example off here tbh. If it's not as described, and by what you've said it sounds like not being so, I'd send it back without hesitation. Always open up a dispute with eBay, or if you paid by Pay Pal via them. -
The brass inserts make so much sense, does he also have an option for using them on the body/neck union?

Snapped Trussrod - Spector NS2B - Through neck!!!
jimbobothy replied to grunge666's topic in Repairs and Technical
... the earlier Warwicks without a neck Volute have replaceable truss rods that can slide out. Later ones with the Volute need the finger board taking off if owt goes wrong. Glad it's an easy fix. -
[quote name='Jonesthebass' timestamp='1467707995' post='3085454'] My understanding is we are getting a different set each night... I saw them at Bristol on the tues and the bouncer was saying the set was changed from mon. We didnt get Norwegian wood. The Monday crew saw Jackson 5 covers.... [/quote] Guess it keeps it a bit more interesting for them then, Earth Wind and Fire were also a feature at some point during the evening in Leeds.

... saw them in Leeds last night. Liked the bass playing by both Vic and Andy, the chordal guitar stuff by Reggie but the drummer probably made the gig for me lol!
