    [quote name='Ou7shined' post='1044840' date='Dec 2 2010, 11:22 AM']It is from the same bit of wood... but not the bit you think. Look for the single dark grain stripe with a broad light stripe either side followed by a group of more densely packed dark bands. [/quote] Fair enough, then how about [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ultra-Rare-SEI-5-String-Super-Jazz-Bass-Flight-Case-/190472552997?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2c590c8225"]THIS ONE[/url]? The grain does appear to match up very nicely. I might be thinking too much into it and the luthiers manage to find a matching piece from another lump of timber but sometimes I think the covers just match too well for that to happen!

    Just been looking at [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/F-Bass-BN5-Natural-5-String-Active-Bass-Guitar-/250656646885?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3a5c4ce6e5"]THIS[/url] bass and was wondering how the routing is done for the control plate cavity. How do they avoid damaging the wood they use for it as it's looks to be from the same bit of wood as the body, impressive lutherie!

    Hi all, Bought this with mind of going back to 4 strings, however I seem to have found myself with a very nice Sandberg JJ5, hence me not needing this device! I would like £27.50 posted or £25 collected for it, it is in virtually brand new condition. Please check that it would fit your fender, it should fit J and P 4 strings from 2008 onwards (click [url="http://store.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=308"]HERE[/url] for more info). Any queries just PM me. Jim. Pics below; [attachment=65453:drop_d_tuner_010.JPG][attachment=65454:drop_d_tuner_011.JPG][attachment=65455:drop _d_tuner_018.JPG]

    Yeah, I agree that it's a more sought after wenge neck. You can tell by the colour of the grain, especially on the back of the headstock. Not sure when Warwick changed to using Ovankol for the neck wood but around '98 or just after. You shouldn't have any balance problems aswell due to that killer top horn!!

    I've just got the bass I was after but I'm still on here looking. Since I joined I've been through at least 8 basses to get to this one, hopefully I'll just get a fretless version (Sandberg JJ5 aged somewhat!) at somepoint to accompany it then stop looking, therefore buying! It's just GAS is so compulsive it's hard to stop!!

    I've bought off Ash before and had no problems at all, nice guy to deal with. I actually bought a black version of this bass and another time a 5 string groove bass! I can vouch for the necks being very nice, I have not so far in my experience played a neck as nice as the flat 'D' profile Status basses. I highly recommend them.

    Just bought a Sandberg JJ5 off Chris, nice chap to deal with. Unfortunatley the logistics of the deal meant it was best if I sorted out a courier rather than collect the bass personally but Chris was very good regarding communication and facilitating the collection for the courier, it was also packaged well so no worries there. The bass was as described and plays very nicely, Ta very much!!

    Just sold my Fender P5 to Gavin, very trusting and trustworthy, great comms and had a nice chat on the old blower aswell, would deal with him again without any worries, recommended basschatter!

    Yup, I can confirm that this bass is very good and easy to play. The build quality is very very good and better than a lot of basses I've owned. Shame I'm going back to 4 strings hey!
  20. jimbobothy
    Very nice, have a bump on me!
  21. jimbobothy
    Bump, it's a nice bass honestly!!
  22. jimbobothy
    Bump to the top for price reduction.
  23. jimbobothy
    I agree, close thread and start afresh. You live and learn! Hope you do sell it thought as on paper it looks good.
  24. jimbobothy
    Still available, bump for new photos.
