SOLD Up for grabs is my lovely 1978 Twin Reverb with the original Fender speakers (not changed for Jensons) and the original footswitch for the spring reverb and vibrato.

A couple of the pots on the bright channel have been changed due to corrosion of the pots and the power amp tubes have been changed to Mesa 6L6 valves (by the previous owner)!

Pictures up soon as my tech has it at the moment servicing it and PAT testing it.

It's a lovely example of an original 70's twin with tons of character and loud as hell!

Collection only due to size and weight I'm afraid.

Would consider a trade

Big Jim

The JB5 is more than just another take on a classic design; it's the best jazz bass we've ever made. It offers superior balance, excellent tone, and playability that can't be beat. Features such as Carvin's locking bass bridge, smooth contoured neck heel with 5-bolt neck plate, 22-fret neck with dual carbon-fiber reinforcement rods and new JVA single-coil jazz pickups make the JB5 a true player's instrument, regardless of your playing style or genre.[/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/size][/left]

Where are you based?

Awesome! What's the scale length?

I just missed this on ebay!!!

WOW!

That is one of the most stunning basses I've seen... but I'm trying to thin the herd as opposed to get more... interested in trades?

Mine was a '76 but identical!!!!

Glad they did, that fan on it was insane!"

I think this was mine at some point!?

Are you sure no trades?

Tor is a friend of mine and I can vouch for him! And his taste in basses, not cars ;-)

What colour is the original pickguard and why the change?

String spacing and weight?

I'm visiting his family today and will show these. Any stories etc for the scrap book guys would be amazing.

I'm also going to see his personal bass he had commissioned for his 30th which arrived just before his passing and will ask to take pictures but can't promise anything.

Vic is also responsible for my set up and I never let him live it down! I met him the first time both of us went into BG in 2011 and i knew from then that he was an amazing spirit.

Thanks for putting this up Big Apple.

I got the call at midday today saying that he had passed away half an hour beforehand.

If people could please share their experiences with Vic and any funny stories/pictures etc, I'm going to put them all in a book for his family!

I just missed this when Luc sold it... And I have only trades now!!!! Interested in any trades?
