Hi, i still need to free up some cash to pay the bills i'd like to check the market to see if there's any intrest in my near mint (1 small blemish on the back of the lower horn, see pictures) Ibanez SR1205 Premium.

[size=5][b]TC Electronic combo is now sold![/b][/size] [size=5][b]Final Pricedrop on the FGN for a quick sale => 815£ shipped to the U.K.! [/b][/size] [b](If this doesn't sell this week i will trade her in this saturday, so this might be your last chance to find a new FGN 70's jazz at this price!)[/b]

Now willing to let this go for 825£ + shipping costs which is over 400£ less than the price new, because i will probably end up living on the street if this doesn't sell this week... Also have a just as new TC Electronic BG250-112 combo for sale which i might ad to the deal for just 205£ more (+ shipping costs of course) [attachment=161662:DSCN0410.JPG]

Nice bass! I've owned some Farida's before and they were definitely bang for the buck, if my 5 string sells i might just snap this up.

Bump! i"m now also considering to sell my TC electronic BG250-112 amp, bought at the same time as the bass, also with full waranty and original packaging as i'm planning to go acoustic for a while untill finances get better. Will only sell the amp if the bass goes as well tho, so prefer to sell them as a set. Amp is also brand new, never left the house as i just moved and am still looking for a new band atm, will sell as a set for 1090£ shipped to U.K. mainland. [attachment=161444:DSCN0410.JPG]

Hi bud, intrested in a trade with this?: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/233910-fsft-brand-new-fgn-fujigen-neo-classic-70s-jazz-bass-now-down-to-875l-incl-shipment-ono/

BUMP! Really need to shift this now as i'm in desperate need for some money to pay the rent, so new pricedrop to 875£ shipped to the U.K.! http://youtu.be/JbZxY0qW87g

If only you still had the Yamaha, we could've worked out some kind of a deal concerning the FGN jazz...

Hi, are you intrested in trades of any kind?

[quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1397477383' post='2424231'] Its not a cheap one its a spector euro 5.still cash to you though [/quote] Thanks bud, but i'm looking for a down-trade that would make me at least 300£ in cash as i'm in desperate need for some money to pay the rent this month.

Hi I've posted this bass here before but had it withdrawn after installing a .130 B string and fell in love with it. Unfortunately a recent job loss and a pile of bills stacking up is forcing me to sell of most of my gear again, so here you have another chance to get a bargain deal on an as new FGN (Fujigen factories own brand) Neo classic Jazz bass. This was bought new just over 6 weeks ago, never left the house and is in immaculate condition. price new: 1430£ [url="http://www.amazon.de/FGN-Classic-Bass-Maple-5-String/dp/B008I004XM"]http://www.amazon.de...g/dp/B008I004XM[/url] asking price was :975£ but due to the financial trouble that i'm in right now i'm[s] [b]now willing to let this go for 950£ incl.

[/b][/color] which is definitely a steal for someone looking for a high end 5 string jazz in mint condition at bargain price. [b]Will also consider a down-trade with a reasonably priced electric or acoustic 4 string + at least 300£ on top so i can pay some bills.[/b] Please don't let the fact that i'm overseas hold you back, if you check my feedback you'll see that i've done a lot of deals here on BC and there never was any problem at all with shipping,delivery or any other part of the process.

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi fellow Basschatters,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've made this mistake before and you would think i would've learned my lesson by now, [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]but no, i did it again... [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I had serious G.A.S. for the 4 string version of this bass for a while now, [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]so as soon as i had the money to pay for it i placed my order for a brand new FGN neo classic 70's JB4,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Unfortunately it turned out the store's site was out of date and none of the EU importers had the 4 string version in stock,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]d[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]isappointed as i was i let myself be convinced by the store to buy the 5 string version instead as this was still available[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]and as you can probably already imagine i love this bass to bits as it has everything that i'd look for in a bass,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]but i'm really struggling to get along with the B-string [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif](and especially the tighter string spacing at the nut is making it hard for me to slap) [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]so now i wish it had only four strings, [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]that's why i'm already considering to trade this for a similar 4 string after only 2 weeks of owning it [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]as i'm afraid i will never completely get used to the string spacing on this 5 string beauty.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I must say that although.i'm having trouble adapting to the string spacing, [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]she's a real lovely player and if i manage to play her right she sounds superb [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]and she puts out a massive amount of low end for a passive jazz bass.[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Everything on this bass looks like it has been put together [/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]with an amazing eye for detail and the quality,[/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]craftsmanship and looks easily surpass any of the Fender jazz's i've ever had the chance to put my hands on.

Sold to Prosebass,thanks Paul!

[quote name='mastrivan' timestamp='1391882154' post='2362305'] Where are you living now? [/quote] Hi, i'm based in Belgium. Shipping to U.K. mainland is included in the price, shipping to Ireland is 20£ extra.

BUMP! Looking to sell this quick now as i have my eye on a nice FGN jazz bass that's for sale in a local store, so i'm hoping this sell this before next wednesday, otherwise i will trade this in at the store when i plan to buy my new bass. Played her again yesterday and the new set-up is superb! Low action,straight neck,superb playability, BIG SOUND! I've played several Warwicks in the past, including 2 doublebucks like this one and all in all the Baphomet sounds the same, but feels more solid and easier to set-up due to the better bridge and tuners and she looks a lot better too... she's definitely a bargain for someone!
