[quote name='Sambrook' post='1192302' date='Apr 7 2011, 09:37 PM']Hi there, if the bass is still for sale, I would be very interested. I can't come and see it, but everybody's comments back up what I know about these basses. Could you PM me for talking turkey about price? Thanks, Sean[/quote] PM replied to. Only realistic offers considered.

Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass for sale. Natural Finish. You should all know what these are. Very well made, great bass for the money. Looks great, sounds great. This model is a very good example. Very well bookmatched. I originally purchased this from a shop by mail. When it turned up, I was very disappointed, as the body was 3 different shades and very badly bookmatched. I got back onto the shop, who didn't have any more in stock at the time, but said they would exchange it when new stock arrived. In the meantime, I went and bought a Fender '75 reissue instead. When the shop had some more stock in, they looked at the basses, and sent me the best example they had. I agree, and maybe if they sent this one in the first place, I wouldn't have bought the Fender. This one is a 2 piece body, which is quite rare at this price bracket, with a join straight down the middle. Please see highlighted picture for close up of the join line. Anyway, so now this bass is surplus to requirements, but I need to get my money back, as I have spent more than I wanted to on the Fender. I am asking £230 for this, which is cheaper than any shop, and you have the knowledge that you have a great looking example. The bass has not been played at all, only taken out of the box to check that it was a good one and for a photo. As this bass is still in the box, I will courier it if needed at buyers expense, although I would prefer collection in person, as I would like to know that the bass is in the buyers hands in the same condition it was when it left me. Thanks for looking. [attachment=76578:IMG_0206.JPG] [attachment=76579:IMG_0207.JPG] [attachment=76580:IMG_0208.JPG] [attachment=76581:IMG_0209.JPG] [attachment=76582:IMG_0210.JPG]

Okay, I certainly don't think this is overpriced, especially after asking advice on it and it's condition. This is a lovely bass (check out some of the comments above), but I need to recover some finances. I am willing to drop a little on the price. Make me a (serious) offer.

Bump.

I have some mirrored scratchplates for sale that will fit this bass. I have one on my own Natural Stingray. Please look for Musicman Stingray Scratchplate on ebay. My username is Funky Monkey. They look great on these basses. Other colours available, and also for other basses. Cheers.

Weekend bump. Come on folks, nobody want to try something a bit different?

Weekend bump. Surely someone must want one of these? Very useful gadget. If you haven't tried one, I recommend it.

Weekend bump. Anybody want to try some special strings at a discount price?

[quote name='tom1946' post='1155516' date='Mar 9 2011, 04:12 PM']Pm'd [/quote] And replied. The 4 string set have now gone (RS 55LD) The other set are still available.

I had for sale two sets of Rotosound strings. Pressure wound strings now gone - Piano design still for sale. These are not the regular roundwound strings (66's), and are more expensive than normal. If you are looking to try something slightly different, then give these a go. One set of Piano design for a 5 string RS 99LDG. These are roundwound strings with an exposed core as the string passes aver the bridge. Gauges are; 45, 65, 85, 105 & 130. With these strings, you make the ball end section yourself! The ball ends are provided and instructions on how to do this. This is because different basses have a different length from end of string (where ball end is) to the bridge. You measure your own length and make them up accordingly. (You may need to adjust your action afterwards, as the strings will sit lower over the bridge) These normally retail at £32.95 (see stringdirect.com) Looking for £20, inc. postage. One set of Pressure wound strings RS 55LD for a 4 string bass Gauges are: 45, 65, 85 & 105. These are roundwound strings that have then been pressure wound to make them a little smother to the touch than normal roundwound. Think part way between round and flat wound. I used to remember strings in the 80's being 'ground wound' meaning that the string was ground on it's surface to produce a flatter playing surface. These have been pressured to make then smoother. These normally retail at £25.95 (see stringsdirect.com) Looking for £15 plus postage. *NOW SOLD* Thanks for looking.

[quote name='timo' post='1154902' date='Mar 9 2011, 08:29 AM']Does your new Jazz take a BT8? I've got one of those for sale on here...[/quote] No, definitely the BT2.

Hipshot BT1 Brand new in chrome. Bought in error, needed a BT2 (got one on order now). This is to fit a Musicman, G&L and some Fenders. Not exactly sure which Fenders, but some info is available from here; [url="http://www.basscentre.com/hipshot-d-tuners/hipshot-bt1.html"]http://www.basscentre.com/hipshot-d-tuners/hipshot-bt1.html[/url] Looking for £45 including postage. You should all know what these are and what they do. I've used one for years on a Stingray, so easy to use. Wouldn't be without one! Now need one for my new Jazz bass.

[quote name='sprocketflup' post='1150700' date='Mar 5 2011, 04:41 PM']Whilst completly avoiding the 'Rabbit' issue :b[/quote] Ahh, the rabbit issue. Finally it all comes to light (excuse the pun). A private joke from a long lost friend. Definitely no rabbits involved with this bass. No rabbit poo or any other poo involved. I'll give this bass a little while longer, then it might have to go on the 'bay. If you want something a bit high tech and unique, give this bass a go.

Cheers. Thanks for coming and having a look at it. Appreciate the comments. [quote name='amenra' post='1148123' date='Mar 3 2011, 10:37 AM']I have been to look at this beauty and it's like new If i was a more skilled fretless bass player this would of been in my collection.Who ever gets this as to play or keep as a investment will get a bargin all the best on your sale and thanks for letting me play this.[/quote]

Also forgot to mention. This bass comes with it's own 'branded' gig bag. The bag is very well made, and although not fully 'soft' padded, it is quite protective. I think neoprene is used in it's construction. There are a couple of front pockets on it and a leather handle. I haven't used the bass very much, but I use the gig bag almost on a daily basis for my other basses, and it has stood up very well to regular use. There are some wear marks on the bottom and some slight marks on it, but still a very good bag that I could probably continue to use for another 10 years. Thanks for looking.
