LukeFRC Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Hello SOLD SOLD SOLD Up for sale if anyone wants it is the Jazz bass I bought of andy travis a month or two ago. An amazing bass, but I'm coming up to a hard time where moving twice and staying round a friends for a bit into a room in the flat is should be moving into becomes free. So half my stuff needs to be stashed somewhere in the meantime. I was just looking at my room and the 3 basses I have. They are all great but with the rubbishness of my work and shift patterns I don't think I will be playing much soon. So if I can sell one then that one less thing to move. Also my new cab loves my warwick in a way my old one didn't. I kinda bought the jazz as I wasn't happy with the warwick's tone. As it is the jazz sounds better to my ears but the warwick feels more like my bass. I paid andy £950 and that amount gets it off my hands in the gigbag he sent it in. Postage extra. So what is it? Well it's a Factory Special Run jazz bass, imagine the '75 in Lake Placid blue, painted headstock, rosewood fretboard. possibly one of 200 in this colour, serial number 790 of the series But a deeper tone to the thinner sounding current USA '75ri, Possibly as the body is alder. Original bridge needs a new long screw but it has a badass fitted, you get the original bridge too. dunlop straplocks and bits are included. pickup cover for the neck pup. Made 2001/2002 oh original looking headstock too. sounds amazing- i don't mind keeping it if no one wants it! Pictures tomorrow when the sun is up. In the mean time here is the original thread where Andy bought it from, now with a badass II and no thumb rest. some talkbass chat about these basses and photos. search FSR and you'll get more info. there is a later mexican FSR, this is the earlier USA made ones [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=60200"]http://basschat.co.u...showtopic=60200[/url] [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=618905"]http://www.talkbass....ad.php?t=618905[/url] [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=704069"]http://www.talkbass....ad.php?t=704069[/url] Edited December 27, 2011 by LukeFRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fagen Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi LukeFRC, I'm very, very interested in this Lake Placid blue bass - could you send me a PM so we can talk? I'm in Barcelona, but would fly to Glasgow to pick it up. It`s exactly the bass I`ve been looking for! Cheers, Fagen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fagen Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I know it's a bit strange to post a comment here almost a year after the event, but I just wanted to say that I bought this magnificent American Jazz Bass 1975 Reissue in Lake Placid Blue from Luke and I am thrilled with the purchase. It's not only beautiful but it has exactly the sound that I was looking for. It's definitely the bass for me! Thank you Luke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like I can connect the two of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martthebass Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I've had my FSR 75RI for a few weeks now, doesn't sound like any Jazz I've owned before....very honky and powerful. Not LPB in this case but Candy Apple Red, very thin coat. Hope you find one, they are kinda special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the same one, the seller goes by the nick Night Prowler and is a long time member of PrataBas. He hasn't read my PM yet, will let you know what he says.
