leroybasslines Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) [b]This bass is now sold! [/b] Hello again! In for a penny, in for a pound! This is my Fender Jazz Standard 5 string (made in Mexico...arriba!). As with my Music Man sale (it's in this forum somewhere), I am selling because I am downsizing and making space for kids by buying a Lakland 5 string. I bought this bass brand new in 2001 from the Bass Cellar on Denmark St in London and have been her only ever owner! I've used it extensively for gigging and recording but looked after it. It has one chip in the paint work below the jack socket, but otherwise is in perfect condition. Previously I have used an East J-Retro 01 in this bass (see my avatar pic) but I've restored the original passive circuitry for this sale (the East is staying with me!). Some pics: [attachment=69785:photo1.JPG][attachment=69786:photo2.JPG] [attachment=69787:photo3.JPG][attachment=69788:photo4.JPG] More pics here: [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40365041@N05/sets/72157625762631095/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/40365041@N05/...57625762631095/[/url] I've done a bit of recording with her too. PM if you want to hear some examples of the bass in action (I don't have ownership of the music so I can't put tracks on line - merely a hired gun!) Again, I'm no valuing expert and operating on a suck it and see pricing policy! £300 is what I've got in my head, but feel free to make an offer. Just so you know, the bass is also on sale via eBay with a very optimistic Buy It Now price to compensate for fees and general ball-ache. I'd rather a buyer picks up in person, but will ship if necessary. Selling this bass really does make a knot in my stomach...I've played her for a decade now and feel like we've grown together. But...onwards and upwards...sniff... Edited February 2, 2011 by leroybasslines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markff Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Alright dude, lovely bass, got real GAS for another Jazz. If I shift my ltd I'll be in touch for sure. Unless you'd be up for a swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroybasslines Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hmmmm...I'm trying to tone down the collection, but I'm always interested in potential GAS medicinal swaps. What do you have in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroybasslines Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 BTW, I'd [i]seriously[/i] consider a swap with this bass for a Phil Jones 4B or 6 or 8 or lots of Bs cab to run off my Suitcase. Spread the word... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markff Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 It's an LTD B155-DX. But of an unusual one for me, but definitely a nice surprise. I've owned Warwick and musicman in the past, and still have a spector now, but the LTD really holds it's own. Great neck and great tones. It's a proper head turner too, get plenty of comments about it. Only been gigged 3 times so it's in great shape, couple of dings on it, but you have to look for them. I can take some photos in a bit, but it's the blue one on this page from the ESP [url="http://espguitars.com/basses_b.html"]http://espguitars.com/basses_b.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leroybasslines Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) [b]BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP![/b] Come on people! I'm starting to have second thoughts about selling it, but really I ought to. So my wife tells me. It's on eBay, but I'd rather a proper person bought it (that's you). There many watchers on SleazeBay, but they're probably all spotty teenagers with hoodies or something. Unless you are one of the watchers, in which case that was a joke. Oh yes, and I've mentioned elsewhere on Basschat that I might be up for trading for a PJB extension cabinet for my suitcase. You never know...
