paulflan0151 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hi all, Up for sale is my 76 jazz bass. I bought this from the bass centre in manchester about 6 or 7 years ago now and has been my main bass ever since. It's the amber colour marcus miller style. All the parts are original except for the nut I think, looks new compared to the rest of the bass (I did buy it with the nut like this). The bass has a few dings and worn laquer but is in good condition for its age and has that old, retro, cool look about it (as well as tone) I'm only selling this bass as I am starting my own guitar workshop, making basses and guitars etc so need the money to buy some nice woods and tools. The bass comes with a hiscox case which is great condition except the middle lock doesn't work. I'm in Liverpool and don't mind people coming to have a look. I'd prefare pick-up but will send courier at the buyers cost. I'm looking for 1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulflan0151 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Here are some sound clips of the bass. Now please remember that these where recorded about 6/7 years ago so the playing isn't up to much, but you can get the basic idea of what the bass sounds like. I pluged the bass straight into the outboard sound card, no amp, pre amp etc used. But I did use VST pre's in the mastering process aswell as effects like reverb and compression. I'm gonna try and make some more 'raw' recordings if I can get my hands on some equipment. Hope you enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

et1058 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Indeed! haha that must of been.......2005 or 2006? I havent spoke to him since last year, I will have to get in touch with the man. I will be purchasing a Fender Jazz in the next several weeks, have looked at so many now over the last few months it is impossible to know what I want anymore, go for a vintage or a modern is another factor.

paulflan0151 Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Vintage is better in my opinion, they look far cooler and have better resale value aswell. I'm starting making guitars and basses too, come down my workshop if your looking to buy a bass. I've got a couple of prototypes you can try out. I'll tell michael I was chatin' to you on bass chat.

paulflan0151 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thanks pete, it sure is a great Jazz sound. It's great for funk, slap and I've gigged it many times playing jazz standards so its a versitile beast, looks cool and is in great condition for its age!
