Ray Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) I bought this beauty from JD1 last year and it's sat in the case for most of that time. It's strung with D'Addario halfrounds and plays beautifully. It's a shame to part with it but I just don't play it enough to justify owning it (plus I need the cash for another GK NEO112). Click [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4498&hl=fretless+jazz"]here[/url] for JD1's original post to see pictures. As he says, it's in immaculate condition except for a small ding on the lower horn and a few light scratches where a plectrum was slid under the scratchplate. Both are hardly noticable. The bass comes with a moulded Fender hard case (different from the one in the pictures). The case is not in great condition (thanks to Italian baggage handlers!) but does the job. EDIT>> Buyer can choose between the case described above or the rectangular case as shown in the pictures. I bought it for £475 and would like to sell it for the same.

I mean it's one more owner, one worse case and maybe a little worse condition than when you bought it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotmaka Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 £475 for a USA jazz with a case is a fantastic deal. end of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 IMO there's loads of people on this forum buying basses on Ebay and selling them at inflated prices on here yet you pull this guy up due to a different case! Seems harsh. Nice bass, good price, BUMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nimrod Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 It just seems cruel to show it in such a [b][i]cool[/i][/b] case, then say it's coming in a tatty one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is interested in buying and would prefer the heavier, bigger, unbalanced rectangular case they can have it. FYI, the moulded case that I'm including is the same design that came with the bass when new. JD1 kept the original case and gave me the rectangular one (that came with his Marcus Miller Jazz) instead because the moulded case is lighter. The bass is in exactly the same condition as when I bought it. The ding and scratches were there when I bought it. £475 is a very reasonable price for this bass, don't you think?

bassbloke Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Guidelines for the Marketplace - Guidelines for buyers, section 4 [i]. If you have a problem with the price of an item on the forum, stating it in an aggressive way on the thread undermines the sellers listing. Often however feedback on fair pricing is useful and constructive. Bear this in mind and be considerate and vigilant. If anyone is seen being aggressive or SERIOUSLY overpricing an item them you are best off sending a PM to the member and to a moderator. The best policy is that if you do not like the price, move on. The seller won’t sell and you avoid any arguments. [/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nimrod Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I've got the moulded case for my USA Jazz deluxe, I'm no fan of them... It's a battle to get it shut, the rectangular cases are way better IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevbass Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) I think 475 quid is an excellent price even if the bass came in a pillow case, good luck with the sale someone will surely buy it at this price, and by the way, only let someone who is actually interested in buying the bass influence you in which case you should sell it with, other than that its nobody elses business.
