Hello all,

I've decided to put this up for sale as I simply don't need or use a 5 string anymore and to be honest I could do with the cash to make important and much needed additions to my rig!

I've had this since November 2010 when I got it off Binky_Bass in a trade. Since then it's had fairly heavy bedroom and rehearsal use, but no live use. It was originally Olympic White but it's since been refinished in Vintage White by Rich Lewis of Osprey Guitars (Ou7shined). There's a thread I started detailing the whole process here:

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/163906-ou7shined-does-it-again-diary-of-a-respray-job-on-a-completely-sodded-fender-jazz-5/page__p__1489095__hl__ou7shined%20does%20it%20again__fromsearch__1#entry1489095"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1489095[/url]

Soundwise, it's typical of Fender Jazz bass. Lovely growly goodness from the bridge pickup and lovely chocolatey deepness from the neck pickup. It has the usual VVT control plate layout (speaking of which I changed the knobs from black to chrome to match the bridge and strings and tuners) which has never gone wrong since I've had it and it's all in perfect working order.

The only things I can see that are wrong with it are that there's a screw missing from the neck pickup and there's a couple of knocks in the headstock. That's it! It is literally as new!

I would like the bass to be picked up by it's new owner from St. Albans (where I live). Alternatively, I'm happy to drive up to 250 miles away for a bit of petrol money and a cup of tea. I dont have anything to pack it in and I dont like waiting around for couriers and neither do you, I bet!

Tradewise, there's a few things I'm interested in. I really want another Ibanez Blazer in working condition or any sort of vintage Yamaha or Ibanez basses will be seriously considered. Again, dont really care what sort of condition it's in as long as I can play it!
Im also after a 2x12 or a 2x15 cabinet. If the Spector I also have up for sale sells, then I'll have some money to add on to the deal if the value of the cab is more than the value of the Jazz. I'm pretty open to all makes and ohmages here, just try me!
Also, stuff like EBS Microbass II, Sansamp BDI etc etc also appeals to me quite a lot as do outboard preamps (Sadowsky, Fodera etc).
Top quality accessories like iGig bags or Hiscox cases can also be used as makeweights. Again, try me!

Here's some photos via photobucket (almost forgot!). If you want any particular angles or anything, PM me with your email address and I'll send you pictures of whatever it is you want pictures of.
Just noticed that my iPhone makes the bass look more yellow than it actually is. It's actually a much more creamy sort of colour!:

Anyway, thanks for reading all my rubbish and I look forward to your questions and/or offers!

Alex

Replied to loads of PM's with some great trade deals on the table today. It's been a real struggle to turn them down, but I need to stay strong and hold out for stuff that will be of greater value to me with regards to my gigging rig!

Still up for grabs people!

It's on Ebay with 2 and a half days left to go and it's only at £155! If you were interested in this initially, you may well end up with a ridiculous bargain!
