[email protected] Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi all,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Here is my 2008-2008 Mexican 70s Jazz Bass. It's served me well for 6 months or so but has been pushed back in the pecking order since I realised that I'm really just P-bass guy at heart. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm selling for no other reason than that.[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]If I do say so myself, it makes a lovely sound and this is one of the better quality mexican basses that I've played. I've made it even better (ascetically) with the addition of a tortoiseshell pick guard, if you'd like the original too, I've still got that hanging around. Other than that it's all original stuff.[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For more pictures than I've uploaded here, have a look here:[/font][/color] [url="http://flic.kr/s/aHsjzHLVHV"]http://flic.kr/s/aHsjzHLVHV[/url] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm sure most of you know a bit about this bass, but if not have a look here for some blurb:[/font][/color] [b][url="http://tinyurl.com/6vhlsvw"]http://tinyurl.com/6vhlsvw[/url][/b] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]here for the specs:[/font][/color][list] [*][i]Model Name: ‘70s Jazz Bass[/i] [*][i]Model Number: 013-2000-(Colour#) [/i] [*][i]Series: Classic Series [/i] [*][i]Colours: (300) 3-Colour Sunburst, (306) Black, (Polyurethane Finish) [/i] [*][i]Body: Alder [/i] [*][i]Neck: Maple, ‘70s “C” Shape, (Gloss Polyurethane Finish) [/i] [*][i]Fingerboard: Rosewood, 7.25” Radius (184mm) [/i] [*][i]No. of Frets: 20 Vintage Style Frets [/i] [*][i]Pickups: 2 Vintage Style Jazz Bass Single-Coil Pickups with AlNiCo Magnets [/i] [*][i]Controls: Volume 1.
