[font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Evening all, [/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]I'm selling one of my two beautiful basses![/font]





[b][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]****** Fender Custom Shop 60's Jazz Bass 1989 ******[/font][/b]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]An early example of the fine craftsmanship at the Fender Custom Shop USA in mint condition. [/font]

The n[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]eck is stamped 6/22/89 with S. Buehl; and body is 6/29/89 with Steve Olson.[/font]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]It has Lake Placid Blue finish with matching headstock, all parts are original.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]There's a small ding near bottom strap button but barely noticeable, overall I can say it's in near perfect condition with minimal fret wear.[/font]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]It has a new set of DR Marcus Miller Strings (45-105) on.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]The neck was warped slightly when I first got it, I took it to Manson’s Exeter and Hugh had the guys doing a heat treatment to correct the warp. It is now perfectly straight and is great to play. Hugh himself quoted that he has done jobs on much more severely warped necks before and none reoccurred after his treatment. Both John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) and Matt Bellamy use Manson's instrument exclusively.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]The action is very low now with a great balance between body and neck. I don't have a scale to weigh it at the moment but I can say it's about or slightly lighter than an average Jazz. It feels great and sounds even better, that CLASSIC tone![/font]

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Looking for [size=5][s]£1800[/s][/size] [b][size=5]£1400[/size][/b] shipped in UK[/font]

[b][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]****** Warwick Streamer Stage I 4 string ******[/font][/b][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif] [/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]The second bass is a Warwick SS1 made in 2001, I have owned it for around 4 years and has always been my go to bass. you can see it's been well used but not abused [/font]

The stock Just A Nut II has been upgraded with a synthetic JANIII. The bass was once dropped in a thin-ish gig-bag (due to my clumsiness), and the bottom strap button broke, it has then been professionally refitted at Manson’s Exeter, but the knock-off paint are still visible from the back (second pic)

It has the stock MEC Pick-Ups and an 18V active/passive circuit electronics

T.M. Stevens once used it during a bass clinic last year, (his signature model is merely a paintwork away) and commented, 'this s**t plays like butter, man!'

Is that really possible
Bump

[fred8816]

Thanks for all the PMs, the basses are still around. I dropped the price again for the Jazz, now £1400 posted; Warwick is £850.

[karlfer]

I hope this stunning jazz goes BEFORE my Alembic or I know I won't be able to resist

[auvergne81]

your jazz bass is amazing, never saw old custom shop before your bass.

[fred8816]

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm moving to another country around the end of the month and have too much to take with me on a plane... and that's the sole reason I'm selling them, if I could source a bag that takes them both, the sale will be withdrawn!

Anyone with [size=5]Mono Dual Bass[/size] bag at a reasonable price please get in touch!!

Cheers

[fred8816]

Now I no longer need to sell them. Will withdraw them in two days. Thanks

[4000]

That's probably a good thing. I was wobbling a bit re that Streamer, dings and all.
