TommyK Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Hi all. For sale a beautiful USA made 62RI That i picked up a few months ago from Eubassix on here as a trade. I have recently given the bass a set-up and new set of strings. It is a 90's era bass and has some light mojo as seen in the pics but none of it noticable unless at very close range. A great playing bass, fairly light weight, rare colour for a 62RI and a really nice dark rosewood board too. Hardcase included. Reason for sale: I have just ordered a MM classic Sabre and need the funds. Would love to keep it as well but 1 in 1 out rule dictates not. So no trades, thanks. N.B £880 is delivered UK price. £850 picked up. Will ship overseas but will be £850 + shipping & Insurance which you will sort. Thanks. TK Pretty pics below, enjoy : [url="http://s959.photobucket.com/user/vortexholsteins/media/Newbabypics192_zps9f2142a2.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s959.photobucket.com/user/vortexholsteins/media/Newbabypics193_zpsd1e83e89.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s959.photobucket.com/user/vortexholsteins/media/Newbabypics191_zps3210e239.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s959.photobucket.com/user/vortexholsteins/media/Newbabypics194_zpsf91de5ab.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s959.photobucket.com/user/vortexholsteins/media/Newbabypics195_zps104e45dc.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s959.photobucket.com/user/vortexholsteins/media/Newbabypics190_zpsc4f82bd7.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s959.photobucket.com/user/vortexholsteins/media/Newbabypics197_zps5e384e0c.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s959.photobucket.com/user/vortexholsteins/media/Newbabypics198_zps0f468fad.jpg.html"][/url] Edited January 29, 2014 by TommyK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazBeen Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 It is a great bass and I have already been gigging it quite extensively (beginning to show ..), also upgraded the bridge to a Gotoh 201 and stuck in Wizard 64's which make a huge difference, the tone is to die for. I do find myself missing a 5th string at times, so I am not sure how long I will keep on to it. I may look at trading for a 5 string jazz of sorts at some time to match my other JB5. Sabres are top stuff.

AndyTravis Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 eeeh, I'd lusted after this when it was up for sale last, and couldn't get the funds together. And wouldn't you know, I've just scored a Geddy Lee to cure the Jazz GAS. This is gorgeous. But a 3rd new bass in a month isn't an option This is gorgeous though.
