SOLD, please lock post thanks.

Hi folks,

For sale is my bitsa Fender Jazz, it plays nicely and has a genuine roadworn feel about it!

The body is a 2 piece ALL PARTS jazz body in full 3 tone sunburst ([url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/bodies-necks/bodies/bass-bodies/replacement-body-for-j-bass-finished-p-1949.html"]http://www.allparts....hed-p-1949.html[/url]), the neck is off an early Marcus Miller (drilled for a 4 bolt neck plate also with a period Fender decal). The pickups are off a CIJ '62 RI fretless jazz I also have for sale. The bridge is a factory filed Badass II. The tuners are very nice Gotoh vintage style ones. The pickguard is off a genuine 1977 Fender Jazz bass . The pots are all CTS with solid shafts and also comes with Schaller straplocks.

It sounds very nice (genuinely have a lot of compliments about the sound)

However it has been around the block so to speak, a few holes have bits of matchstick etc in them to hold and unfortunately whilst putting on the Badass II, two of the original screws broke in the body. After unsuccessfully trying to drill them out I used another set of bridge holes that were already there (1/2" closer to the neck). The intonation is still fine due to the amount of adjustment on the Badass bridge, however if you wanted to use a bridge with a smaller footprint you'd most likely see the remnants of the broken screws etc so not really an option.

The neck is shimmed to get the action down fairly low, I've only recently done this however and it does play with a medium action if you have a shim phobia

I'd like £275 firm collected from Huddersfield for this please, I'm not offering postage as I'd want any BCer to play it and be happy!

Please see the pictures below and any question please ask.
