There's been quite a bit of interest so far but no takers yet...

If you're interested you're welcome to pop round for a cuppa and have a 'no obligation' tryout. I think you'll love the tone!

Lovely! A Marcus Miller sig bass, but US made and without the stupid ugly scratchplate It's a winner!

Indeed! You can definitely get the Marcus tone. The East preamp gives it that fat bottom end and sweet top end!

Here's the conclusion from an Ed Friedland (Bass Whisperer) review:

[color=#7F7F7F][font=Quattrocento, Georgia,]BOTTOM LINE[/font][/color]
[color=#7F7F7F][font=Quattrocento, Georgia,]The Fender American Vintage ’75 Reissue Jazz Bass is a wonderful example of a legendary species. The overall construction, tone and vibe are right on the money. If you want true ’70s Jazz Bass tone, look no further. If you’re looking to create your own Marcus “monster bass”, the ’75 RI is the perfect platform—you’re only a Badass II bridge and onboard pre-amp away from having a classic mid-’70s funk machine.[/font][/color]
