lemmywinks Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) Squier Standard Jazz in Walnut satin Nearly new condition, no real marks or scuffs. Has had bartolinis in but putting original pickups back. Pickup hole has been slightly widened on scratchplate, not noticeable. Hard to find in this finish, looks great SOLD Blackpool Has a Gator style hard case (damaged but still functional). Some better pics than the last one, as you can see it's also for sale in my local guitar shop along with some of my other stuff. A lovely bass that i just don't need anymore, GASsed about it for ages then bought something else so it has to go. Never seen anyone else with one either, all it needs is a fender logo! (something i was going to do, ended up puting it on my fender copy). Can send sound clips via email if you fancy, got some rough recordings via windows sound recorder but they give you the idea Ta Steve Edited May 2, 2009 by lemmywinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Ok i'll try get some on as soon as! We've had our practice room broken into so all our gear is at our singers house and some of mine is on sale at a guitar shop, should be able to get pics up by weekend. The OLP is black with matching headstock, black and grey tortie pickguard and maple fingerboard. The squier is exactly like the one here: [url="http://www.rockingrooster.co.uk/product_info.php?PID=359"]http://www.rockingrooster.co.uk/product_info.php?PID=359[/url] The OLP is used and the bridge has been replaced. For some reason there are only 2 screws holding the bridge down but it seems stable and would be easy to put another 2 in there. Think someone on here is selling a 5 string bartolini MM on the cheap so this is an ideal candidate for a pickup upgrade! At the moment you have to use the volumes to switch between humbucking and singlecoil modes but i was going to put a switch in it: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3413"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3413[/url] The squier is basically new, i bought it as a back up cos my warwick kept cutting out, then saw a warmoth jazz on ebay for £335 so the squier was redundant before it was even delivered! Still stuck bartolinis in it (for sale elsewhere on this site) but the stock ceramic magnet pickups were spot on anyways. The pickguard has slightly widened holes where these have been Think postage on both will be about £15 unless you can collect from Blackpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbass Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I played one of those Squier Jazz Basses in Walnut Satin last year, and if the one advertised here is anywhere near as good as the one I played, it's an absolute bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make the MIM fenders feel a bit cheap and lightweight. Sound pretty much the same too, i slightly preferred the sound of the squier over the £400 MIM jazz. I ended up getting this from thomann because hardly any shops in my area could get squier standards in and i couldn't find any in this colour in the country at the time of purchase. The antique burst one is also really nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agroupuk Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hey matey - I am in blackpool and its my birthday on monday.

There is a Nordstrand replacement specifically for the OLP, which is supposed to be an excellent piece of gear. I traded my OLP before I got around to fitting the PU. Looks nice with a maple board . Good luck with the sale, it's an excellent price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pickup has gone now, was just thinking that would be an amazing sounding bass with a tight low B for under £150! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might even include a wood scratchplate in the sale (if it fits....) so shouldn't matter if that's your bag Was thinking of keeping this until i bumped it, if i get more interest i'll liberate it from the guitar shop where it's currently on sale and get some proper pics up. It's a really nice bass, hope it goes to a good home! Off gigging now, will answer any questions tomorrow unless i come in drunk and switch the computer on! (expect spelling mistakes btw).

mike257 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Wish I could buy this mate, that colour looks the business. It's ripe for some modding, that bass, if only I had the readies.

lemmywinks Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 At this rate it'll still be around in the next 25 years, by which time it'll be vintage so i'll up the price to £3,000, if it's on ebay then £8,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
