Paul S Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Someone should nab this - these are very nice and this looks like a belter - collection only in Hook, however.

discreet Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 A bargain for sure and probably worth the petrol money from S London. However I'm looking for an excuse not to get it, so I'll say the fretboard is a bit light in colour. Phew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 The necks on these ares quite wide as Jazz basses go at, as I recall, 40mm, so nearly Precision width. And the pickups quite dark and deep... if I weren't in the process of downsizing I would almost certainly be somewhere near Clackett Lane services by now.

Happy Jack Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I'm more interested in that vintage car/truck in the background ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 That does look nice. However, Hook is a very long way around from The Midlands. Surely someone has to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 There are bids on it now, so the BIN has gone - it's at £113. 6 days to go, so... I'm guessing he'll get at least his BIN price for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjones Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I have a Silver Squier Jazz. They are very nice basses. I saw one for sale recently on ebay and the seller had taken a picture of the original receipt. It cost £260 back in around 1993, 22 years ago. They were a cut above the bog standard Squiers. And this is it [attachment=200490:$_57.JPG] Edited September 11, 2015 by gjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuNkShUi Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Ive got a Silver Series tucked away in the attic! Got it for a good price. Just not worth my while selling it at what current market values it at. It's a great bass for the price. If another comes up at this price, jump on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's the trouble with starting an auction with a high start price. It hides any gauge of how enthusiastic the bidding could be. For all he knows it could have jumped £150 in the last minute or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
