martthebass Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) It is with a heavy heart that I am putting this bass out for sale/trade. I Commissioned it from Mark at Classic and Cool last year and it has certainly exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a YOB Jazz but didn't have the £000s to spare so after a bit of looking about I decided this was my best option. It has suffered from the dreaded 'over relic' on the bridge and as such this has been replaced with a Q Parts relic BBOT bridge with the same period correct saddles. It plays beautifully and has to be the nicest sounding Jazz I've owned (and ive certainly had a few, US, MIM, MIJ, MIC) and has a great vintage vibe, I don't know what pickups Mark uses but they are quite excellent. Unfortunately I'm suffering from my intermittent shoulder/neck problem and the weight on this bass (about 9.5lb) is causing me grief so I'm only able to use my little Status Streamie at the minute on gigs. I love Jazzes and ideally I'd like another one and will consider trades for sub 9lb specimens. For cash I'm looking for £600 or £650 inc the Hiscox case (which is mint as it was only used to ship the bass in the first place). Postage ok (at buyers expense) or meet up within a reasonable distance of sunny South Yorkshire. Edited March 24, 2016 by martthebass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jwlkr1991 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Bloody hell. That's beautiful. And I don't even like jazz basses, but I want this! Sadly I can't afford. I wish you all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Thank you very much J! I know it's early days but I think I'll incentivise this sale a little. 1. For trade I'll open up to lightweight options less than 9lbs, I'd prefer a Jazz, but hit me with what you have, I can only say no... 2. For cash I'll take £600 or £650 with the Hiscox case. Postage extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
