highwayone Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Selling due to clear out. I love this bass and it plays really well and is in overall great condition. Maple neck and sunburst finish. It has a tort plate and also comes with a white one and an off white one. Hardly any marks to mention,tried to capture any but apart from a slight scratch on the back and a scuff on the head not much else wrong. Based in leicester but could meet up somewhere mutual.

highwayone Posted July 17, 2016 Author Posted July 17, 2016 For fans of The Jam this bass is fitted with strings from Bruce Foxton's bass!
highwayone Posted July 20, 2016 Author Posted July 20, 2016 [quote name='timhiggins' timestamp='1469031425' post='3095241'] Has it had a bridge upgrade ? [/quote] I believe it has although it it was already on when I bought it as I'm not the original owner.
highwayone Posted July 20, 2016 Author Posted July 20, 2016 [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1469046603' post='3095420'] what does it weigh please? [/quote] I'll pop it on the scales tomorrow Tom
highwayone Posted July 21, 2016 Author Posted July 21, 2016 Weight wise I've weighed it on my bathroom scales which aren't the best and it's coming in at 9 1/4 lbs.

tom1946 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Thanks, all fenders seem to be too heavy for a bad back.

[/quote] Thought it may be a tad too heavy for you Tom. Must admit I'm getting there! Hollow bodies and hofner violin basses are my bag these days😕😉
tom1946 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Oh no! I was taliking to Stephen Chown the other day and suggested he'd have a ready market for J & P basses that were sub 8lbs, I'd buy one of each like a shot. Gaping hole in the market imo, I'm not alone needing lightness. I have a Chowny mk1 and it's a great bass, nice n light but the strap peg is on the back which I find uncomfortable as well as the bass falling forward. Edited July 21, 2016 by tom1946

tom1946 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I think they're about £375 ish, a lot of bass for the money, I doubt you'd find better.
