The bass started life as a Squier James Johnstone Signature bass that I bought brand new from DV247. This was a great stock bass but I couldn't get on with the high gloss finish on the neck. The neck was swapped for a genuine fender Mex neck purchased from Andertons music. The neck is fitted with Wilkinson tuners that are solid and very stable. I have also had the pickups swapped out for Seymour Duncan quarter pounders. The electrics were also changed and I had a "dub-plate" wiring harness fitted tat I purchased from Jacks Instrument Services - This is a great upgrade as it gives a bit of passive boost as the tone control is a pull switch. You can find out about these at [url="http://www.jacksinstrumentservices.com/prewired-jazz-bass-plate.html."]http://www.jacksinst...ass-plate.html.[/url]

The neck and tuners were professionally installed and the guitar by a local luthier who does excellent work for many musicians on the essex cover band scene. This bass has been gigged and as you might expect there are one or two minor blemishes to the body.

Reason for sale is twofold, I am wanting to have a custom jazz built and need to free up money to help fund this. I also have a squier VM77 jazz that is amazing and has become my go to instrument. Collection preferable from dagenham but I can ship if required in a well packaged guitar box.
This is a great bass and the upgrades alone (neck, PUPS and wiring )cost in the region of £380
