Alex B Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Price: £200. No trades thank you. I've just bought another Jazz bass from a member on here, so this one is now surplus to requirements. I bought it new from PMT in Norwich about 18 months ago, primarily as a backup bass to take to gigs. I've played it very little, and as such, it's in good condition. There are a couple of minor blemishes I've tried to show in the pictures, which I can only assume are down to less-than-perfect finishing from the factory. It has a natural finish maple body, and maple neck with binding and block inlays. The neck is "C"-shaped, I'd say relatively slim, and comfortable to play. Pickups are Fender designed single coils which give you that recognisable Jazz bass sound. I've not given it much attention since I bought it, so it'd probably benefit from a decent setup. The action is a little higher than I'd like, and the strings are still the original ones. I would've thought some new strings and a setup (from someone slightly more capable than me) would brighten it up and make it lovely to play. As mentioned earlier, there are a couple of slightly poorly finished areas. The lacquer around the nut on the top of the neck appears slightly bubbled. Then at the other end of the neck where it meets the body, there are a couple of chipped bits of laquer, and the finish around those last couple of frets is a little rough. These were all present when I bought the bass, and didn't put me off as they are pretty minor. Other than that, it hasn't really had enough use to pick up any knocks, so the general finish is very good. All in all though, it's a decent bass for not much money, ideal as a backup or perhaps as a first foray into five string-ness. Here's a link to the bass on the Fender/Squier website - [url="http://shop.fender.com/en-GB/squier-electric-basses/jazz-bass/vintage-modified-jazz-bass-v-5-string/0306760505.html#start=1"]http://shop.fender.c...05.html#start=1[/url] As you can see from the link, the RRP is £380, so hopefully I'm asking a reasonably sensible price. Anyone relatively local to Norwich is welcome to come round and try it out through my Genz Streamliner and Markbass 2x10 cabs. Alternatively, I'm happy to arrange a courier at the buyer's cost. I've used UPS via Interparcel in the past, so would get a quote from there unless you have another preference. I'll include a spare gig bag with the bass. I think that's everything, happy to answer any other questions, or provide more pics. Speaking of pics, here you go...

Alex B Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Weekend bump. This is going on eBay on Sunday with a 99p start price and a low reserve. Make me a silly offer before it goes on there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
