oldslapper Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Not seen one in white before. GVFM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Interesting- looks like a passive p/j, too. I used to have a passive p/j B2B cricket bat and I much preferred the sound of that over the EMGs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hmmm - the neck is in a bad way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Other than a few dents I can't see the faults with the neck... Enlighten me to what you can see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 The finish is crazed along the entire length of the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Having never noticed one before, bizarrely there is a black one of these passive P/J Jacks just come up on eBay for £200. Twice as much but less than half the work. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/hohner-the-jack-bass-2/123048663927?hash=item1ca6459b77:g:8CAAAOSwk4tavPm6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I used to have one in the 80s when I was in a club band; we wore black & red for one set, so I had a black one with a red strap... As for the bass itself, it was OK; I replaced it with a Washburn Status and then I replaced that with a real Status. I'd say £200 is probably top-end for one of them.

Bassassin Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Interesting one - never seen a bolt-neck Jack before, or a passive p/j for that matter. Does look a bit of a state, & the active through-necks do still turn up for sub £200 prices from time to time, so this is probably a bit dear for a low-end project. Always had a bit of GAS for a j/j through-neck Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
