JakeBrownBass Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Indeed the LEJ was mine, and it is really nice bass and bloody brilliant sounding! As far as i know, this is the owner order so i'm sure any questions about the neck and the bass in general you can contact them! The bass came from the USA with bc member 'Geester'. He is the original owner afaik, i traded for the bass with ray_6ao7 and then recently traded with rockinbassman. I'm pretty sure the best guy to talk to will be Geester as ray didn't have the bass long before me! i belive this is the original FS thread!

flychris Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hey rockin, put attention to those 70' jazz... some are really nice but a lot are (very...very...) bad. new US from 2008 are better than others, so you could maybe check it ?

Kev Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) i think its a fair point to raise, why did jake sell it?? this guy doesnt get on with fives as he said. It certainly a great looking bass! Edited November 28, 2008 by BassManKev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Damb it I hit the delete button by mistake DOH! this is what I wrote: Please dont take this the wrong was as I really love the Low End bass and have been after one for ages, but everyone seems to say the bass is fantastic and its well made etc, but it seems to have been through 4 owners since september. Why do people not like it and keep moving it on? As I said I am not trying to make out there is a fault with it or imply anything dodgy is going on, I am just curious as to why people did not get on with it? is it just not the right neck profile or is the sound not all that? Just curious! My Roscoe beck had been around the forum for a while and passed through a few hands but I love it to bits and its perfect condition wise, just was not right for a few other folk, mostly the sound and neck profile I seem to remember. As I said pure curiosity, In fact I am tempted to try and sell the roscoe for this bass as I really want something active and it is stunning with those blocks. I do wish you the best of luck with the sale. Edit: I did see your reason which is cool, it took me two attempts at five string to finally love it, it really is not for everyone and I would love an old 70s Jazz Edited November 28, 2008 by NJE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sold it to Ray but Ray is a warwick player. He already had a streamer and full warwick rig. I had a streamer and fancied a change so i traded my warwick for this lowend. After acouple of meetings with my band manager, the 5 string had to go as i needed a 4 string instead. And now, rockinbassman isn't getting along with the 5 string. Hope that helps make things clear!

RayFW Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) OT I know but is the W in LowEnd on the headstock meant to look like a scrotum? Edited November 28, 2008 by rayfw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake[/quote] Thats cool, I realise that some bases are just not right for people and it takes time to find the right bass. I was just wondering if people didnt like the neck shape or something like that or if it was a bit too modern sounding etc having never played one. Anyway awesome looking thing and i really wish it was not close to christmas. I love my Fender and said I would never sell it but I am seriously tempted to give it a whirl on ebay and see what happens for this! Thanks again and good luck. oh by the way I think the "W" on the headstock is a copy from an average white band album cover and meant to resemble a ladies bottom.

YouMa Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 it was offered to me as a swap for my streamer,very pretty but im a four stringer,funnily enough i was almost swayed to it because of the scrotum motif on the headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub_junkie Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 if one half of the W was hanging a bit lower maybe but ladies bottom it is. very nice looking bass btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BassKS Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Well, it must make business sense to buy it. Low End Jazz Bass or a gold bullion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouMa Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Im going to drop the price on my streamer s1,so if it sells i would be interested in the jap jazz.I just dont have funds at the moment,lovely guitars though.

rjb Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) Not quite sure why you'd want to sell both of those for a 70s Jazz. They are just Jazz basses after all, and not always that well made..... . Shuker has a stock J bass for just £650 that will most likely kick the ass of most 70s Jazzes. Or you could buy a Sadowsky. Anyway, just sayin.... Edited December 4, 2008 by rjb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
