This thing balances perfectly, is light (just under 3.5kg), has a good action and is so good ergonomically.  The neck is a slim jazz width of 38mm at the zero fret.

The back of the neck appears to be satin, so whether that is original or someone went at it with wire wool I can’t say, but it’s as comfy as your favourite socks.

I accidentally damaged the preamp wiring, so swapped out the guts for a @KiOgon passive loom (VVT) and it’s come alive!!!  The old active/passive switch is currently wired to SFA.

I will include the preamp if you really want it, though it really is so much better sonically as a passive.

There’s a bit of tape residue on the back plastics that I’ll remove before sending it off too.

There are some knocks (and tried to capture them in the piccies) and the jack barrel is held in by friction (as was the original it transpires!) but I’ve gigged it a couple of times and it’s solid.

Hard case included.

Priced to sell and includes UK postage.

Always had GAS for one of these, and that's a great price for what looks like a nice example.

If it was the J/J version, I'd be all over it - GLWTS!

The back pickup sounds j-like to me, and I must confess I haven’t changed the strings, so that would sharpen the tone, no doubt.  Ah, go on!

Love these iconic 80s basses. Great range of tones and nice slim playable necks..Great for gigs with ,limited stage space too,  No headstock to chiv on cymbals or singers heads etc  Sadly sold one just like this around 2 years ago, for more than twice this price! Would snap it up but I have far too many basses. Somebody please buy this before I get on the ferry!  GLWS.
