budget bassist Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) For sale here is my fender Reggie hamilton Jazz. Right now it's just a feeler i guess because it depends on the sale of my tobias etc, basically i want a bongo. Anyway, this bass is made in mexico with USA parts, so USA bridge, pickups, tuners etc, so it's a really nice bass, and very unusual in that it has a precision pickup and active EQ. It's in fairly good condition due to the finish being pretty tough and it's not really been bashed about, though there is the odd mark here and there, and IMO, the 3TS finish is really pretty. It plays really well too, the neck finish is somewhere between satin and gloss and it's really really slim and plays incredibally. It also has an active/passive switch so that you can still get that natural woody sound coming through. It also has a badass II bridge retrofitted onto it, but i still have the original bridge + screws. It also comes stock with a hipshot detuner, which is really handy. Also included is a plastic thumbrest + screws and a cheapy fender gigbag, but i will package it well if i end up posting. Specs are as follows: Solid alder body Maple neck Rosewood board 3TS poly finish American series precision pickup American noiseless jazz bridge pickup 3 band 18V active EQ w/ active/passive switch BadassII bridge (black) chrome hardware Fender stamped hipshot detuner Tort pickguard (i may have a spare black one for it too) Fender american vintage style bridge THIS BASS IS NOW SOLD pictures: Edited January 13, 2009 by budget bassist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 yeah, ray is right. the standard i'm selling is made in mexico with american hardware, but there is an american custom shop version, which is obviously a lot more expensive.

budget bassist Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 i definitely think the looks are an acquired taste, but if you can get past that, then they're fantastic basses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 too right, only played one once in the local soundcontrol, HH model, blown away by it, even through a terrible ashdown amp! wasnt just the sound either, really comfortable to play and the neck was lightening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 I know what you mean, i just couldn't put my finger on it, the neck isn't like noticably slim or anything, but it just feels so comfortable to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
