It's with great sadness that I've decided to sell this fantastic 1965 Jazz bass, refinished in Olympic White by Joseph Kaye Guitars. 

I'm looking for £4000 for the bass. Ideally, buyer to collect from London NW3, but happy to package for courier collection if buyer arranges.

Unfortunately, I will not ship outside of the UK at present.

Trade-wise, I'm interested in Wal, US Lakland, US Spector, nice precision-type basses, or those basses that start with R which no-one mentions around here...

Hopefully the photos will demonstrate its beauty, but the low-down on what's non-original/original below:

Non-original

  • Olympic white nitro body and headstock refinish, nicely checked with mild relicing
  • Reproduction headstock decal
  • Replacement bone nut
  • Refret - frets are in great shape!
  • A couple of screws here and there...

Original 

  • Body
  • Neck
  • Tuners
  • Bridge
  • Pots, dating to 1965
  • Grey bottom pickups with original winds 
  • Tort guard with some repairs to cracks, highlighted in photos below
  • Pickup covers/ashtrays
  • Everything else that I've failed to remember/mention!

Also comes with a slightly battered but fully-functional case, which I believe is by Hagstrom, as the bass was imported from Sweden at some point.

Sounds absolutely killer! Really acoustically loud, and strong, thick, balanced amplified sound with a beautiful tone.

Will confirm on weight asap, but it's very light, i.e. less than 4kg.

Any other questions, just ask!
