****************PRICE UPDATE******************** NOW £1,000 SHIPPED (UK)***********************European Shipping at cost
So this was my first foray into the world of P Bass and I absolutely love it - however, as a solely (up until then!) 5 string player, I have now seen a 5 string PJ I want, so this has to go.
Serial number suggests a 2009 build, and is in excellent condition, recently re-strung with Rotosound flats. No marks, chips, scratches, in the gloss black body, just the usual little swirls etc on the pick guard. Small scuff to rear of headstock, which you can just see in the picture. Has active/passive switching and you can pan between the P or J pickups or of course a blend of the two. Sounds just like a "traditional" P bass in passive mode panned to the P pickup, but bring the Jazz pickup in adds that extra tonal qualities.
- 3 band EQ and tone control when in passive mode.
- 41mm at the nut.
- 18/19mm string spacing at bridge (neck through body stringing or top-load, whichever you prefer).
- weight around 4.1kg. Balances nicely on the strap.
- Has all the original case candy, receipts, documents etc. Case is built like a tank.
PM me if interested - I can ship.
As the title says.
The 3 contenders for my next jazz.
Help me decide guys, anyone with any experience?
The v9 looks the business and is cheaper than the player series, Sandberg around 700 but lovely too.
So, my pickups showed up today. I dig'em. They kinda got a solid modern tone. Like, a "studio tone" if you would. Slightly scooped. But, not dull and honky like other noiseless jazz pickups. Where they sound more like splits or humbuckers. And, they are very responsive. Fender done did pretty good with these guys. Check it out.
Oh FYI,
Apparently you do not need a ground. Like, at all on your bass. It won't hum any more or less than normal, and it will work perfectly fine all in all without it. Because, as it turns out, my bass didn't even have a ground connected at all. No wire ran. Whatsoever. And, it worked just fine in all aspects. Weird right? Learn something new every day.
