Linus27 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) I have major gas for a Lakland Darryl Jones Skyline. However, the only way I am going to get one is if I sell my Fender Jazz Classic 1970 Re-issue. I bought it brand new a couple of months ago and only used it at home so it in in total mint condition. It has also been set up by Jo White, a professional luthier which cost £80. New they seem to be around £540 - £580 but seem to be out of stock for some reason. Any ideas what I should sell her for if I decide to? Here is a picture of her on the right. Edited April 15, 2009 by Linus27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutToPlayJazz Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 If your MIM classic 70's jazz is mint, I'd start around 350. Sounds reasonable to me Someone's sure to snare it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 £80 for a setup? Jeez, what does he do for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, what does he do for that?[/quote] Strips the whole bass, treats the wood, checks all the electrics/wiring and replaces or re-wires if needed, greases tuners, saddles etc, adjusts the neck relief, sorts the frets out, pickups height, string height, and setups the bass to suit your playing. I think there is more but can't remember. Every single part of the bass is treated. The bass then plays like creamy butter afterwards :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably worth keeping for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu-khag Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Its got to be worth more than £350 although I'd agree it does depend on how quick you want to sell it. Ive seen them online from around £520 upwards. Ive seen one in a local shop a few pounds shy of 600 quid. if its mint and you have an invoice with the setup work thats been done , surely its worth a punt offering it for near that price and see what happens. People can only haggle it down then. Edited April 16, 2009 by Stu-khag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also comes with a Fender gigbag. £350 seems too low for a bass thats mint condition, only played at home complete with a full setup. Might as well keep it for that price.

They're in stock at [url="http://www.reidys.com/index.pl?submit=View_PLU&PLU=6649&utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=Feed&utm_campaign=PriceComparison"]Reidy's[/url] for £520 And at [url="http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/brands/Fender/Bass/sc1114/b1331/p7007.aspx"]nevada[/url] for £510 I have seen them go on ebay for £350 - £400, the one I saw go for £400 had a Bad Ass II fitted. Was a few months ago though now and I can't find the item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
