Vintage VJ74 CAR jazz - £149 - *SOLD* £175 Orpington BR6

[Happypants]

Vintage VJ74 ReIssued jazz bass.

Candy Apple Red, Wilkinson hardware all round. 

Excellent condition, no dings or dongs. Plastic film still on pickguard.

 

Weight 9.4lbs.

 

Picked this up second hand off eBay as a mod platform and was very impressed for the price. Typically something lightweight came up right after and I don't need two "budget" jazzes.

 

I've cleaned, oiled board, new strings and basic setup. To me, the G string looks too far away from the edge of the fretboard but it's sat in the bridge saddle correctly and nut looks good. Can't feel anything untoward when playing. Also, the E string is a little louder than the rest, not sure if this is the strings, pickups or my crap setup.

 

Anyway, looking for £175 which is what I got it for plus the cost of the strings.

 

No case or gigbag but have ample packing materials to post (mainland UK only).

Welcome to come have a look/play in Orpington. 

 

Will get some better photos up but for now:

Please stop selling such tempting basses. Or simply move away to somewhere not local.

 

Thanks!

I see what you mean, but I'm fed up with basses where I play "perfectly" accurately and the G string slips off the edge of the board 🤣

Reduced to £149, need to reclaim some space!
