Clarky Posted June 25 Posted June 25 (edited) Bought very recently on the forum, gigged on Sunday (pic attached) and its just too heavy for my neck/back - had significant discomfort after the gig even though its only about 9 pounds. My other basses are c.8 pounds or less and that is what I will have to stick to going forward as my neck condition is not going to improve. Robert's ad below sets out the details - its one of the first Japanese runs - stub of neck dates it to 2001 - and with some upgrades (eg noiseless pickups). The negatives for full disclosure are that the Hipshot A tuner has a bit of play (it holds tune and works but the first bit of a turn does nothing; worked fine for me at gig but can be replaced at about £30 if it bothers you) and it was routed for a battery pack at the rear (at one stage it had a John East preamp, its now all passive again), not that anyone would ever see this. I have swapped out white scratchplate (which I still have) for a black one, so you have the choice. What else? Wearing new DR Pure Blues 40-100 nickel rounds and comes with 90s style Fender hard case. Usual gen from me - delivery by economy courier for £20 on top or collect in safe public space near me in Barnes, London SW13 (usually Barnes station car park). Passing on at the price I paid which is a bargain FS ad on BassChat: Edited yesterday at 22:18 by Clarky 7 Quote

Marunio Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Hello, Quite interested but need to sale my US Geddy Lee first. 1 Quote
Clarky Posted June 29 Author Posted June 29 I've had questions about the noiseless pickups. They are the DiMarzio Ultra Jazz DP149 set (the individual.pickups are coded DP147 [neck] and DP148 [bridge]). Found a video of someone playing these in a Geddy so you can hear the sounds: 1 Quote
Clarky Posted July 2 Author Posted July 2 Am heartily fed up of eBay tyre kickers with 78 questions/requests who then disappear .... So to keep this in BC community, £50 price cut to £700 (plus 24 or 48 hour economy delivery at cost - £15/20 or thereabouts). PS. The DiMarzio Ultra Jazz noiseless pickups alone cost £150 a set ...

Clarky Posted yesterday at 22:05 Author Posted yesterday at 22:05 (edited) I would accept a discount to my advertised price if I get to keep the near new DR Pure Blues strings on it and swap for another older set (eg, I have some DR coated nickels 'Dragon Skins' 40-100). How does £650 plus post at cost (c.£15/20) sound? No trades, sorry Edited yesterday at 22:17 by Clarky Quote
MungoBass Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Black blocks and binding…. lovely. I had an early one of these Japanese made basses, it had such a slim neck - a joy to play. This is a fantastic price, shame I’m so into Precisions now. GLWYS 1 Quote
Clarky Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago Thanks @MungoBass It's honestly the nicest profile neck I have ever played. Sadly me and 9 pound basses are not a match 😞 Quote
