Grosman Piezo Jazz £750 Harrow

[Happy Jack]

So here's a game I play roughly once a year. I list a whole bunch of basses for sale (really not wanting to sell any of them you understand) and once a couple have actually sold 😩 I let the remaining listings slide down below the radar. Until the next time.

 

I'm not selling because I'm desperate for the money, and if I was John Entwistle then I'd just keep the lot and have an ever-expanding collection, but the reality is that over half my basses get played very little, if at all. Common sense says that at least some of these lovely instruments should get back out in circulation.

 

I have no interest at all in trades. Replacing a bass that doesn't get played with a different bass that won't get played seems like a complete waste of time and effort.

 

On the other hand, many of my basses are pretty non-standard or left-field and therefore hard to price, so I'm not absolutely wedded to the figure stated.

 

I'm in Harrow HA1, close to Sudbury Hill on the Piccadilly Line, and I gig regularly throughout Beds, Bucks, Herts & Middx, with occasional forays into Surrey. Pickup in person is always preferable to despatch (from home, or a mutually-convenient pub, or at one one of my gigs), but I've had nothing but good experiences with DPD so if you live more than - say - 50 miles from Harrow then that's an option.

 

 

Speaking of left-field ...

 

 

I wanted a light-ish weight Jazz with a piezo pickup to make it easier at doubling gigs where I was switching between electric and double bass.

 

 

This one is by Romanian luthier Christian Grosu, who trades as Grosman.

 

 

 

But now, of course, both my frontline DBs have mag pickups. 

 

 

Sometimes I wonder why I bother.

Good Lord, that's a handsome devil.
