Fazley bargain

[MichaelDean]

I've been tempted. For £63 with the discount code, it seems rude not to, especially when I sold a guitar recently and there's another bass I've been looking to sell! Let's see what turns up. Should be here on the 2nd.

At that price, I doubt you would have any regrets. I actually like that finish! I wonder if the neck pocket would fit a standard fender jazz neck? 

 

From memory, I don't think when I was starting bass in the mid 90s there was much on offer below £200 😀 Crazy what is available now!

A Chinese made Roasted Jazz neck alone would cost you more than that. To be able to get a hand stained natural Ash jazz for that is just giving them away. It's the old adage of 'stack em high, sell em cheap'. Even if the pickups are hot garbage, you can replace them with some nice Fender Pure Vintage 66s for just over £100, thusly more than doubling the value of the bass, he said.

 

I've just ordered one too - it'll be another affordable bass to sell to a pupil when needed. I just noticed the RRP is usually £245!

@HeadlessBassist exactly! Pay no attention to the RRP though. It usually sells more around £130-150.

If mine is as heavy as a Boat Anchor, I'll be sure to send it to you, but with a special note to the courier saying to put it down carefully - may create Sink Holes!

I bought this blue Pbass during Black Friday for 65€. Shielded the cavities (very poorly cut inside) and put some ETB92 Tapewounds i rescued from a long gone bass and it sounds and plays wonderfully..

Had a look at the 5-strings. Js and Ps around the same price, £160-170. One peculiarity - normal price of B-stock is £75 less than mint, however the B-stock discount is only £5 for the sale instruments. I'd be very tempted at < £100 even though I'd have to remove the paint, but sadly (or perhaps happily, seeing as I'm trying to reduce the herd) they're £172.
