Clarky Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Due to re-shuffle of bass collection (notably arrival of vintage Fender P) I am putting this beauty up for sale. [attachment=36873:clarky_basses_010.JPG][attachment=36874:clarky_basses_011.JPG] Its a 2009 MIA Jazz in sunburst/tort/rosewood. Cost me just under £900 from Anderton's in September. Its in absolutely pristine condition (any swirls on pics are just reflections)and has never been gigged. Its currently strung with D'Addario Chromes (but I could swap these for rounds if required) and comes with the new case etc. I would be looking for £700. That would be over a c.£200 saving on new. and more like a £250+ saving on most retailers Cheers Clarky PS. No trades please, only cash PPS. Was originally offered FS with an Audere preamp installed. I have remioved this and sold it separately so its restored to original Fender control plate. Edited December 22, 2009 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB2000 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'd be interested in the Audere if someone wants the bass with the original control plate. I ended up with your white/maple Jazz (probably one of the nicest jazzes I've played in the last 30 years) and wouldn't mind trying the Audere in it (not a big fan of the J East preamp).

As you know I uninstalled an Audere before I sent it to you, but it is a great preamp in that particular bass. It's far less lively than the J-Retro, or perhaps a better way of putting it is that it's somewhat more restrained! I would generally always use the J-Retro in a fretless Jazz but tend to prefer the Audere on a fretted. TBH I would have thought Clarky would have better luck dropping the asking price for the bass by £100 and selling the Audere to you anyway? Clarky, tell us about the incoming bass mate?

Clarky Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Well its not incoming yet - I was supposed to view a lovely-looking all-original sunburst 72 P bass tonight but my youngest got sick and ended up having to go to hospital (just back now). Kids ..... Edit: I would prefer to sell the Jazz "as is" in order that I do not have to get the soldering iron out as I am not a lover of soldering (the beauty of the Audere, sound apart, is its screw-on with no soldering!)

Clarky Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 For now I have decided to try to sell this bass "as is", ie, including the Audere, in part as I'm in no particular hurry to sell and in part as I don't have the time or inclination to re-solder the Fender pots. Of course, this does not stop a potential buyer from swapping out the preamps and selling on the Audere - but TBH it is a better bass for having the Audere installed, with much broader tonal flexibility. So for now its £800 all-in. If no interest follows I may re-consider picking up my soldering iron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 For those worried about battery changing etc, the battery lasts in an Audere for 250 hours! Plus you get 10 hours of life after the warning flash starts so no in-gig screw-ups!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman101 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 would probably be very interested in just the bass in about a week and half/two weeks time if no1's taken it, (without Audere most probably) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my 2009 with Audere is anything to go by this is a cracking bass with sufficient versatility (from the Audere) to do a good Precision tone (using the Q switch), a great funk/slap tone (Q switch in opposite position), and a really good range of Jazz tones. As it's Clarky you know you'll get a pretty much brand new instrument as well. C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately buyer had to withdraw as he was relying on a sale of another bass to fund mineM And yes it is a lovely and mint condition bass which I am only selling to fund my own incoming purchase!

dave_bass5 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Good luck with the sale Clarky. If you do get stuck with the Audere ill be up for it (i know someone has already asked for it, but if that falls through let me know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want to swap out the Audere if I can help it, not because its difficult to remove (its dead easy and would only take 2 minutes) but because I don't want to get into soldering back the Fender pots (or paying someone to do it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman101 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I just hope that this is still around monday, because id almost definatly want it, ofcourse being the "Oh everyone has that colour with that pickguard" type, id change it for a black one, and i so love the grain showing through, and it would be a change from all the MIM's ive owned and played, and the preamp would be soo cool. I was really after something with a maple neck though, but ive got nothing against rosewood, im just blagging on a bit now, but honestly, a really nice bass!
