Feeler: Fender Marcus Miller Jazz Bass in olympic white

Hi all,

I am brand new to the forums here :) but I very much look forward to contributing in the future.

I have a Marcus Miller jazz bass in moderately used but good condition which, apart from creme DiMarzio Model J's (I still have the originals also), a Gotoh 201B and Hipshot vintage machine heads is original - the only thing really you would probably want to change back due to personal preference are the pickups, as the Badass II that came with standard with it became a pain in the butt and so did the machine heads! The 'cowbell' pickup cover is not attached but again would also be included

I will be putting up pictures soon, but just for a ballpark figure to start off, I was looking for something like £460 O.N.O? It is a very striking looking bass as will be shown when I get round to taking some snaps!

Thanks for reading :rolleyes: anybody possibly interested? Any questions also, then please don't hesitate to ask.

Lovely cat!

Yeah, I have had it since 2005 and it has been my No. 1 bass - it has lived with me, and as I've said to some of the PM'ers I just fancy a change and to move onto something else.

I will post a proper detailed account of the bass with pictures soon (time has escaped me lately) but for now, here is a picture I could muster from my FB (sorry about my gormless expression),

I am right this second replying to PM's,

I also found amongst the parts a Seymour Duncan 1/4" jazz bass bridge pickup, so just for the hell of it I can throw that in with the standard pickups too.

[quote name='beastie' post='743323' date='Feb 12 2010, 05:34 PM']WHY IS THIS BACK UP FOR SALE?[/quote]

Well obviously either sockdeluxe_mikey or more likely the person who bought the bass from him, saw a bigger profit on eBay! :)

<edit>

On reflection, I'll add the caveat; assuming the eBay sale isn't a scam and that the bass sells for £550... which (net all fees if the buyer uses paypal) isn't actually going to be a huge amount over the original £460 selling price!

Noting who the buyer was, I think this thread may explain a few things, assuming the listing is legit:
