Old Horse Murphy Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) Yeah, I know.......I'm a cock sometimes Bought this on Sunday as a backup to my main US P bass and love it to bits. However, I have been asked to join another band where I feel I need a different sounding bass to a P Bass and would like to try a Jazz bass out. I've been caught on the backfoot here are feel foolish about this, but that's just the way it goes. This is (was) Deaver's 2008 Olympic white/rosewood P Bass which is in fantastic condition (apart from a tiny dent on the top edge which isn't through the paintwork and is only visible from a certain angle). It is strung with La Bella Deep Talkin flats, but I would also be happy to put a brand new set of D'Addario Chromes on it. It also has all the case candy, and a black pickguard I have lying around too. It's super-light (8lbs at a guess) and is one of the nicest P Basses I have ever played. If I didn't have so much sentimental value locked up in my other US P Bass I would definitely be keeping this one as it is far superior. Here's the link to Deaver's sale thread (hope you don't mind John): [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88054&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88054&hl=[/url] I am looking for a new Series Fender US Jazz in equally as good condition with a rosewood board (sorry no maple) and preferably sunburst or black or Lakland Joe Osborn (4 or 5 string) If you have anything that fits the bill, please let me know.

Clarky Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Bump for a lovely bass (I used to own it; then again there's a statistically high chance that any white Fender P bass has previosly been owned by Beeedster or myself!) Its the bass I'm playing live at the Dublin Castle in the B&W pic on my profile page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to love it on here, I've not even put the cash in the bank yet. If I wasn't stalking half of Clarky's bass collection I'd have it straight back.

molan Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) You know , there are times when I think I'm pretty bad at the good old bass revolving door syndrome but I'm pleased to see that you continually keep me looking half way sane, lol. I have a string of J styled basses if you want to borrow one whilst you make the big decision about what bass to buy next ? My Shuker J might be just perfect? I haven't played it for 2-3 months and it's sitting at rehearsal venue if you fancy it for a bit? Edited May 22, 2010 by molan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairobill Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Allo I have a 1998 sunburst USA Fender J with a rosewood board (advertised for trade on this board). Condition is good but the back of the neck has been sanded so not perfect. I'm in South London so not too far from you if you'd like a look. I can send pics if you like. I've been after a maple boarded jazz but I've also got a Jamerson fixation so a trade could work well.

Bigwan Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Just a +1 on how good these basses are. Mine is the same vintage and is on a par with my Lakland JO (my no.1 bass of ALL time). I haven't spent much time with any of my other basses since the P arrived... I might have to clear some out if I can get the idea past her-indoors! Bizarrely she's banned me from selling any of my gear, but I digress. Good luck with your sale OHM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
