chrkelly Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Great bass but unfortunately I need some funds for a new double bass. Standard vintage jazz bass specs - alder body, maple neck, rosewood board, passive single coils with vol/vol/tone controls. The body is finished in sonic blue nitro but this has faded to a kind of light seafoam green over time. Looks great. Think it's from the mid 90's and has picked up a few dings on the way but nothing that affects the playability. Sound-wise it's quite resonant and very even across the board. Typical vintage jazz bass sounds. Currently strung with a new set of La Bella flats (not the black nylons pictured). Old hardcase is included. £500 colllected from London, no offers or trades NOW WITHDRAWN, can't let this one go I'm afraid Edited April 7, 2010 by chrkelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 that's a beauty! if its the same one that used to belong to eubassix,I regret not buying it when I had the cash.

eubassix Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Certainly looks like mine! ... very unusual (and nice) in this colour. The strings and Sadowsky style knobs are new. I did a trade deal with artisan (Harrogate) for his 62P re-issue. Not sure where (or with whom) it's been since then - but it is a very nice Jazz bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrkelly Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 It's the same bass! I bought it off Artisan last summer and it's been my go to bass for west end work ever since. Really don't want to let it go but unfortunately uprights aren't cheap. Oh and the knobs are still the original Fender style ones, the lighting in the photo makes them look like Sadowskys.

MythSte Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Christ, I still maintain that my bacchus is totally the "one that got away". If this is half as good then half a ton is a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artisan Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I always regretted selling that bass & would buy it back in a flash if i could get the dosh sorted. this is the best jazz bass i have ever played & i've had quite a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
