It's a stunning, amazing sounding instrument. The only reason Im selling is that it has a relatively chunky neck (nice shape, but a 42mm nut) for a jazz and I have small midget hands. As much as I love it, I never quite got totally comfortable with it.[/center] [center]Professionally setup by the Bass Gallery, Camden, it has wonderful buzz free low action.[/center] **************************************************************************************SOLD***************************************************************************************** [center][b][url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Jabba_4_FM_BB.html"]http://www.bassdirec...ba_4_FM_BB.html[/url][/b][/center] [center][i]See here for some porn[/i] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/161266-mayones-jabba-and-heavily-modded-warwick-porn/page__p__1592716__hl__mayones__fromsearch__1#entry1592716"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1592716[/url] Outstanding condition.

TheDaivisch Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hi guys - any thoughts on whether there's something wrong with this post? I'm not getting as much interest as I'd hoped... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It doesn't help that they're not a very well known brand, I've been having trouble selling my custom be4 even though most Warwick / Spector fans would love it if they got they're hands on it, Im thinking about withdrawing mine as it's too good to let go at a silly price. The market is dead at the moment, so unless you want to take a fairly big hit on value you might be waiting a while for a sale. One thing you might want to do is try taking it up to Bass Direct and get them to do a comission sale, as they stock Mayones anyway and know what they're talking about - I was planning on doing this last year until I needed it for a recording project which has since dropped off. I will say though, I played a Jabba before ordering my be4 and it was very nice, I came very close to ordering one of those instead and tbh now, I think I would. I'll bet yours sounds great with the Delanos in it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDaivisch Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yeah I think you're right. I've spoken to Mark already, and he's going to be handling getting a Sandberg to replace this so I'm pretty close to just doing that, or maybe dropping it in Bass Gallery Camden. These are fantastic basses and it's a shame they aren't as well known as other makes. I reckon I'll give that a try, cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDaivisch Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Going to Bass Direct pretty soon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomE Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi I think this is a lovely looking bass It suffers from not being a well known name. The downside is that you won't really get anything like the new value when trying to sell because its not a Fender/Warwick/MusicMan and that there aren't well known bands or musos playing them. Would you be interested in a trade? I have a couple of things that might suit. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_stones Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Wow, gorgeous looking bass. Out of interest how do these sound? I would be very tempted though like most, I'm skint; all I have is my LJ Dragon bass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_stones Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 P.s. How do the Nordy's compare to the Delano's? (I'm a bit of a Delano fan myself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDaivisch Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 The nordys are more Jazz-esque - more grind than the delanos. The delanos are rounder and more modern sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
