MJT Loaded Aged Olympic White Jazz Bass Body **SOLD**
£375


Recommended Posts

I bought this loaded body recently (unfortunately) just before discovering the joy that is 32" scale basses, I built it up using a Limelight neck and it was fantastic but isn't going to be used now so I may as well move it on.

MJT in the US do fantastic relic work, I hope the pics do it justice, these bodies arn't cheap especilally if you factor in shipping, VAT and import duties.

It has 'Fender Pure Vintage 74' pick-ups and S1 wiring, all of which make for a great sounding bass.

Since I purchased the body I replaced the Bridge for a Madison aged Fender one, the strap pins, thumb rest and neck plate are also Madison aged ones, I also swapped the scratchplate for a semi-cellucoid one.

I must point out that the previous owner had snapped off a screw in the middle position of the bridge, I thought about getting it repaired but TBH it doesn't effect anything, the bridge is more than happy with just the 4 screws and it's not as noticeable as I imagined it might be.

All in all it's a great combination of top quality parts that would make a great sounding and gorgeous looking bass, just add a neck and tuners of your choice.

£375.00 delivered to mainland UK.

Does this take a standard fender neck?

It certainly does :)

Do you know the weight?

With a neck and tuners it was 9.5LBS, I'm happy to weigh just the loaded body if you prefer?

Thanks man, would you mind weighing the body? I'm looking for a body for an aluminium neck I'm having made and it's going to be heavy! Need a heavy body so it doesn't neck dive. :) cheers

5.4LBS that's loaded and including the neck plate and screws.

Also, it says Olympic white, which is usually a creamy off white but this looks yellow in the photos? Is it closer to yellow?

It's mostly looked a lovely warm yellow colour, I've owned an Olympic White 70's Fender in the past and this looks very similar, the White fades to a yellow colour over time due to UV's. It stays white in the area where your arm rubs.
