Bought on this forum in April for £2200 and basically the same condition etc, bar changed strings for 'old school' style Pyramid flatwounds (has tweed hard case, candy etc etc). Obviously not left the house in that time ... Original FS ad link here: I adore the looks and the history but - having given it a couple of months 'crack of the whip' - I just am not comfortable with the chunky neck over extended periods of playing (I prefer short/medium scale and my other Precision has a skinny 70's neck). I broke my left hand a decade ago and I cannot cope with clubbier necks, unfortunately, despite how lovely this bass is. Socially-distanced handover in SW13 (south of Hammersmith) or post for £30 on top within UK (£60 to EU). Pics below including two different 'tug bars', original maple and black dyed maple one courtesy of Rick's Fine '52 PS, no trades thanks. Kind of need the money given COVID impact on finances

Hello! Great workhorse basses, these. Details below: : Weight: 9.7 lbs / 4.4 kg on the bathroom scales Scale: 34” Bridge: 19mm 21 frets Nut: 1 11/16” Radius: 10” Body: Alder Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Rosewood Bolt-on neck Hardware: Gold Pickups: 2 alnico single coil (stacked hum cancelling) Electronics: volume, blend, 3 band EQ (+/- treble / bass and two mids presets - the mid control is a 3-way rotary selector switch to select between flat and the two presets) Mother of Pearl and Abalone inlays, gloss finish It's a really nice active super-jazz. Without the offset body. An example of this model demo'd very expertly here: ...by the redoubtable Jeff Andrews (RIP); and this actual bass demo'd significantly less effectively here, by me: Happy to answer any questions here on the thread or by PM. Shipping: obvs better for you to come and try out here in Elephant & Castle (I'll provide some socially-distanced biscuits and a cuppa), but if that's not possible, I can ship to you via your choice of courier at your additional expense, or, if it's reasonable, deliver to you in my car for a contribution to the fuel money, whichever is cheaper for you. Trades: thank you, no. Many thanks for checking out the ad!

@Deeper and down Check out the feedback thread, if the buyer/seller has good positive feedback from others on the site, then you know you're in safe hands. Otherwise, if you're uncertain, then try and collect with cash or pay via PayPal good payments and know that the 4% is your payment for a safety net if things goes sideways. Also, check out the buyer/sellers profile, see if they are active members that contribute to threads regularly, if so, again you're probably in safe hands, if the buyer/seller is brand new to the site, maybe try and talk to them via PM, get a vibe for who they are and if they know the gear they're buying/selling. If ANYTHING smells fishy, abort! Or, at the VERY least, use PayPal goods and pay the 4% for that important safety net! Thems be my advice!

Hi all, Here's my 1983 JV Squier Jazz bass for sale. Lots of info on JVs at 21Frets if you're not familiar. The headstock decal Let's get the obvious thing out of the way first: the headstock has been refinished with Fender 'spaghetti' logo and the bridge has been replaced, long before I owned it. You can see it has the JV serial on the neck plate. I've also seen the neck stamp and pencilled "January '83" date on the base of the neck when it was being set up by Andy Gibson on Denmark Street. Apparently this modification was fairly common before JVs got their reputation, but nonetheless, I appreciate this puts it in the 'players' rather than 'collectors' category and have priced accordingly. I've checked with @ped that it's cool to sell here. Everything else On to the good stuff. It's in excellent condition for a 37 year old bass. There's some superficial dings and scratches on the body, neck and headstock, but nothing deep or severe. The frets are showing some wear. I've done my best to capture anything I can see in the pictures, but it's tricky as they're very light. Electrics all working and it plays and sounds fantastic. I've recorded and gigged with it many times, and loved it dearly. The neck is a particularly good - I found it very forgiving, and I've got small hands. It has vintage-style reverse wind tuners and includes an ashtray bridge and a modern Fender hard case. These were based on '62 Jazzes, and it has a lovely vintage vibe coupled with a reliable build. I played it on this EP if you want an idea of the sound. Second and third tunes probably feature the bass most prominently (it's not exactly Pastorius, but you'll get the idea). I'm selling as I'm a guitar player primarily, and no longer playing bass in bands, so it's been sat in a case for a year. Trying/buying Potential buyers welcome to view and try out in SE London (in as socially distanced a way as possible). I'll also ship to the UK, insured with UPS, for £25. I imagine postage to EU will be a bit more. Thanks for reading, and happy to answer any questions. Ben PS if someone has a telecaster to trade, I'd listen!
