[quote name='Me And My Bass' timestamp='1436009219' post='2814304'] I will get the measurements for you today mate, I is the smallest 2x15 I have ever came across . . Only slightly bigger than the BF compact. It does however weigh a good wee bit, still one hand manageable though. [/quote] Thank you! The problem with heavy cabs is not the weight alone, is that they are bulky, which combined makes it awkward... It looks like it is a nice compact package that could be easy to handle.

Hmmm, could I please have dimensions and weight, please Chris? This actually may be a pretty good opportunity as I'm not entirely convinced by my TKS cabs...

[quote name='N64Lover' timestamp='1435862999' post='2813213'] I had one similar to the 1996 that I imported used from Japan in 2008. I was living in Edinburgh and sold it to some guy but I can't remember his name. I had it for 3 months but had to sell it in order to buy a flight somewhere, always regretted it! It's ticking all the boxes for me....Edinburgh, J-Retro, sanded neck...argh! Tempting. [/quote] well, if you're in Edinburgh... that must be a sign! It left Edinburgh and I brought it back, clearly it wants to stay! great avatar!!! I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me at first!

[quote name='Isabass' timestamp='1435857168' post='2813132'] What's the weight of the 1996 ? [/quote] My scales are not the most accurate, but it reads about 4.5 Kg.

[quote name='Simon.' timestamp='1435850446' post='2813053'] The 1996, MoP one used to be mine - I bought it through John at Fareast Guitars in about 2005. Best neck I've ever played. Wish I could justify getting this back... Feel free to ask any questions, if you have them. [/quote] Thank you, Simon! Ah, so you were not the first owner? I always thought you were!

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1435838019' post='2812877'] Oh i do miss her Jose.!!! [/quote] It is a very nice bass, I understand why you were so attached to it! I'm glad you are enjoying the Lakland 55-02 I traded you for the Jazz Your thread about it made me miss it too, but I have a lot more use for the Jazz. I've always had a love/hate relationship with the Jazz bass: I love the sounds it makes, but I don't get along with slim necks like those. That did not stop me from buying quite a few Jazz basses over the years!!! That one in particular, with the figured ash body and the pearl type blocks, is stunning. I haven't gigged with it (gigs have been exclusively with the Precision or the Maruszczyk P/JJ in the past months), but I used it for a few rehearsals and it's lovely.

A few enquiries but nothing solid so far... and I keep changing my mind as to which one I'd prefer to keep, argh! I like the sound of the EMGs, so I'm leaning towards that and I already have another bass with the J-Retro... but I'm a sucker for the pearl blocks look

This combo is a jewel. Probably the best purchase I have ever made, musically. Great price too! I use it a lot when I have PA support as a stage monitor... it sounds great and can be loud if I want it to be. By itself it can even manage small bars, and if you add a good extension cab it can sound huge. Amazing portable little beast!!!

[quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1435595685' post='2810410'] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]Got this a few years ago, my first jazz style bass. However, as the years have gone on, i find im not using it as much. Might as well let someone else use it.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]Its a dam fine sounding jazz bass by the brand "vintage" with all wilkinson hardware. Sounds exactly like a jazz should. Has Fair bit of buckle rash on the edges, and stick on block markers. Interested in trades.[/size][/font][/color] Based in new Brighton on the wirral, come by for a try. [/quote] One of these was my first Jazz too, and my first "real" bass (I had a crappy P bass and a Squier PJ before, but they got less than 3h play together, as I only care about guitars and the bass was just to help me record basic basslines once in a blue moon). I sold it once I got a couple of Warwicks and this wasn't seen action. I missed it!!! I was able to buy it back a few years later. I played a gig once and the bass player of the other band was the buyer. I did not recognise him at first but the bass had a couple of modifications that made it unmistakeable. I told him I wanted it. A year or so later he relinquished I love that bass!!! The neck in mine is slimmer than any Jazz I have ever tried. Some really like that.
