good stuff

mate don't list it on ebay without a reserve, its too nice for you to let it go cheap

if your interested in a trade for either bass i have for sale, pm me

interesting one this this is my parts built jazz bass. The body is from a westfield jazz bass, i believe it to be alder (same as fender jazz's). has quite a nice grain underneath the finish. has a few marks/scratches here n there. has a 3 ply black-white-black scratchplate, again with a couple scratches. some of the screws screwing this onto the body unfortunatly have damaged threads in the wood and so wont tighten, bout 4 i think, a couple of longer screws no doubt would sort this. It has japanese fender pickups installed, which sound fantastic, i played a mim fender jazz couple of weeks ago just out of curiosity, and this just sounded better. the bridge i have no idea who made it, but its very sturdy and a big improvement on the old bent tin bridge. one screw is missing from the bridge, again down to damaged thread in wood, but again a longer screw would work fine. the control knobs have been replaced with genuine fender jazz bass knobs. there is a genuine fender neck pickup cover drilled on nicely, which imo really makes the bass look the part. now onto the interesting part, the neck. the neck was made by a luthier who distributes his parts on ebay (or at least used to). it is the usual rosewood/maple jobby with a skunk stripe, and it is fully nitro lacquered to great effect, and is fantastic to play, and has a very similar feel to the neck on my old contrevesial precision/jazz. the neck alone usually sells for over £100, its very high quality. the rosewood grain is very dark and i really do like it. headstock is blank without any decal, tuner machines i know nothing about. the nut seems to be made out of ivory. the neck itself is great, its how its attached to the body which could be a problem. the screws for the neck when i got the original bass had badly damaged screw heads, and when installing the new neck, in my infinate stupidty, i didnt replace the screws, and instead forced them in again. this led to the neck being stuck to the body. i eventually managed to get 3 of the screws out again, and replaced them with new screws with spring washers (new screws i think are too long, didnt wanna risk going through the fingerboard!) so to summarise, one screw is stuck in the body/neck with a badly damaged screw head, but the rest are all fine. i cant think of a reason why you would want the neck off anyways, the truss rod is at the nut so it should be just fine. i think iv set up the bass fairly well, bit of fret buzz but not bad. so, its a bit of project bass, cosmetic it has its flaws, but playability wise it sound really good, as i said better than a mim fender, and the neck is a dream to play! because of the neck screw thing, im forced to sell this bass for quite a bit less than what it cost me to build more pics can be taken if required £100 collected from Bristol, £120 shipped. this and my peavey are feelers, i doubt il take offers on either a they are both as low as il go cheers

thinking of selling my 2 cheaper basses so i can buy a decent 2nd bass instead, so this is a feeler Iv said lots of good things about these basses on the forum, i think they are brilliant. GORGEOUS mahogony body with a 5 piece mahogany/maple thru neck, string thru body and top load options, has such a warm sound its really nice, controls volume volume tone tone, the tone knobs being very responsive for a passive instrument. neck is very easy to play for a 6 string, not chunky and not too wide. Set up nicely, strings a bit of a mis match but the sound is even on all strings so it doesnt seem absolutly necessary to change strings. for the money these cost they are brilliant value for money, and you'l be hard pressed to find another bass in the price range with wood like this! control cavity has tons of room too if you were to wanna put a preamp in. £200 collected from Bristol, will ship for £220 cheers

it was actually in a helpful form, because nobody will bid on it at that price, and to confirm it was actually the same bass and not a coincedence chill man

having an aguilar amp head is part of my dream setup, im sure its fantastic!

na, its him, i emailed him askin him if it was the same bass, and telling him that theres a reason it sold cheap, the market is on its arse and you probably wont get the profit your after he replied simply 'thanks'
