  1. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1432681703' post='2783983'] Up for trades, Gary? [/quote] You thinking of swapping that old P of yours? Thought you were keeping it this time. [quote name='B-for-Beatles' timestamp='1432740473' post='2784472'] Interested to trade with Fodera monarch standard 4 serial number one? [/quote] I'm only selling this to fund another bass purchase, so definitely not interested in trades at this stage thanks.

  4. [center]Fender 1973 Jazz.[/center] [center]Sunburst and Rosewood.[/center] [center]A lovely vintage sunburst, U.S. Jazz bass, including original hardcase.[/center] [center]It’s getting harder to find decent, playable, unbutchered examples of this vintage. I am reluctant to sell but a 60’s Jazz has caught my eye and so, to fund the purchase I need to move this on first. It will get withdrawn if I miss the opportunity to get the other one.[/center] [center]If you are looking for a good 70's Jazz, this is a lovely one. The paintwork has a pleasing level of ageing, patina and wear from over forty years of use but more importantly it just plays so well.[/center] [center]Pickups, pots and hardware are all original with the exception of the chrome neck pup cover.[/center] [center]The block and bound neck looks great and the fretwork is superb.[/center] [center]There are no dead spots and the frets are still in exceptional condition.[/center] [center]The fretboard radius is 7.25[/center] [center]Width at nut is approx 38 mm.[/center] [center]I haven’t gigged it yet but would happily do so as at just 9lb 6oz it is a comfortable weight and it balances well on the strap.[/center] [center]Through my little practice combo it sounds like a 70’s jazz should sound.[/center] [center]The controls work smoothly and the pots are quiet and crackle free.[/center] [center]Currently it is strung with flats and judging by the condition of the frets, I would guess that it always has been.[/center] [center]For sale at £ 2,600[/center] [center]Collection preferred from my place in Herts.[/center] We can discuss courier options if necessary but please bear in mind that it will be at the buyers risk, if posting without proper insurance.

  6. [quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1432515782' post='2782272'] Third gig of our three gig bank holiday weekend, this time at my local pub, so I was able to walk there and back (200 yards each way) with my rucksack and a couple of Jazz basses. No amp as I DI through the PA these days. Each of the three gigs has been better than the last, this one certainly topped them all. We played for a total of three hours, including several encores and 2 or 3 songs we had never played before. Finally, they organised a collection for the charity of my choice in celebration of my recent triumph over prostate cancer, £130 raised. I did have to play an impromptu bass solo as a condition of the pub adding £50 to the collection, but seemed to get away with it. [/quote] Sounds like a good weekend of gigs. Well done on raising the £130 and congrats on triumphing over the Prostate Cancer, there are a few of us veteran prostate problem fighters on here
  7. Looking good, how was its first outing?

  10. [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1432362115' post='2780775'] said bass is for sale. when the mods decide its ok. jeez. [/quote] Have you been on to anyone on the Mods Team? If not, then so long as it is currently your bass, that is, you paid out the dosh and therefore own it, then there is no problem with you advertising it. If you have already contacted one of us and are awaiting a decision, then just ignore me
  11. So sad to hear of the passing of yet another great player
  12. that looks very lovely Dan and will be even better with the black p/g
  13. That's a looker Nick. Like the look of the fret board timber.
  14. Hope you enjoy the anticipation and then the opening ceremony, as much as I did last week with my arrival. I'm sure it will be an excellent choice and look forward to seeing the pics. Wish you well mate
  15. [quote name='Tweedledum' timestamp='1432103407' post='2778081'] VERY fine example of a 70s 4-bolt Jazz! Beautiful indeed. Is the neck straight? (My '74 4-bolt had quite a ski jump....) [/quote] Neck is all good, I'm pleased to say. [quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1432131115' post='2778438'] That's such a lovely, classic-looking example Gary! Good buy How's the weight? Put my 75 on the scales the other day, and it came in at 5.6kg ... [/quote] The weight is 9lb 6oz so I should find it comfy to gig with. [quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1432132209' post='2778450'] Nice looking bass, the strings could be Pyramid Golds [/quote] Thanks for that redstriper, whatever they are, so far I really like them, for the lovely smoothness under the finger tips.

  17. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1432054045' post='2777628'] A superb period Jazz indeed. I'm particularly drooling over the pickguard, Really lovely lush bit of proper tort, that is! [/quote] We love a bit of lush tort [quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1432059460' post='2777730'] That's a beauty Gary, GLWTS. [/quote] Yes I suspect it will go to make way for another P at some point.
