    I've just got my bass back from Dave, it's a Fender Elite Jazz and I've had it sprayed Olympic white nitro from it's original natural. So here is my experience with it.... I bought this bass from @andybassdoyle back in May after being on the search originally for a '75 RI which seem hard to come by. I love the black block on maple look. This bass was in my budget and I thought the modernisations of compound radius, active (although we'll come back to this), matte neck and the possibility of string through bridge were worth a try. After receiving the bass, it felt right and was a joy to play. But that preamp just wasn't doing it for me, so out it went (as well as the Gen 4 noiseless pick ups) and in went a set of Dimarzio Model J's and a VVT set up with the 4th knob being a capacitor switch. Lovely. Then after seeing @AndyTravis 's MM jazz respray, I thought about a spray job on mine. The body on my jazz was a bit plain, so a paint job would help it stand out and I've always liked the idea of a white nitro finish which will age nicely. I believe this model did come in white, but I couldn't see any for sale anywhere with a maple neck. So got in touch with David at the end of July and we went over what I had in mind and such. I stripped off all the hardware and sent it off 11/08. David kept me updated along the way while sanding and prepping and when it came to mixing the colours. And finally the finished bass: Everything fitted (extremely carefully) back together as it should, so happy days. I couldn't be happier with the job David did on it. He is such a nice guy to deal with, the price was very fair (IMO) and the turn around time good too. Over time it will mellow out to a more cream colour and will show wear and tear. So yeah, if you want something resprayed, David is your guy. And now my bass is exactly how I want it. Thanks.

    Up for sale is a 2015 Ibanez SRFF805 Fanned Fret 5 String bass with an Ibanez shaped ABS hard case. Not long ago bought from @Old Horse Murphy, but due to me recently getting a Warwick $$5, this hasn't been played much. It's in great condition, bar a thumb-nail mark above the front pickup (seems to be common on these), a few small dings and the marks on the pickups, all pictured as best I could. It's a good introduction to fan fret basses, it's quite a small fan amount, but I've had this bass tuned down to A standard and you can notice how well it holds the down-tuning. The included hard case has some marks, but is structurally sound. That's still the plastic on the rear cavity cover. Specs: SRFF5 for Fanned 5pc Jatoba/Bubinga neck 901.7mm/35.5" scale at 5th string, 64.0mm/34.0" scale at 1st string Ash body Rosewood fretboard Medium frets Mono-rail V bridge Bartolini® BH1 pickups Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band eq, w/Eq bypass switch (passive tone control on treble pot), & Mid frequency switch BKS Cosmo black hardware Part of the limited Bass Workshop. I'd love to just hang it on the wall as an ornament, as it's a lovely looking bass, but saving up for a house is more important. Not looking for any trades, pick-up from Marden, Kent, could even deliver within a 30 mile radius for free. Socially distanced of course.

    John sold me one of his varitone style controls, I'm yet to fit it, but it looks quality and no doubt will sound it too. Thanks.

    Fender options

    WarPig replied to T-Bay's topic in Bass Guitars

    Cheap, but slightly divisive option could be stick on blocks? Great taste in colour and neck combo.
