Loving those inlays. GLWTS

For me the P sound is best in a band rather practicing. Not really sure why.

I take it you're an active fan? Flats and foam mute is more my thing so it's passive all the way for me.

Mine's the passive version so there's no need to worry about that on this bass. I actually prefer passive basses which is why I went for this model (that and the block/bound neck and super cool colour 😀).

For those who have enquired about shipping, I have a box that some of my own GAS arrived in a little while back (see last pic) so nobody needs to worry about it being damaged in transit (unless there's some sort of complete disaster for which insurance should cover). PM me to discuss courier etc. It's been a while since I sent anything this sort of size so I'm not really sure the best company to use.

GAS is a pain 😀

I've thought about this a lot and I've decided to let go of this fantastic bass. Excellent build quality, this will change your mind about anything bad you've heard about Mexican Fender basses. Best neck ever - super slim, action low and buzz free. Really nice sounding pickups. Not at all harsh even when wide open. Nice and light (8.5-9lbs by bathroom scales - ok, not super accurate but this def feels sub 9lb). Short run bass so quite unusual and a really nice colour. I'm a bit of a tort fanatic so I had a tort plate on it which I'll supply. Prefer local pickup in Brighton but I could box it up and send within UK. The only issue is a minor nick in the binding/lacquer between 2 and 3rd fret which I've tried to show in the pics. I'm selling because I don't like to take it on a gig for fear of putting another nick in it somewhere!

PM'd

Is the neck straight? Truss rod function as it should? Did you have it on a fender body? Cheers.

I've had this for four or five years now and initially it was my main gigging bass but lately I've been playing a Mexican bitsa bass as it's lighter and cheaper or one of my 5 string basses. I wouldn't say it has any bad points as it plays and sounds brilliant and it's only lacquer checking and some fairly minor scuffing and a bit of tarnish of the chrome that show its age. The neck is straight and it has plenty of life in the original frets. I can't speak for the originality of every single nut bolt and screw as I'm not the original owner however when I bought it, I had a luthier friend of mine check it over and he said it was all legit. Two reasons I'm thinking of selling i) I'm wanting to get an older jazz and so having some extra funds would be nice ii) I'm getting too old and skinny for a 10 pounder. I'd much prefer local pickup in Brighton UK but would consider shipping within the UK at a push but this has to be arranged and paid for by buyer. Not desperate to sell as it's probably earning more interest than money in the bank! Message me if you want more pics. Also, I'd trade for an older original jazz (nothing else), money your way. Here are some clips to hear what it sounds like. Same line, different volume/tone settings. Both pickups and tone on 10: Back pickup only, tone on 2: Front pickup, tone on 6:

Lovely bass. Are you visiting the south of England anytime soon?

Great price. Someone will get a bargain.
