Great! Incidentally, if you do decide to change the pickguard, you'll need a '62 reissue one - NOT the '75 reissue I mentioned!! The outer edge screwholes are in different places on the '62 and '75 versions you see.

Just drove to Edinburgh and the Shell Pink Jazz Bass has a new home! The bass was bought by John and he seems really pleased with it. John, it was really nice meeting you, and I hope you have loads of fun with the bass (hope your wife likes it also!)

Stockholm Syndrome, Haimesy and Stacker - messages sent to you guys.

I'm sure that could be arranged! I'll check how much delivery to Sweden would be when I get home and will drop you a PM with the details mate

Hi guys, I'm not interested in trades St the moment unfortunately, just looking for a straight sale.

Hey Loz, I'd put your salary to good use mate, I wouldn't squander it, honest!! Hahaha

Thanks mate! It sounds fantastic now, I'm really pleased with it, but as I've shelledout for anew bass to refinish, I really need to sell this one onto justify my expenditure! Hagaha

Well, I guess some of you may have seen the thread I posted regarding the Shell Pink refinish? It's literally like a thin skin Fender factory finish, and the bass sounds more "open and woody" than it did with the original thick nitro Fender finish on there. Here's a link to the thread detailing the refin: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165861-fender-usa-62-jazz-bass-refinish-at-home/page__fromsearch__1 So, why am I selling the bass? The reason is quite simple, I've bought another brand new USA '62 stack knob reissue, and I'm going to refinish this one is Surf Green! I'm looking for £900 delivered in the UK. Here's some pics of the bass, I live it, but I have to let if go unfortunately!!

Yeah, it's a great instrument. The neck wood and the fingerboard are really something special also

SOLD TO LOZBASS!!! XOkay, some of you may have seen the build thread for this fabulous bass, made by this Forum's own Wes Steed. If youve not seen the build thread (or if you want to have another look), here's a link: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/90374-steed-basses-build-thread/ The bass has a fabulously, chocolatey brown Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. This piece of timber is over 60 years old, and is the highly sought after Dalbergia Negra variety (the variety that Jimmy Coppolo charges a $1,000 upgrade for on his basses - yikes!!!!!) Anyhow, the bass is a cracker, with all the punch and grunt you'd expect from a classic P-Bass. The Instrument is lightly relic-ed and comes with a hard case also (as shown in the pics below). The specs are: Body - 2 piece lightweight alder (the instrument is light soothers no problem if you planned on using it on long gigs) Neck - lightly flamed maple with Dalbergia Negra Brazilian Risewood fingerboard Celluloid pickguard (custom made by Pickguardian in the USA) aluminium full shielding plate under the pickguard. Lollar P-Bass pickup Full nitrocellulose lacquer finish on body and neck. Thr body's Olympic White finish has no clear cost (like the very early 60's Fender finishes, do it's really vibrant. Vintage style CTS pots Switch rage vintage style output jack Bridge and pickup chrome cover plate "ashtrays" included also. I received this bass 4 weeks ago on Friday and, as I mentioned earlier, I'd much prefer that it was being used rather than simply sitting here a mty place looking, playing and sounding fantastic. Price is £900 delivered in the UK Any questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks fir looking guys, Kevin [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/4a6895e9.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/8116180a.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/52a24113.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/44c4118f.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/69db249a.jpg[/IMG]
