  1. I've had some great sounding basses that have been boat anchors (70s jazz bass was the main culprit...probably about 12-13 pounds). It was such a nightmare to be charging around with that bass on it always remained on the guitar stand. I also sing so it was a claustrophobic pain in the neck. So as a rule, I always check weight. Under 10lbs is my preference.
  2. This bass is *SOLD*
  3. Sat morning bump and a... ...NEW PART-EX ALERT Would part ex for a good condition Orange Bass Terror or Tonehammer head plus cash my way.
  4. Weight bump for my J that needs a new home. 4 kilos aka 8,8 pounds. Light, well balanced, and very lovely sounding And note the tight neck pocket! [url="http://s1359.photobucket.com/user/cairobill/media/IMG_3868_zpseurk9hls.jpg.html"][/url]
  5. Yes - I realised as I was posting that I never buy new so I deleted my comment [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1442831977' post='2869738'] Re: resale - I think any bass you buy used - provided you pay the going rate - will hold its value. That's not specific to Fender. Of course when it becomes vintage, the game changes entirely. [/quote]
  6. Sunday morning bump for this 1975 American Vintage Reissue with pearl blocks instead of black.
  7. Saturday morning bump for a very nice FSR jazz
  8. Indeed. This is a good one too. Sounds big.
  9. Tuesday eve bump for a very nice jazz bass
  10. Pretty much looking for a sale I'm afraid... Cheers, Nick
  11. ***...NEW PART EX ALERT Would part ex for a good condition Orange Bass Terror or Tonehammer head plus cash my way. *** This is a great bass that took a long time to track down but I will be sticking with my stingray live so it's on the block. This is a Factory Special Run of about 300 made by Fender USA in 2013. It is the 1975 model with PEARL blocks instead of black and a 'Aged Natural Finish'. Also, unlike the new 1974 Reissue, it has the brilliant micro tilt which enables a featherlight action on this bass. Weight is good at 8,8 pounds (4kilos on the nose) and the neck profile is narrow but with enough heft to sit happily in the hand. Tone is thick, deep and thuddy for a jazz. Comes with case candy and v nice G&G case. Balance is perfect. It's a lovely 70s style jazz bass but I have to man up and move it on! Would rather viewing and pick up in Kent or meet in London but will ship if necessary. Condition is very good with some light pick guard swirling and the odd superficial mark here and there. The bass is in good nick, never gigged. I have installed my usual Schaller strap locks but have the originals.

  12. This is a great bass that took a long time to track down but I will be sticking with my stingray live so it's on the block. This is a Factory Special Run of about 300 made by Fender USA for the Yamano distributor in Japan. It is the 1975 model with PEARL blocks instead of black and a 'Aged Natural Finish'. Also, unlike the new 1974 Reissue, it has the brilliant micro tilt which enables a featherlight action on this bass. Weight is good at about 9 lbs and the neck profile is narrow but with enough heft to sit happily in the hand. Tone is thick, deep and thuddy for a jazz. Comes with case candy and v nice G&G case. Balance is perfect. It's a perfect 70s jazz bass but I have to man up and move it on! Would rather viewing and pick up in Kent or meet in London but will ship if necessary. Condition is very good with some light pick guard swirling. The bass is pretty much as new. Never gigged.

  13. withdrawn...
  14. The three bolt system is brilliant. in my experience. I have a 75RI that plays ridiculously well with the neck angle tweaked *just so*. It's also the biggest sounding/thumpy jazz I've ever owned so I'm not sure about the criticisms re: neck to pocket contact and tone etc Sounds great and plays great.
  15. Bank holiday ferrari red shred style bump
  16. Bank holiday bump for a very nice strat. As new apart from a single ding on the front. never gigged or rehearsed.
  17. Beautiful bass! Also, it's interesting how the great, sadly now late, Louis Johnson, so synonymous with the Stingray, chose to play the Sabre in later life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=echg0Gek9QA
  18. Very interesting - I'm looking seriously at the 4003s - what's the neck profile like? Weight?
  19. I played one of these years ago. Very cool instruments. I could do with one right now actually!
  20. Another guitar on the block, a Ferrari red Charvel San Dimas. This is the Made in Japan version (not the Mexi). A great quality axe with hot Seymour Duncan pickups (JB in the bridge position), Floyd Rose, rolled fingerboard edges. Good condition No case - pickup/meet up preferred in Kent or London.
  21. Learn this tune. It will become a feather in your cap and soon you'll be able to crow about it.
  22. Here's the chord chart...best place to start http://overdrive.music.free.fr/audio/Tab/TabBasse/Chicken.jpg
