Have box so can now post. Probs around £20 within UK with Interparcel/UPS standard 2-day delivery but I would get an agreed quote first

In response to question regarding nut width > tape measure slightly askew but I reckon its 1.625"

Slight price tweak so its below £300 collected

Good condition, not a lot to say. You know what these loud beasties do. £290 posted within the UK. No collection due to social distancing.

Step away from the phone and noone gets hurt 🤣

Bump. As a deal, I would include the GruvGear Edge gigbag for £50 (it is literally unused, has never left my house and cost me ~£110). So that's £950 collected for the bass plus bag. https://gruvgear.com/products/gigblade-edge

I originally imported this last May. Kind of wish I had kept it given how my main band has progressed (from funk to country punk)! I guess my Orange TB does a similar if less sophisticated job 🤘

I loosened the truss rod a quarter turn for low tension TI flats and then back again for not-quite-as-low tension La Bella flats and had no problem whatsoever. FYI, I do not intend to take the neck off again as it raises the risk of me damaging the neck pocket. Hopefully my reputation on this site is good enough to support my truthfulness regarding the truss rod

I wish

Further disussion with the bass importer narrows this down to a 1984 JV

I dithered about hanging on to the bass (doesn't everyone need a P bass, allegedly?) and was close to pulling the trigger on this https://www.rebelrelic.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=18_45_135&product_id=1228

Having investigated the origins of the bass, including contact with the specialist Japanese Fender importer who sold this to the previous owner (himself a bass retailer) and consulting 21frets.com (the JV specialist), it seems this is a domestic (non-export) JV. These varied in terms of bridge types (grooved or not) and tuners (reverse or non-reverse), amongst others - much as US Fenders of yore used to have a mix and match approach towards pots, necks etc. I am fairly sure when I took the neck off to take the pics this morning that the neck had not been fully off before (given the 'adhesion' marks; it had been loosened to tweak the truss rod). Plus there is no degradation of the screws on the scratchplate so that has almost certainly never been taken off. What I can certainly say is its in amazing condition for a bass of this 36 y/o vintage, plays and sounds great and looks v cool!

Some daylight pictures, including neck pocket and thick rosewood board. I have also circled in red the main surface imperfections which you can see are minor.

Hi all, I took this recently in a trade but have not bonded with it, probably due to my love affair with my short scale, sub-8lb '71 Mustang. Its a Fender-only logo'd JV Precision from 1984 in gloss black with very dark (almost ebony-looking) rosewood board. Weighs 9.2 pounds and I have added La Bella light flats for slick old school thump. Its in pretty amazing condition for a bass of ~35 years vintage with no buckle rash, no significant dings (you have to look carefully to spot anything) and just light surface scratches on the scratchplate. Demo new basses in music shops would be chuffed to be in this condition! Pickup preferred from London (I am near Hammersmith) *edit* but can also post as have large enough box now. The bass did not come with a gigbag but we could negotiate something as I bought a GruvGear semi-rigid case specifically (cost £110) for it. Fairly rubbish photos attached due to dismal Mordor-like day but I can add some more if it ever brightens up!

Surely this would be a useful backup case for you @jazzyvee?

Sold pending

Might help to add weight. Beauty

Nice colour 😉 I thought @Silvia Bluejay had banned you from selling any surf/seafoam green basses!!!! GLWTS but at this price it will be gone in hours, at worst days

Bagsie the better silk set! PM incoming
