[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1431943485' post='2776350'] This thread is useless without pics ... [/quote] You are right of course. Now done.

Am I asking too much for this? I am open to offers, and trades

Still here if anyone is interested

I have one of these. You are offering a real bargain IMO.

Natural finish. Good action. Chromes. Does have a few knocks, but nothing significant IMO Comes with the acclaimed Wizard Thumper P pickup, and Ultrajazz. VVT, instead of the usual blend. [attachment=192240:WP_20150518_0011.jpg][attachment=192241:WP_20150518_0021.jpg][attachment=192242:WP_20150518_0031.jpg][attachment=192243:WP_20150518_0041.jpg][attachment=192244:WP_20150518_0051.jpg][attachment=192245:WP_20150518_0061.jpg][attachment=192246:WP_20150518_0071.jpg][attachment=192247:WP_20150518_0081.jpg] I will consider trades. What you got?

Good luck with the sale, Dave. I know you take good care of your gear. Hope to see you at the jam soon. Mark

Now withdrawn from sale.

A pair of MEC pickups. Neck and bridge. £50 the pair posted Removed from a knackered Warwick Rockbass I will also chuck in the active circuit, as an extra (not part of the sale as I am unsure if it is working) From what I can tell these pickups cost over £90 each new [attachment=190866:MEC 1.jpg] [attachment=190867:MEC 2.jpg] Would also trade for a pair of passive soapbar pups. Anyone got some?

I will bump this today, just to add that an original hard case is included, and that the bass in strung with Elites. Not that bothered if it sells or not, as it is such a nice player. No dead spots anywhere. As I said previously, it is a rarity, but I would prefer a traditional Jazz style bass. Action E string @ 12: 3/32 string @ 24: 5/32 G string @ 12: 2/32 G string @ 24: 4/32 This is actually higher than when I had it set up by a local luthier with flats.

Here is something a little unusual. A Merica neck thru bass dating back about 15 years or so. I have had a search and found none for sale. Originally, this was an active bass, but more of a battery boost system, than an actual circuit. It failed years back, and I always used it in passive mode anyway. As a result there are two open pot/switch holes on the body. It might bother some. It does not bother me. I removed the original unbranded (and heavy) soapbar pickups, and fitted some Entwistle JBX pickups. Obviously, they occupy a rout somewhat larger than the Entwistles, but they work nicely. I still have the original pickups. And the truss rod cover. I cannot say for sure what woods make up this instrument. It has taken a few knocks, as one might expect for a bass of this vintage How does it play? Very nicely. I have it set up with a medium action, but it can get appreciably lower. The neck is not what one might describe as Ibanez super-slim, but I find it very comfortable. It is a good player. I can take some more photos if anyone wishes. The reason for the sale is simply that I want a more traditional-looking bass. Something more traditional jazz-like. So, yes I would accept a suitable trade.

Very nice too. Looks a bargain to me.

[quote name='Raslee' timestamp='1426869658' post='2722976'] I've got the 2x10" combo and the Contour 15" extension cab, awesome rig...but then of course it would be it's GENZ BENZ...can't believe this one hasn't been snapped up- they're simply bloody marvellous and by far the best combo I've owned (ie Markbass, TC Electronics & Ashdown ) [/quote] I have exactly the same rig, except my 15" ext cab is a Focus. People are missing a trick here.

It is too cheap. A lot of people do not realise that the head is fully-enclosed, and can form the basis of a light-weight seperates rig. That's the reason I am keeeping mine.

Damn you to Hell! Why now, when I have no money? Good luck with the sale.

Totally gorgeous. Lovely sunburst.
