Save petrol.... come over & collect it on your pushbike! It's a cracking bass kristo - I'm just not using it since I got it....

For Sale Only. Fender Short Scale Jazz Bass. NEAR MINT I bought this from this very forum a while back - but it's not getting used, as I find the shift between 34" scale, DB and 30" scale a bit tricky Despite there still being an ad somewhere on the net - these are no longer available, they haven't been available for some time, and are not often seen (particularly here in the UK) Made in China, in the same factory as the Classic Vibe and Matt Freeman basses, this bass is a great quality build, and a lovely player, with a great sound from its' P/J pickups It's in absolutely great condition (there's a tiny teeny scratch on it - I forget where, but you can hardly see it). The finish is actually metallic red, but that's hard to photograph - It's got a nice sparkle to it You could hang this bass up in a shop - it looks brand new. I have rarely played it since buying it Collection only please (South Wales) or I could meet somewhere to hand it over (I've got headphones + battery amp for you to test it) You rarely see these basses - so please don't start posting copies of the on-line adverts - they are NOT in stock, and haven't been for several years (the last import quota was never even met, apparently) Comes with a Ritter Junior gigbag, which fits it nicely No trades please - I'm trying to thin the herd I'm only asking what I paid for it, and have seen these advertised for as much as 600 on eBay, or the same money, in not such great condition

Plus a Squier JV Precision, for when I just want a P bass..... and because I just fancy one anyway! Hence the thinning of the herd. All these years, and I've got 1 out of my GAS 3.... ha ha

Funny enough - it was Norman's Rhythm Stick that made me get this converted. I always liked the look of it I got myself a Limelight P/J, and if I hadn't got that, I'd be keeping this one. I really can't justify having both... GAS, damned GAS Re the Jazz - I had a Roadworn Jazz, and in a futile attempt to thin the herd, I traded the RW Jazz.... and I have regretted letting it go it ever since. I suppose sometimes you really just don't appreciate what you have till it's gone, or you learn a lesson by going full circle? The only other thought I have, is to sell the Limelight.... but I love that bass too Re Dave Dearnaley - I've seen several of his custom built guitars, and they have all been absolutely amazing Yes, his hand-built guitars are beautiful. Chequered binding, lovely pearl inlays, beautifully grained woods, top quality construction Top craftsmanship, from a guy who really knows his stuff.

The Jazz I was after has sadly gone. So I'm just adding the possibility of a trade, for a Fender Roadworn Jazz - obviously with cash your way, for anyone wanting a less expensive Jazz and some cash

The Jazz I fancied has gone. So I'm adding another potential trade to this bass I'm after a Fender Roadworn Jazz, in Fiesta Red - if anyone fancies a swap

These NS Design EUB's really are great. Several steps up from a Stagg. Great build quality and very playable A great solution if you need to double up, playing upright and BG. And Burns Bass is a great guy to deal with, buy in confidence fellow BC members

Someone please buy this bass - so I can stop looking at it, and thinking "hmmmm, what if......?"

That's a cracking looking Jazz Mr Bassfan I particularly like the block inlays on the neck I've actually got a set of the stick-on ones, which I was also thinking of using on this white Jazz of mine I've used the stick on block "inlays" before, and they're not bad you know Of course, you can't beat the real thing, and with the bound edges too..... mmmm

I had thought about that too. But as I say above - I don't normally like white scratchplates However, on this bass it does look nice - it's got a classy look to it IMO But you're right bassfan, Off-white Pearloid would look nice too. Mustn't buy any more accessories for it - I want to sell lol

I gigged this bass on Saturday night, and it sounded amazing. The drummer and singer/ guitarist had both said it sounded sweet... I'm now considering whether or not I should really sell this beauty - I'm tempted to withdraw, as it sounds great and is so comfortable to play, and so lightweight... Hmm, what to do?

Thanks for that mate. Yes, it's fab, and in stunning condition. I still can't decide on the white scratchplate or the tort one.

Thanks for that helpful info Daveyboy, and for your kind words too good sir Edit: I hadn't realised this was a B profile. It's nice, I must say. Not too skinny, not overly chunky - a great compromise, and as you say, the finish is so good - you'd never know it had been slimmed down

In my quest to reduce the number of basses I have, and to get my hands on my ultimate Jazz - I have very reluctantly decided to sell this fantastic Roadworn Precision. Friends will think I'm feeling unwell - it's a wrench - but needs must. As you can see, this bass has been converted to a P/J (done by pro luthier Dave Dearnaley of Cardiff). The bridge pickup is a superb Entwistle JBXN, and the neck pickup is from Mark Morgan-Richards - it's what he puts in his superb Limelight Precision basses, and it sounds fab. The electrics are also a kiogon loom - and was a cynch to fit, and as ever from kiogon, all components are of the highest quality Also, this bass had the neck slightly slimmed down by previous owner DaveyboyRooster's luthier. If you prefer the chunkier P bass necks, then this is probably not for you. It feels much more like a Jazz, but ever so slightly wider. It's the most comfortable P bass neck I ever played, with lovely silky smooth finish, and the depth, radius and width are very comfortable for me. I tend not to like necks that are wide and deep. I need to thin the herd, and a bass has come up that I really want. I really really want Also, I have a rather nice Limelight P/J and can't justify 2 P/J's - it's either this one or the Limelight, and I couldn't decide.... In the end, I opted to keep the Limelight, but there's not much in it, especially since I installed the Limelight pickup in this one. It's incredibly lightweight (around 3.6kg I think - I'll double check later) but it's the lightest 34" scale P bass I've ever picked up. Strung with Thomastik Flat wound strings, which are very low tension. I could put some rounds on it, if you prefer, but it's currently set up very well with low action and plays like a dream. Collection from near Cardiff - or I could meet up somewhere, and have a battery amp and headphones for testing. I'd prefer not to deliver, and want to make sure you're 100% happy anyway (why wouldn't you be? lol) Comes with a well padded gigbag, or for the right offer, you can have a really nice roadworn Fender (G&G) hard case. No trades please - I'm thinning the herd)

Price Drop: Now £400 In my eternal quest for the "perfect jazz", I'm selling this rather lovely (quite new) MIM Jazz bass, in near mint condition. I'm selling to make room & funds my next purchase... (aren't we all? lol) It looks a real beauty, in stunning condition (one teeny tiny ding I can see - but can't get my phone to focus on). I think this one is a very recent model (MX1793063636 serial number) and has a Pau Ferro fretboard, which I like the look of. The last owner never gigged it, and didn't seem to play it much as far as I can see. The strings still sound brand new. Weight is around 4.3kg (I'll get an accurate weight soon) Normally, I'm not fussed on white scratchplates - so I bought a Tort one which was listed as being suitable to fit a MIM Jazz - all the screw holes seem to line up perfectly. On this bass, I think the white scratchplate looks rather nice, and quite classy - so I decided to leave it there. You can have the tort one if you prefer - I'll even chuck both in, so you can dither and ponder about swapping them yourself I'm now throwing in a choice of either a Fender Red badge shaped hard case, or an old Roadworn brown G&G Fender bass case (I believe this was from an AVRI) No trades please. Collection from near Cardiff. Or we could possibly arrange to meet up - I hate posting basses, and would much prefer you tried it. I've got a vox battery headphone amp, and a Roland Micro bass amp to test without mains, if we meet at motorway services EDIT: Tea provided at my place, when you come to test drive.
