Just adding this as a possible addition to the deal. I'm also willing to throw in a rather nice K&K pickup & preamp. The K&K has both a Piezo pickup, plus a really nice microphone. The preamp allows control of the Piezo and the mic separately - so you can get the balance you want each time. (The mic usually sits just inside the f-hole, but I have just placed it on the outside so you can see it in the photo). The Gage Realist pickup which comes with this bass is really nice, of course - but I quite like having the option of choosing the K&K pickup, especially as the mic delivers such a nice, natural acoustic upright tone. Photos of preamp later. EDIT: So this now includes the stand and the K&K pickup + preamp - just making that clear. I might consider an offer, if you don't want the K&K......

Lovely looking Jazz. Great colour, and that neck looks gorgeous. Fender Japan basses always seem to be well made, and great players. Good job I don't need a Jazz bass GLWTS

Hope it's OK to post this here, as well as the Amps & Cabs F/S section - I'm only doing so, as this cab works really well with Acoustic Upright and EUB. These don't come up for sale very often, particularly in the UK. I swore I'd never sell this, but I have just bought an Acoustic Image "Double Shot" - so this is surplus to my needs. It's a lovely sounding cab, with a 1x10 driver, plus a Tweeter. Really loud for its' size, and really compact and light (around 11kg if my memory serves me). It's in great condition, including the felt covering - I always store and transport it with the cover on (which is also in good condition). I have gigged this quite a bit, and it has served me really well. It suits so many scenarios / genres / venues. I've used it as an additional cab to my main cab in a 5 piece rock band, I've used it on its' own in smaller and medium sized venues and folk clubs, I've used it as an onstage monitor in larger venues, and I've used it quite a lot with upright as well as bass guitar - and it always sounds superb. Being completely upfront here - I replaced the main driver with a Celestion 8 ohm 300 watt speaker - this is capable of handling more than the original 250 watt speaker though. Plus, it still sounds absolutely great. NO TRADES PLEASE - If I didn't need to thin the collection, I'd be keeping this. I'm not keen on posting this - I've had courier issues recently. I'd prefer a meet-up or collection - you are welcome to come along for a cuppa and a listen to this superb sounding, compact, lightweight cab.

Really like the colour & finish on these. Not played one, but I gather they are rather good. GLWTS

It's not just you @AndyTravis lol Hmm - this does look interesting. Something very different indeed.

Just reiterating - I'm looking for a Fretless Jazz neck, either a Squier or Fender (Mex) and willing to consider trades against this - with cash added if necessary. I now need this out of the way - so I have dropped the price to £175 collected (or poss meet?) If it's not gone by Saturday - I may well donate it to a mate who has recently set up his own guitar / bass / music school.

Just wanted to point out - the £45 in the title of this thread isn't the price I think one of these is worth. I'm willing to add to that price.

Here's a photo showing the bass in its' soft gigbag - which then fits onto the hard case, for added padding / protection.

Some photos of the hard case....

I have one of these, in Fiesta Red. It's an absolutely awesome bass, and my favourite ever P bass. These are quality instruments, and feel lovely to play, with an awesome sound. GLWTS

It's a long shot, I know - but worth a try. As per title, I'm after a 3/4 Pirastro Perpetual E string. I have just become a fan of these strings, having bought an A,D & G from Ajbass on here. Price negotiable, depending on condition / usage. Thanks EDIT: Does anyone have anything similar, especially tension-wise, which might suit a set of Perpetuals?

Ah, sorry to hear this Dave. Would a uke bass be easier on your joints? As I'm typing this reply, I'm sat on the sofa, playing my MIM Mustang, and wondering why I don't play it more often. Could you try some lower tension strings on your Mustang? That may make playing it easier on the hands? I played a Squier CV Mustang in my local PMT a while back - it was a lovely bass. Shame to sell all your gear. I'd hate it if I had to give up completely... I don't know what I'd do without music.

Last bump for this bass for a while (I may withdraw it until sometime next year). I took this bass to a rehearsal studio the other night, and it sounded absolute killer! Especially at high volume - those EMG pickups sounded superb. Perhaps it's also down to the through neck construction? I don't know - it just sounded "huge" with an amazing low end. I'm only selling as I have my eye on something else, something very different, and I'm trying to stick to my one-in-one-out policy
