You have a PM and a buyer sir! Col

Where are you based - my son might be interested in this.

Nowhere near enough info here to tempt anybody :-(

I think it's an ergonomic thing. I've got a BO 4 thumb which looks, sounds and plays fab but is soooooo different in 'position' to my fenders due to the short top horn. I think if you only play one bass all the time - these are great, but if you have a bit of a stable going, it puts you out of your comfort zone gigging with a thumb. That's my ha'penneth.

I've got a closet classic version of this in Burgundy Mist ala Guy Pratt - and it's just awesome! Free bump!

Very Roger Waters! Lovely - free bump!

These are Greeeeeeeat cabs!! Free bump!

Bargain - free bump!

Can you get it back??? [/quote] Bum . . . . bum . . . . . pooh bum and double drat . . . .

Oh Flanker - why do you tempt me so when I'm brassic - have lots to trade but not much that fits your wants other than your old Fretless Jazz! And just sold a bloody Jap PJ!

There doesn't seem to be much love for this so price drop bump to £400

Thanks Cameltoe!

A vintage Ibanez PJ means this baby has to go. She's an 'F' serial made in Japan Precision which dates her to 86/87 - model designation - PB - 5 5 7. When I bought her she'd been stripped and badly brush varnished. She's been refinished in Nitro Black by Andy Viccars, who also fitted the extra Jazz pickup . . . [url="http://www.andyviccarscustom.co.uk/"]http://www.andyviccarscustom.co.uk/[/url] . Be aware that nitro finishes are fragile, and the matte look on the back has been caused by constantly rubbing against my clothes during gigs. As you can see, she's got some dinks and buckle rash on the back - all superficial and inevitable on a nitro bass that's been gigged a lot. The mark on the neck is a scratch and not a crack - Andy's checked this out and confirmed it - it's been there since before I bought the bass - it's not caused any problems and I don't notice it when I'm playing it. There's plenty of use left in the frets and no problems with the truss rod. It was fitted with a BA II bridge for a while, and the marks left by this are visible around the original bridge if you look closely. The controls are . . . Front knob - pickup pan Middle Knob - volume Back knob - tone All the hardware is original except the scratchplate and the strap pegs. It will come with normal non locking strap pegs. The Jazz Pickup is a Wizard 84 that's been overwound to help the volume match the 'P' pickup. The overwinding gives it a fairly 'dark' tone. It's strung with LaBella 110 flats. I'd be happy to string it with something else if you didn't like these strings. Looking for [s]£450[/s] now £400 inc case collection only from Milton Keynes, or Central London (Euston) for an extra £20. Now for the Pics . . . .

Where are you based?

These are great basses - free bump!

PM'd

I think you'll find the body is made of Elm. Doesn't naturally spring to mind as a tonewood - bu t I had the 5 string version - was awesome!
