    [quote name='StraightSix' timestamp='1341582538' post='1721326'] If this is a sale you must provide a sale price - forum rules. [/quote] Yes I know that is true for a sale but there are other feeler posts on here that do not state one. Edit: the post I saw has been edited so I will conform. If I was to sell this I'd be looking for around £400 collected / meet . Someone pls inform me if this is wildly off-beam ?

    I'll get some pics then, but I honestly have no idea about price. Just wanted to gauge interest.
  4. Geek99

  5. Geek99

    I'm selling my japan 62 reissue jazz. It's a 93/94 Has been played by PantherAirsoft, Simon1964, flateric amongst others who all said nice things about it. Niceguyhomer tried it recently so may be able to give you an objective view Its got all its original parts except the tuners which a previous owner upgraded for reverse open backs which would have been fitted on a real 62. Has the copper strip for earthing, the copper plates under the pickups, the neck has aged nicely to a deep honey colour. It has all its stickers for serial number, "made in japan" etc I've extensively copper shielded it. Its very quiet in terms of noise but sounds like a jazz bass should It weighs 4.5kg which is 9.9lbs Changes:[list] [*]The tuners as stated above, by a previous owner [/list] [b]I will also include the quality fender gig bag it came with[/b] Quite the bargain for the price I'm asking pictures here: [url="http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/sale/00FF5B58-DDF6-4892-828D-F033BCF3E866-2844-0000030568C9A768_zps5be7938a.jpg"]http://i1149.photobu...zps5be7938a.jpg[/url] [url="http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/sale/FE1DDF8E-D178-469B-88E8-D9FA4A1FE032-2844-00000305A216100E_zps2d450fee.jpg"]http://i1149.photobu...zps2d450fee.jpg[/url] [url="http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/sale/67E2BC38-DB89-4899-9DE3-521FEB18BCB9-2844-0000030597452D1C_zps18cc9595.jpg"]http://i1149.photobu...zps18cc9595.jpg[/url] [url="http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/sale/746B9163-BDD3-41AF-83B6-AAE7BF79EBEB-2844-000003058DC4659D_zpsd28532ee.jpg"]http://i1149.photobu...zpsd28532ee.jpg[/url] [url="http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/sale/D1132707-1630-4E3F-9768-2580846071DF-2844-0000030584B03921_zps5e39ae1c.jpg"]http://i1149.photobu...zps5e39ae1c.jpg[/url] [url="http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/sale/48AB9BA6-AF59-4FCC-84D8-DCAFC72F75A3-2844-000003057BBAB727_zps4f54e6d4.jpg"]http://i1149.photobu...zps4f54e6d4.jpg[/url] [url="http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/sale/4B8A21DE-00C3-451B-9BE3-502E07EF9280-2844-00000305737AC382_zpsa6ea9262.jpg"]http://i1149.photobu...zpsa6ea9262.jpg[/url] NO TRADES PLEASE (unless you're local and have a nice sunburst highway one p bass with (preferably) maple neck, or ditto jap "70s" p bass ) Cosmetic issues: its an old bass. Someone before me dropped it on its lower rear edge and then painted over it. Its not noticeable more than 3ft away (see pictures). I showed this to niceguyhomer who said it was nothing to be concerned about Apart from that, I cant think of anything wrong given its age. Very minor dinks here and there as you'd expect on a 20 plus year old instrument. I'd much [b]prefer [/b]to meet/arange collection/deliver locally rather than trust a courier. I'm in the east midlands near J28 M1. If shipped its about £20 or so by 24 hour signed-for courier, fully insured, which I will do at cost. It will be shipped with the neck taken off (and packaged separately) in a big box as I dont have a hard case. Neck is arrow straight and has new strings 40 - 100 - it came set up for these and I've never altered it - there was no need. I've checked the neck relief and its a textbook (see fender website) 0.30mm at the eighth fret (with first and last frets held), and there is clearly travel left in the truss rod. The action is down to a textbook 2.8mm on low E and 2.4mm on high G (measured at the 17th). Action at the 12th is around 2mm according to my ruler

    [quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1341484390' post='1719734'] That is lovely. I have a Jap 62 Jazz bass. Ordered from Japan, arrived in 3 days!! The necks are easily better than the American models. A real cracker you have there. [/quote] I have the same one from 1993 - its simply brilliant.

    [quote name='Joel McIver' timestamp='1341402432' post='1718316'] >[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]how about looking at second hand instruments and giving three or so staff members a set budget to find the best instrument they can within certain criteria and then have a mini group test? [/font][/color] [/quote] 1. Like on top gear - good idea. 2. Can we have something like beginners corner ? We're not all Dave Marks. 3. more < £500 kit please - 4. I did enjoy reading Stu Hamms columns though. 5. When you do an offer to new readers - please give some thought to offering to to lapsed subscribers? - its what made me cancel my sub last time. 6. Any news on EPlatforms such as the iphone ? thanks apols for the brevity - am at work

    I once saw Girlsschool play - they had a /very/ petite redhead lady playing a precision that looked huge on her. She coped fine.
  10. Geek99
    It c for me, but I am trying to do better
  11. Geek99
    As someone who has no free time and a toddler (may be some correlation) I am both happy for you and deeply jealous at the same time Enjoy

    [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1341007779' post='1712911'] Hey, she was a bit of a looker when she was young. I mean, turning the tables for a moment, if you were a woman, would you fancy, say, BB King as he is now? But he's still a legend. [/quote] I agree, carol was hot with a capital "ouch" back then
  13. Geek99
    Very pretty but sadly I can't justify another jazz bass
  14. Geek99
    Interesting - Did you state a price ? Perhaps I overlooked it Nope, being dumb , ignore me.
  15. Geek99
    might be interested in the P bass pickups - will await photo being posted?
  16. Geek99
    it may be worth listing it on ebay - they do go for good money.
  17. Geek99
    I have a copy going spare - anyone want it next ? Please speak up before my other half assumes its unwanted clutter and whisks it off to the charity shop.
  18. Geek99
    Wonderful thanks - will have to use proper pc tho Can't see profile pics on iPhone except very tiny anyway - does it have a black guard ?
  19. Geek99
    Well you see, I fought the law and the law won
  20. Geek99
    Nope sorry chaPs, the Bass (colours) Act 1978 says in section 1.1 that all precision basses must be sunburst in colour. Nothing I can do, it's the law
  21. Geek99
    Sorry, but it does I have a jap sunburst jazz. If I do relic it, that will be handy though so thanks for posting
  22. Geek99
    Thank you all for the help
  23. Geek99
    Thanks a lot I have seen a lot of black plates, was that an option then ? Was yours red or brown tort btw?
  24. Geek99
    I'd like to build a rePlica as I'm unlikely ever to buy the real thing. Can you please tell me if What colour the scratch plate is supposed to be as standard ? Is the sunburst two or three tone ? Where the tugbar is (I think below) What's on the neck plate ? Thanks to musky I know what the logo looks like. Thanks
  25. Geek99
    Very pretty
