I think every one of us gets that sinking feeling every time a thread like this appears. So seeing as the scrotes got caught & the gear returned so quicky it would be awesome to know more.

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='1327979' date='Aug 4 2011, 11:06 PM']Ive owned and sent back to the stores more than a few times in the past 2 years. Ive played probably 8-10 American Standards (2008-) and about 2-3 were keepers. The rest had bad quality control that youd expect on a £200 starter bass.[/quote] Fair dos, I bought both my MIM & MIA from GAK in Brighton. Maybe it's where the good ones live?

    [quote name='MartyBRebelMC' post='1327948' date='Aug 4 2011, 10:47 PM']I think you are right about Fender though £1100 is way too much and given the fact you have to go through every bass in the shop in the hope of finding one that isn't serious flawed it's becoming a joke.[/quote] I've never played a Fender that is seriously flawed. I've had a MIM jazz, a MIA jazz & currently a Deluxe MIA P bass. I had the chance to play a fair few different ones when I bought my MIM & several years later the MIA. Both times some were noticeably not as good as others, but none were dogs at all. Where are all these awful Fenders people speak of on here??

    [quote name='dc2009' post='1325758' date='Aug 3 2011, 03:22 PM']Thanks for the warning, I have looked, it'll be a £40 hit (the max final value fee they can impose on this type of listing). I've also mentioned on the listing that if a recognised member buys it from me on here or talkbass i'd gladly make a donation of £20 to the site rather than pay evilbay.[/quote] You have to go through Paypal now as well don't you? So that would bump the fees up again?
  5. joe_bass
    Careful with ebay, have you used a calculator to work out roughly the fees? They are stupid now.

    [quote name='wal4string' post='1324834' date='Aug 2 2011, 08:39 PM']Nice bass. In my opinion Leo broke the mold with any instruments he designed. A bargain price too.[/quote] Cheers mate. I was never much of a P fan before, this one changed my mind though! Now on hold pending.

    Have you seen this mate? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=148883"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=148883[/url] *I'm not connected to the seller btw*

    Evening bump. Fair bit of interest outside of Bass Chat.

    [quote name='Chris2112' post='1324644' date='Aug 2 2011, 06:30 PM']What are the prices like? And does he do black hardware?[/quote] Those 3 on Ebay are around £2000 each. On his actual site he doesn't seem to give prices.

    [quote name='bobogib' post='1324584' date='Aug 2 2011, 05:39 PM']well he very politely said no. The search continues, have got my eye on a few others but am not in any rush to commit. Would rather bight right first time round. Thanks for the help guys.[/quote] Wonder what he has got in mind...
  11. joe_bass
    Very nice. That p/j on Ebay certainly is a looker. Are you in the market then & considering one of these?

    [quote name='TRBboy' post='1323553' date='Aug 1 2011, 09:15 PM']Mmmmmmm love the PJ! Never played, seen or heard of them before though so no use sorry![/quote] +1. Phwoar!! Not too keane on the headstock shape though. Any sound clips etc about?
  13. joe_bass
    Not much love then I presume.

    [quote name='Chris Attwell' post='1323547' date='Aug 1 2011, 09:08 PM']No this one was bought from Absolute music. I'm not sure if they had one in GAK.. As they were so rare they were distributed all round the country.[/quote] Ah, yeah they had one in GAK, I played it. Lovely bass & that wood looked even better in the flesh. So if yours in anything like...

    [quote name='Chadderz' post='1323301' date='Aug 1 2011, 05:26 PM']Interesting idea. I hadn't considered a fully custom job before. If I was to persue that avenue, which luthiers should I be looking at? And thanks for the replies guys, plenty of stuff already that I've never heard of![/quote] Deff check out Sadowsky. Just a thought but have you considered second hand? A lot more bang for your buck that way, but then harder to find what you're looking for if it's quite specific obviously!

    Bump
  17. joe_bass
    Fender Custom Shop perhaps?
  18. joe_bass
    Bought from GAK by any chance??

    [quote name='Prime_BASS' post='1323022' date='Aug 1 2011, 01:06 PM']You should keep this and try and find a Warwick enthusiast. £1000 silly price to let that go for.[/quote] +1 Seems a case of waiting for the right buyer. Have you tried the Warwick forums?

    I'd put money on countless bassists wanting this when it was viewable on the main page of warwick.de. Awesome that it belongs to a basschatter. Sign of the times that this hasn't gone yet.

    Recently noticed the updates Fender have made to the USA deluxe jazz since last year. When I was looking for a good J in Dec 2008 I overlooked the deluxe model they had out at the time. I'd played a couple & hadn't been too impressed with the preamp, I also thought the undersized body looked a bit off. However the new model: upgraded preamp, active/passive switch, blocks & binding, & the wine red finish in particular. Looks very nice! I had a quick search & see according to the gear porn thread a couple of members are owners. Was just wondering the overall opinion here though... I'm not in the market for one, just merely interested as no way would have overlooked these back when I was in the market for a jazz.

    Fender American Deluxe jazz or Fender USA Deluxe jazz? Theres no difference?

    [quote name='lucatus' post='1321761' date='Jul 30 2011, 09:51 PM']I have the 4 string version, same year I think, and it's my main instrument right now. Amazing! Good luck with the sale![/quote] Cheers! Is quite an instrument.
  24. joe_bass
    No active/passive switch. The bass is weighing in at about 8lbs on the scales. Thanks Joe

    Up for sale is a 2008 Fender American Deluxe Precision. The reason was originally going to be GAS related, but a few problems have come up the last couple of days & it now looks like I may have to shift a fair bit of gear to raise some funds... Anyway so up first is this beauty of a Deluxe Precision that I acquired recently from fellow basschatter reesource through a trade. It's a 2008 model in sunburst owned from new by the aforementioned BC'er. The model is the version with the split coil P pick up & double J humbucker at the bridge. It's strung through, 22 fret with scalloped heal & hipshot tuners. She plays beautifully & you can achieve a great range of tones thanks to the 18v preamp & it packs a lot of thump. The neck also feels very fast, which I'd never really attributed to a P bass before! Good condition except for a couple of dings on the body & some light surface damage on the back. These are only really noticeable on closer inspection though. Hopefully reesource doesn't mind me using his pics. The neck also has a couple of small dents (just about visible in the photo). Supplied along with the Fender moulded case, truss rod adjuster & leather strap & straplocks. SOLD[b][/b] Cheers Joe
