LAST PRICE DROP £500+£15 UK Shipping (Gassing after another Bass on here) Up for sale or trade is my beloved Fender Jazz Modern Player V 5 string bass. £575 + £15 for insured shipping to U.K. only. Overseas can contact me but I think postage cost will be high and thus prohibitive. This is a lot of Bass for the money!!!!!! Only reason for letting go, which is reluctantly, is that my wee small hands have found it less easy to fly around the neck, so going back to two 4 strings, one tuned down, short scale too, so trade wise would be looking a Fender Mustang, possibly the new one with the PJ pick up configuration, alternatively a Pawn Shop Mustang, Squier Mikey Way Mustang, Squier Chris Aiken or possibly a Squier Classic Vibe 70's Bass, or any Fender 4 string, preferably a Precision. Some of the aforementioned models would require cash supplements either way. ONLY INTERESTED IN FENDERS FOR TRADE. The Modern Player is in superb condition, never gigged. Have a Hard Case for it (Generic, Non Fender). This Bass has so much variety of tone to dial in from it's 4-way selector alone, it's, imo, a Precision and a Jazz in one. Don't be fooled by the Made in China bit, this is superbly built and is as good as any Japanese model I've played, is very similar in finish to MIJ models. Here's some specs from the web. [b] Here's what Fender say about the Modern Player Jazz Bass Satin V[/b] [color=#231F20][size=4]The Modern Player Jazz Bass returns in a fivestring model with a new look and even greater tonal versatility from its powerful pair of humbucking pickups. A satin finish imparts a smoothly elegant air, and a convenient new four position rotary pickup selector switch delivers a potent quartet of pickup combinations (full middle and bridge pickups, full middle pickup and bridge pickup outer coil, full bridge pickup and middle pickup outer coil, outer coil of both pickups). Other features include an alder body, maple neck with "C"-shaped profile, 9.5"-radius maple (Black model) or rosewood (Olympic White and Two-color Sunburst models) fingerboard with 20 jumbo frets and easy-access truss rod adjustment wheel, redesigned Modern Player Jazz Bass humbucking pickups, single-ply black pickguard and vintage-style black plastic control knobs (two volume and master tone), and five saddle Fender Hi-Mass bridge.

Think it's the sames as this http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/bas/18/Legacy/28/ABM-NEO-C115/ Neo combo with sica speakers, I have the 1x15 combo, seriously good value at this price, good luck with the sale, The GroovyPlucker

Up for grabs is my Markbass NY151. Super compact 15 inch Bass Cab, light as a feather, but loud as f**k. Only selling as I'm now going down a different road, just traded an Ashdown Combo on here, so sale only, unless you have an Ashdown NEO extension cab for trade. Stock pic, but is in good nick, only tried it out in the house but sounded awesome. Comes with what I believe to be a roqsolid cover, but is not an exact fit, but near enough. Actually bought this Cab from another fellow basschatter. Specs IMPEDENCE: 8 ohms SPEAKER SIZE: 1x15'' BASS PORT: rear TWEETER: piezo POWER HANDLING: 400W RMS (AES Standard) CROSSOVER FREQUENCY: 3.5 kHz FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 40Hz to 18KHz SENSITIVITY: 100 dB SPL WEIGHT: 37.3 lbs / 16.9 Kg WIDTH: 18.7”/ 47.5 cm HEIGHT: 18.3”/ 46.4 cm DEPTH: 18.9”/ 48 cm Will be an extra £15 to ship to U.K. only, more if in EU, unless you're local to Northern Ireland which is where I'm based.

Jeez, a cloud of GAS is obscuring my vision, can't see my bank balance, if only I had the monies I had last month, if I sell my Markbass NY151 I might come knocking, once I've wafted this GAS cloud of course......The GroovyPlucker.....

[quote name='jay-syncro' timestamp='1478388365' post='3168835'] Hi, it sounds like an Ashdown should, i.e warm and meaty but without the excess weight of their previous combos. It features the classic Ashdown preamp mated to a class D poweramp with proper toroidal transformer and top end Sica driver. This means high performance and low weight. It was around £1k new so certainly not cheap, it's a bargain at £350! [/quote] It sure is a bargain, two weeks ago i'd have taken a punt, but currently am low(er) on the GAS paper igniter than afore, will keep an eye on, I see it's on the bay too, and will come back to you, cheers for the info......The GroovyPlucker

Hmmmm, tempting, having just bought a TC Elec 800w head and Markbass NY151 I now found a new idea. Is this Ashdown some kind of digital hybrid? sorry not up to date with their new stuff, I had an old ABM 1x15 combo years ago, love their warmth and grunt, and clarity which you can find with ashdown, is this in that territory or is that too much to ask at this price, also I see you can add an extension cab, very interested now, shouldn't be as I need to sell really before I buy, but....GAS, Cheers The GroovyPlucker

re courier.....I appreciate your concerns and many of us have had negative experiences with couriers, but choosing a larger, reputable company like Parcelforce, DHL, etc initially costs more but are better equipped when it comes to cover in the event of a problem. if I've had problems i've found these companies fix things quicker and more professionally than these small firms which just throw things over the fence (are you listening Yodel). Anyway, speaking as someone who uses and relies on couriers exclusively due to my location, I urge you to re-consider. Thorough packing usually ensures no problems with couriers, and now there are many sites that offer great prices from the top couriers, Parcel Hero is one, and no, I'm not on the payroll. If you can get past the grind of having to parcel up and a mountain of parcel tape you'll find a bigger business for your item guaranteed, The GroovyPlucker
