It's a nice musicman you've got there !!!

For people asking why I want to trade the JP and the BTB, it's very simple ... I don't need a 5 stringer at all (except for a graphite necked one where I can accept again it ) And as JP has left the Job now and I will not have anymore the chance to have a BTB custom 4, I think it's more suitable to trade than to try to replace them by the same new ones with only 4 strings.

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='412478' date='Feb 17 2009, 10:39 PM']I suspect that Wal's carry a myth factor too [/quote] Yes, but like many basses in general just for exemple : what is a sadowsky ? a warmoth with a sado preamp has the same sound as a real sado so ...? etc...

Do you like fender custom shop telecaster set neck Jr' ? (only 3 in the world ... made by john page as prototypes before lauching his own firm john page guitar ...)

MP ...

very nice one !

Pics added in first post for infos : 19 mm string spacing 34" scale on the JP . The Zia is coming in an "Aluminium" hardshell case ... travel will be secured like that ... (and the HC with newspapers around then in a big cardboard box... no risk like that !)

I just think that if someone wants that bass, he will not give a lot of money without knowing the value of this bass... So I think the buyer will have a lot of informations about it and will know in every aspect what he will do... So up to the buyer (and the seller) to find the good deal... not me and not a lot of people speaking out of interest about that bass ... In my opinion....

yeah sure, I forgot to paste it.... I can mention the price new for this one : JP Zia 5 : 3300 £ specifications : - Rare Highly Figured Walnut top on a spanish cedar body (with maple laminate insert in between) - Hipshot bridge - Custom JP bass pickups (made by Aaron Armstrong (Kent Armstrong's son) - John East BTB preamp (active / passive by push pull on volume ; 4 position knob fo neck / series / parallel / bridge ; bass ; mid ; treble with bright swith by pulling it) - Ebony knobs with "plain real silver" dots - Macassar Ebony fretboard - One piece wenge neck with specific 2 way truss road and "plain real silver" dots inlay on the side of the neck - Hipshot ultralite tuners - Secure neutrick jack lock That could give you an idea...

So here my JP basse Zia 5 walnut ... [url="http://cid-3e3944535eaeadd4.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/BTB%20-%20JP?authkey=b0ZciyuiHCE%24"]PICTURES[/url] JP basse Zia 5 walnut So I would like to trade it for high end 4 string basses in the same range of price (nice Jazz a plus actually / Sadowsky / Skjold / Celinder / etc...) Part exchange is possible. [EDIT : removed all post concerning the BTB]

Yeah !!! Who is the winner ?

[quote name='bassmasta2b' post='408373' date='Feb 13 2009, 12:07 PM']Yes of course is it because the £ is down now i can't give a decent price in euro for Uk buyer and for me , french seller .[/quote] Sure, but even with a PB trade, it's a bargain ! a PB worth less far away than the value of this bass !

Wow, I'm not a Jazz fan but this one is interesting I think my 2 5stringers have to go so...

So a bump could help, I think .... And another picture ...

Hi, Dieseonze, if you need a translator, I can help you... #11 , si tu as besoin d'un traducteur je peux t'aider ...

Yes, benny play also a MTD bass... and you see the complete list of his set [url="http://www.daveonbass.com/interviews/benny.htm"]HERE[/url] And he mainly uses the BTBs (1000 & 1005) on tour with Santana. During (for exemple, the santana tour "supernatural") you could see him with a BTB custom 4 string with transparent black finish... (on the DVD it's that way... and it's the same period of mine... 2003) for exemple [url="http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=5xLZT7GuK2s&feature=related"]HERE[/url] @ 0:35 you see benny with the black one ...

Hum ? no time to look for how paypal works in detail ?

Hi, Mike, knowing #11, he is also interested in a part exchange. #11 is in love with jazz bass, so you could go this way... Could be an idea ...

funny story....
