Nice to see one at a normal price 🙂👍. Not so nice to see that it's not in the EU.

Bump with updated trade options.

Early 1966 Fender Jazz Bass Kind of a reluctant sale. But as my band quit, and with no foreseeable future band activities, I've decided to see if there is a reasonable interest in my Fender Jazz. First things first: the body (beautiful burst) originates from another bass from the same era that dates back to week 12 of 1966 (dating through potcodes), the rest of the bass dates to week 5 (week visible on the tone pot) of 1966. They are so close in dating that they practically could have been together when they left the factory. You wouldn't know if I didn't tell :). The neck is stamped december 1965. Pickups are original grey bottoms (undated). The body was swapped because of it's very low weight. As you can see there is a lot of playwear all around. The body has dents, checking and scratches everywhere, as well as parts of the lacquer worn away. All just honest playwear and no fake relic. There seems to be an old touch up of the lacquer on the lower horn. The neck has a great satin feel as the finish has worn away. It's also noticably thinner than a few other '65/'66 necks I've laid my hands on. Very comfy. I've had the neck refretted last year with correct vintage size frets. All hardware and electronica function like they should. The capacitor on the tonepot gives a nice middy sound instead of wool. That's especially great with the bridge pickup solood imo. Original pickup covers are present. The bridge cover has quite some oxidation on the inside. The bass is strung with a La Bella 43-104 set of flats. I'll include a good quality Fame hardcase. Like I said I have double feelings about selling this bass, as it's really a dream bass and is definitely the nicest old Fender I've played. But I'll be just playing at home mainly, for the next few years at least..... Asking €7.500 Partial trade concerning one or more instruments is negotiable. I am mainly interested in: Music Man Stingray with lacquered neck and maple fretboard (like early '90s), Modulus Flea, Fender Flea active, old Mustang Bass... Nice active 5/6 string with narrower stringspacing.. Maybe even an old Fender offset guit*r. Otherwise feel free to try me. I am located in the Netherlands. Local pickup is preferred, but I am happy to ship (to be arranged by me or the buyer) at buyers risk and expense. Please note that I will not travel to bring this bass to your country, and I will not send this to a any buyer without receiving a payment first.

I've played a few of these and they are just great. JV quality without a JV price tag. Glwts (not that you need any luck selling this 😉)

On hold

I'm not really looking for trades at the moment. Tnx

Ibanez SR1800 Premium Great high-end bass from the Soundgear Range. It is a very versatile bass which is suitable for all styles imo, with its preamp and 2 Nordstrand pickups. The bass can be played passive or active. I'd say the bass is in good condition overall. It has a few small damages but looks very fresh overall. The softcase is in very clean condition too. There is one little issue. The preamp has a 3-way mid frequency selector, of which only one position works. I assume replacing this switch will resolve this. Personally I didn't really care about it as the sound sculpting options are great as is. Plus the bass sounds great in passive mode too! Imo this is pretty much a boutique like production bass at an outstanding price point. Fixed price €795 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. As for trades I am mainly interested in a Music Man Stingray 4/5 with lacquered neck (like early '90s). Further a 70s/80s sabre with rosewood fretboard or Fender Flea active.. I've got 4 basses and other stuff up for sale, so could offer a combination of items for trade.

Price drop to €735

Greco PB-700 Super Real Precision Great precision copy from Greco. It's a top of the line PB-700 Super real series, made in march 1981 according to the serial number. This model seems to be loosely based on a late '50s precision with its 2-tone sunburst and metal (white though) pickguard. Further it has threaded saddles and reverse tuners. Also note the nicely rounded body curves. The neck has a 43mm nut width. As you can see, the bass has small damages and user marks all around. There is a more significant damage to the lacquer a the edge of the body at the top. Technically all is good; all hardware and electronics work like they should. The neck is straight and adjustable. The bass plays great with a low action, and has a powerful, clear yet full and growly rocksound with roundwound strings. But she sounds the deal with a set of flats too. It's truly one of the best sounding precisions I've played. In the pictures the bass is strung with flats, but will be sold with a set of rounds fitted. I'm selling this bass to fund another purchase. Besides that I can't play this bass comfortably for a longer time due to the nut width combined with an old wrist injury. €775 I am located in the Netherlands. Pickup is preferred, but I'm also willing to ship at buyers risk and expense. As for trades I am mainly interested in a Music Man Stingray 4/5 with lacquered neck (like early '90s). Further a 70s/80s sabre with rosewood fretboard or Fender Flea active.. I've got 4 basses and other stuff up for sale, so could offer a combination of items for trade.

What a beautiful woodwork. Very lovely 😍
