Ibanez black eagle 1977 Rare original Ibanez black eagle from the '70s. These basses are mainly known for being used by Krist Novoselic from Nirvana. It's truly a great take on the classic jazz bass. Not only because it's looks (which is a matter of taste of course), but soundwise it delivers a bit more mids than most jazzes do. Probably because of the mahogany body. I've used this bass live with La Bella flats fitted as an all rounder for my former pop/rock band, and used this with both pickups engaged or one of them solood, it sounds solid in all settings. Playability is very good; low action without rattling is possible. There is some fret wear, but is doesn't affect playability. The bass is in very good condition considering it's age. All hardware and electronics work like they should. There is a repaired little crack at the F hole (which most have, if still complete), and otherwise just a bunch of small usermarks and scratches. It's a 5kg heavy piece of awesomeness, so might not be for everyone. I personally think it balances nicely with a decent strap, and didn't mind playing it for an hour or two. For the sale a set of rounds will be fitted, as I'll keep the flats. It's a reluctant sale this one, but something has to shift. There is no interest in my Ric, so I might keep that one and sell a Jazz type bass instead (I have 4). €1.850 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

Yamaha BB800 Lovely early Yamaha BB from 1977, made in Japan. The pickup has been replaced with an OBL, but the original pickup is included. Some minor routing has been done to the pickguard. This 45 year old bass has a lot of usermarks around, but is in good condition technically. All hardware and electronics work like they should. The neck is straight and adjustable. Weight is 4.3kg on my kitchen scale. For the sale the bass will be set up with rounds, as I'll keep the flats that are fitted now. The original hardcase in included. This case is in decent condition. It's a superb bass from a great era for Yamaha basses, but I don't play it much as the neck (43mm nut) isn't comfortable for me for sessions longer than 30 minutes. €775 I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk.

Fender classic '60s Jazzmaster lacquer Fantastic classic '60s Jazzmaster from 2015. The guitar features the American Vintage '65 pickups, nitro lacquer surf green finish, and a rosewood fretboard (instead of Pao Ferro that they come with nowadays). It's a great playing and sounding guitar. The guitar has some user marks/small damages but is in overall good condition. All electronics and hardware function like they should The original Jazzmaster hardcase is included, as well is some paperwork. Fixed price: €950 I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

I have two 65/66 jazzes. One has a July 65 neck fitted with padouk fretboard: it's a bit more orange and swirly than rosewood. Apparently Fender did this a few months in '65 as kind of an experiment.

Nothing wrong with a nice sunburst P! Great weight too. The fretboard could be padouk

Last call; €2.250

Big price drop to €2.400 cash!

Still looking for a nice trade, but good cash offers are welcome too.

I don't have it near me at the right moment, but enter "b25b dimensions" on Google and the first hit is a complete spec sheet.

My 66 jazz has a padouk fretboard. The neck is dated July 65, as apparently many of them are. This seems like rosewood indeed. Very nice bass.

Lowered to €2.600 cash

She's also for sale now!

I've sold a bass post brexit a while ago, and used ups and their customs declaration procedure. I assume the process for a straight sale and trade will be pretty much the same.

Fender '75 Precision Bass Cool Mocha precision from the '70s. The pickups are dated to 1975, the pots are dated 1974. It's a well playing and good sounding P bass. The neck is straight and adjustable, and allows low action. It's a pretty light instrument too, just a bit below 4kg! with covers unmounted. The neck is pretty small at the nut for a precision at 39/40mm As you can see, the bass has a lot of small damages and honest playwear. The tuners and pots have been replaced, but the original 1974 pots are included in the sale. The chrome covers and thumb rest are not original to this bass. Asking €2700 Ideally I'd offer this bass in a partial trade for a player grade <65 Fender Jazz with Brazil fretboard, max 4kg, and a refinish (as it keeps te value a lot lower). I've got more stuff to add in a trade! Otherwise I'd might be interested in (partial) trades for; old Music Man Sabre with rosewood fretboard, Modulus Flea in fancy finish. And maybe a nice vintage Mustang Bass. The bass is located in the Netherlands. Local pickup is preferred, but I am also happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. Payment wise I accept cash on collection or PayPal friends.
