It's the original finish, not a refin. If dents occur, it doesn't necessarily mean that wood should be visible. There are small chips of paint missing which show no sign of refinish. In the cavities; no sign of refinish... Besides that it probably wouldn't make any sense to do an expensive CAR refinish on a relative cheap bass, and then also not straighten up the body first. These japanese basses are nice indeed. Atm I've got an old candy apple red Yamaha JB600R in transit. One of the few basses I've really regretted selling a long time ago. Plus it adds nicely to my other vintage Yamahas;) Thanks✌️

Ashdown perfect ten Nate Mendel combo. Nice combo with great looks and sound. I've bought it new and has used it just a few times since as I prefer my Roland cube that I can also use for guitar. The condition is good with a few minor damages to the tolex. Some pots may scratch a little due to little use. €135 + shipping. I am based in the Netherlands. Pickup is fine too of course.

Yamaha BB3000a Great old Yamaha BB3000a, made in Taiwan. These are high end basses of a very good build quality. I've also owned the Japanese version, and both are of the same quality level. As you can see from the pictures; this bass has a lot of cosmetical damages. And an extra hole has been added near the controls as formerly another preamp has been fitted. The playability of this bass is excellent (actually a bit better than the MIJ I owned). Low action is not a problem. Soundwise it's just great too, this bass sounds fantastic with either rounds or flats. Technically the bass is in good condition. All hardware and electronics work like they should. The neck is straight and adjustable, and the frets in reasonable condition. Like said, low action is not a problem, so it's a comfortable player. Due to the cosmetical issues, asking price is pretty low for such a bass. Asking €775 I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk.

When listing a bass in a higher (let's say 4 numbers) price range and you get this kind of message: "Hi I am ..... I am 12 years old and want to play bass. I think your bass is beautiful, but I cant afford it. I only have .... (=20% of asking) and a few sticky pieces of candy. Will you please sell it to me?"

Fender Jazz Bass USA 1981 Terrific '81/'78 ash/maple Jazz Bass. This one was originally sunburst but has been stripped down to natural, which looks just great. The serial number is an s8... Which runs from 1978 until the early '80s. The neck seems to have been dated 1978, but the stamp is a bit blurry. The pots and pickups are dated 1981. The body has the beautiful rounded curves that returned under Dan Smith in the early '80s. More pics: This is hands down the best playing and sounding ash/maple jazz I've laid my hands on. It has the pleasant deep and clear tone you want from such a bass. All hardware and electronics work like they should. The neck is straight and adjustable. The bass has some usermarks, but nothing special. She looks great. Another great feature is that she only weighs 4,3 kg. Which is not much for a ash bodied jazz from this era. The pickup covers and original hardcase are included in the sale. It has been set up with new elixir strings. Asking €2.500 I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk.

What a totally ridiculous price for a 1970 P in this condition. I doubt this one is for the collectors as they tend to go for as mint and complete as possible afaik.

Nice Japanese Tokai jazz bass from the early 80s. These basses are well known for being a good copy of the originals. The bass has a lot of usermarks, bucklerash and dents all over. The neck is straight and adjustable. The frets show wear, but action can be set pleasantly low without problems. The other hardware and electronics work like they should. Weight is about 4,05 kg (kitchen scale). Asking €695 I am located in the Netherlands but I am happy to ship at buyers risk.

Fender Am. Std. Precision Bass Good sounding and playing USA precision bass in Olympic white (which has yellowed nicely). The bass is technically good, but has some cosmetic flaws which explains the lower price. There is a big crack in the finish (not the wood) on the back of the body. Probably it has been in the sun too much, which could well be the case given it has discoloured to a yellow creamy colour. Otherwise there are a few smaller cracks and usermarks. As you can see on the pictures, the fretboard has a very, very nice grain to it. Playability is very good, it has been set up with a comfortable low action. The bass is strung with thomastik flats. The original case is included. The case has 2 cracks (repairable with glue?) but is very well usable. Asking €795 I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk. As for trades I am interested in; jmj mustang bass (black), Ampeg V4(b) or a decent 60s style jazz bass (roadworn fiesta red per example)
