That's probably a reason why there are so few; anyone looking in the Jackson direction probably isn't looking for a traditional jazz 😉 This is a very good alternative for a j-deluxe version of a well known brand though. I like the playability and sound of this Jackson better than similar usa Fenders of that era that I've played.

Fender Bassman 135 Great classic Fender Bassman 135 full tube amplifier. It's a very good sounding head that has plenty of volume, which does a great job with bass or guitar. The serial number starts with F1 which apparently means it's from 1981. The head is in good condition, it has never let me down in the 2 years I've had it. There are Fender "special design" tubes fitted with no 023556. All functions work like they should, though a few pots may be a bit sketchy from not being turned frequently. There is some black "molten" stuff on the transformer behind the tubes. Not sure what that's about. It's truly a nice amp, but I am going to look for something different to try. Probably Ampeg as I already like simulations of some well known amps. Asking €850 The amp is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to pack well and ship at buyers risk. Potential UK buyers; please note that shippingcosts will be very high and you'll have to pay taxes etc on top.

I can't see a reason why to spank this little Squier. Looks like a very decent CV jazz👌

Same here. It has been my favorite album since I started listening to them (californication era). -

The Getaway is actually the first album since californication that I listen to regularly. It would have been nice if a follow-up would have been in kinda the same vibe. Though I guess we'll have to wait and listen first. -
Jackson JZB-2 Jackson jazz bass, made in the USA. They have been produced for only a short while, so there are not many around. The ash body has some nice grain to it, and the neck feels great with it's satin finish. Action goes low which makes it very comfortable to play. The preamp and pickups are EMG which combine nicely. It sounds full and balanced with a lot of tonal options using the preamp. The bass weighs in at 5kg, so it's not necessarily a light instrument. The condition is very good. It has a small damage to the paint near the neck. Otherwise it just has some minor usermarks. The frets are in good condition, as are the neck, hardware and electronics. More pics: The original hardcase is included. Two of the bottom studs have been broken off, but it's still functional with all latches intact. Asking €850 I am located in the Netherlands, but could ship at buyers risk.

Seems to be mostly original. Of course the logo isn't. The pickguard has also been replaced (incorrect white 1-ply). Earlier 70s didn't have a thick body finish yet, so might be an original feature. I think it's the original finish.

Thanks! It's a high quality bass indeed, which was pretty expensive at the time. I must have a German review from that era in my mailbox too The customs thing between UK and EU seems still to be a mess: I was brave enough to buy a bass from a UK based member here, knowing that I had to pay customs. It took about 3 weeks to arrive (pre Brexit would be around 3 days mostly) with unclear tracking and whereabouts. I was waiting for the digital customs bill, so I could pay and receive my bass....until DPD showed up at one morning with the bass. And I've never seen any customs bill, while labels on the parcel clearly show it has gone through inspection. So in the end it was kinda "okay-weird".
