  1. These are very nice indeed. I've played quite a bunch of mustangs, and these JMJ's are consistently good. Better than vintera or Japanese models I've played. It looks like a former owner has fitted other tuners at one point, which caused damage. I can't see why someone would swap the tuners on these basses. They are very decent quality...
  2. For sale is my Fender Mustang Special guitar, made in Japan. This guitar is of a very good build quality with a tight fit and finish. Playability is great The guitar is in very good condition. It has some small damages and usermarks, but nothing serious. It has a fresh overall appearance. The neck is straight and the frets show little wear. All hardware and electronics work like they should. The former owner changed the bridge to a high quality brass one, and also changed the knobs (original knobs still present). Asking €850 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk. Payment in advance only (cash on collection, banktransfer or PayPal friends).
  3. For sale is my black JMJ Mustang bass. The bass has been played and has some extra usermarks on top of the factory ones. The neck has finish checking, which you don’t feel when playing. Also some damages near the tuners on the headstock. These basses are solid quality with a good fit and finish (tight neckpocket). Playability is very good and some nice range of sounds are available. All hardware and electronics work like they should. The neck is straight with a good functioning truss rod. It has been set-up with elixir strings €900 Tradewise I am interested in a Music Man Stingray. Preferably one with the mutes on the bridge, lacquered neck and maple fretboard. Ive got more basses for sale/trade.
  4. You could check if the soldering is done okay. Get a small piece of metal wire and hold it at the wire of the pickup and the other end to the lip of the pot where it is supposed to be, when plugged in. See if the signal gets better.
  5. This is a Bassstar SP24 model, the fretboard material is phenolic. These are very comfortable basses. I own one with a natural koa body and Bartolini pickups. Glwts
  6. Fender Jazz Bass 1970 For sale is my sunburst Fender Jazz Bass from late 1970. The pots date back to week 51, and the neck pickup dates back to 1970 too Otherwise there are no readable stamps that say anything, but it’s all consistent with 1970. The bass is in good condition considering its age. It has a few small damages and finish checking all over. But nothing significant. The only thing worth mentioning is that the last few frets have been levelled lower to compensate for a bit of ski-jump (like many of those oldies). The bass plays great with a medium low action. Soundwise it’s one of the best jazzes I’ve ever owned. It sounds warm and clear with some nice growl with both pickups on, but also does the bridge pickup snarl perfectly with the tone knob closed. Included are the original Fender branded Hagström case (very rare), the original manual, and the original purchase invoice from January 1971! With the chrome covers and thumb rest mounted, the bass weighs in at 4,4kg on my kitchen scale. The bass has been set-up with fantastic La Bella LTF flats at the moment of sale. Lowered asking price €4800 Partial trade is negotiable. Per example; stingray w/ lacquered neck (80s or early 90s), 5 string with narrower spacing, stratocaster or offset guitar.... The bass is located in the Netherlands. Pickup is preferred, but I can ship at buyers risk
  7. I'm totally with you. I don't mind a decent refinish. I'd happily live with that '62, it looks awesome. Your '70 as pictured above has a very satisfying shade of blue combined with the tort.

  9. Peavey Rudy Sarzo signature Fantastic top of the line Peavey, made in USA. Apparently it's from 1990. These aren't offered very often. This instrument has many high end features as a neck through construction, ebony fretboard, fancy inlays and high quality hardware. The bass can be played passive or active (3eq) and sounds great either way. The two pickups are humbuckers, and I feel it gets into Musicman territory. The response is pretty quick, which reminds me of my Modulus basses. Playability is Awesome. The action can be set very low on this one, which probably helps in providing the quick response of the notes. Play-wise it's pretty much like my Modulus Flea, though the neck on the Peavey is just a bit fuller feeling. The condition is pretty good for its age, with no serious damages to be found. All hardware and electronics work. The treble knob runs stiff, but works. The neck is straight, the truss rod works well, the frets are still good to go. Included is the original hardcase and documentation. Fixed price €1.150 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.
  10. Nothing wrong with a good refret!
  11. Fender Mustang Bass 1970 For sale is my great vintage ’70 Mustang Bass in a sought after competition red finish with matching headstock. The bass is all original as far as I can tell, and is fitted with an uncommon pinkish pearl pickguard (as sometimes found on instruments from this era). The serial number says it’s from 1970, which seems consistent with the matching headstock. The pots date back to week 51 of 1970. I don’t have a picture of the pickup bottoms; the pickguard is partly stuck to the body, and I don’t want to force things when taking it off. The solder joints are untouched. This bass has been used, and it has small damages and usermarks all around. Nothing serious though, it’s in a very good vintage condition considering the age. All hardware and electronics are functional. Two of the tuners are a bit stiff and might need some lubrication. The neck is straight, adjustable, and the frets are in good condition. I’ve added an angled shim to get the action lower while retaining a good breaking angle. It’s a comfortable playing bass. For the sale, the bass will be fitted with a set of Ernie ball flats. Included is the original "salt ’n pepper" Victoria hardcase. Asking €4.950 Partial trades are welcome. I am mainly interested in a 5er with narrower stringspacing (ideally a Stingray with maple fretboard and lacquered neck (like early ’90s) but will consider others too. Otherwise, surprise me; basses, guitars, effects pedals.. The only 1-1+ trade I'll consider is for a refin 60s (pre-cbs) jazz with additional payment in gear from my side. I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk. Upfront payment methods are the only ones accepted; cash on collection, banktransfer or PayPal as a gift.
  12. Mr. Black Fwonk Beta Great envelope filter, especially made for bass. The pedal works as it should. Some pots may be a bit sketchy due to little use. €160 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.
