Yes, it has this specific growly midrange of 70s spacing jazzes, and the slightly narrower nutwidth of first ones too - 1.475 instead of 1.5.

Almost forgot to mention the bass isn't on the heavy side: 9 lbs / 4,1 kg

I'm selling this nice japanese Vanzandt JBV, handmade in PGM factory with a beautiful 2-piece ash body. It's a faithful 70s jazz bass replica, except the full-nitro coat, Kluson-like tuning pegs, and 60s-like bridge. Cosmetically speaking, some minor dings due to the nitro-coat, and that's all. Perfect playing condition, with low action without fretbuzz, . Frets and trussrod have lots of life left, electronics works fine. Amazing tones, one of the thumpiest jazz-neck PU i've heard. Gnarly bridge pickup. This bass has these 70s jazz mids. Sounds even across the neck. Vanzandt pickups, CTS pots and Cornell-Dubilier replica cap. Comes with its VZ gig-bag. £ 1190 / 1350 euros shipped to your door in European countries - i live in France. Price dropped to £1150 / 1300 euros shipped to your door.

950 euros, shipped to your door in Europe. I'm not in the best position to say it really is a bargain, but seems like it's already done :-) It's a great P, and a great P/J too.

No worry, i didn't understand your post like this. Sorry if my quite-basic English sounds like i'd have misread it ! Btw, it was an interesting point. There were Navigator P/Js like mine in 1983. I first thought it was a custom order.

Thank you, these are great instruments indeed ! £880 / 1000 euros price drop bump.

Bump. Got everything to make the parcel's strong & the shipping safe.

Thanks, it's working well indeed. I dig its P thump, but the J is pretty useful for a tighter growl. As for Navigator PJs, you can download there some ESP catalogs: http://www.guitarscollector.com/esp-catalogs.html If you pick the 1983 ESP Export one, you'll find on page 9 a LPB PJ-120 which looks pretty similar to my bass.

I'm selling my 80s Navigator P/J, overall good condition hence its 30 years. Genuine LPB colour has nicely faded in OTM. Parchment pickguard - not that white in the flesh. As for specs: Gotoh GB-2 tuners P/J pickups set Veneer rosewood fingerboard One-piece (it seems) Sen body Medium-jumbo frets 8.8 lbs / 4 kg Everything is genuine and in good working condition. Trussrod's a bit stiff but is working well, with neck straight & low action. Currently strung with 45-105 fresh Rotosounds. A real joy to play with a C shaped neck, slightly narrower than old Precisions (42mm/1,65 inches width). Sounds just like a serious P should, with the added flexibility of the J. Many tones in this one. Comes with it's genuine leather-like gigbag.1050 euros / £930 shipped to your door in European countries. Price dropped : £740 / 850 euros now, shipped to your door.

Sweet bass, plus Greg is a top bloke to deal with ! Good luck with your sale my friend

Chouette hein :-) Thanks for your comments, it's a nicely yellowed beaut, and a cracking bass too.

I'm selling my all original late (december) 1978 Stingray. The bass is in great condition for a 40-year old instrument. Some chips on the coat of the ash body here and there, and that's all. Neck's straight, trussrod's stiff, but has a lot of life left assuming my luthier - just have a look to the bullet position. Low action without fretbuzz (2mm on 12th fret). Comfy C shaped neck, thin frets OK. Not-so-common weight for an old Stingray: 8.8lbs/4kg Great sounding bass, with dead silent electronics - preamp is the epoxy version - which provides this unique Stingray growl, but warmer tones too. Definitely more flexible than later Stingrays. £1920 / 2200 euros, comes with (non-original) case. I live near Paris and am happy to ship the bass in a strong parcel - shipping fees at buyer's expense.

;-)

On hold.

Thanks Greg, much appreciated ! It's a great instrument, and a sweet price. And it's sweeter now: 1050€ / £920 shipping included.

Just been asked about the weight: 4,4kg/9.6lbs

I'm selling this nice P/J, which is a custom order handbuilt by Navigator luthiers in Japan. Nice cosmetic and playing condition, it's combining Fender shape with MEC electronics, and a Badass II too. Materials and craftmanship are top notch. Dead-straight neck, with a nice low action, perfect balance, it resonates very well too. Honduras rosewood slab fingerboard, nickel frets in as new condition. Electronics is dead-silent, and very effective. Pickups sounds massive, there are so many tones in there ! You can get passive tones - if you dig it, think of adding a passive cap - and the preamp carries a lot of flexibility. 1100 € / £970, reduced to 1050€\£920 shipped to your door in European countries - i live near Paris. Comes with fresh strings and its flight-case. It really is a steal: N-PB Navigator's streetprice is 360 000 JPY in Japan, and custom orders are more expensive.
