Oh well, ta anyway.

Can I ask, please, where you got the hard case?

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1378843595' post='2205539'] There are times when I believe I am punishing myself with my recent one-in, one-out policy - and this is one of them, love it [/quote] You could always make it more of a guideline than a policy?... Looks like the de-tuner is sold (thanks Mike). When I take that off I'll change the bridge, too, so it will be back to the BBOT. Also - I won't be at my pc from early tomorrow until Tuesday in case anyone wants to get in touch. Ta!

Yes, I would, although probably for a little bit more than £30 - say £40 posted? I bought it new to put on there and it is still in very good nick.

Sadly, too heavy for me otherwise it wouldn't be going anywhere. I truly don't think I could get such a good bass in such good condition for the money. Yes, absolutely Duff-tastic! The one they based his sig model on, I suppose. But better and cheaper Detuner is a BT2.

I have tried to sell this a few times and each time I have taken it out of the case to take pictures I put it away again. but this time it is going. No, I really mean it. Fender Power Jazz Bass Special in pearl white, maple neck with rosewood board and black headstock. Black hardware. Made in Fuji-gen 1984-1987, just about the time when they were (arguably) making the best basses in the world. At the time I believe this was something of a departure for fender - it was a Precision body with Jazz neck (reinforced with carbon fibre - you can see that on the headstock) PJ pickups and active preamp that does all sorts of nice things. Here is a link to the fender owners manual [url="http://support.fender.com/manuals/instruments/Power_Jazz_Bass_Japan_(1987"]http://support.fende...ass_Japan_(1987[/url])_manual.pdf and here a good diagram that explains what it all does from Talkbass [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f38/active-power-jazz-bass-special-fender-192864/#post7894267"]http://www.talkbass....64/#post7894267[/url] It is in incredibly good condition. I won't say mint because it isn't mint, but it is near museum piece quality. I have taken a pic of the biggest dink to the paintwork, the rest is ok - a little buckle rash but nothing major. The white paint finish has aged to a lovely pale cream. The maple has hat golden patina that only age can do. I don't think this was standard issue but at some point the pups have been changed to Seymour Duncan Basslines. To put it bluntly, it is a rock monster. Absolutely fantastic, a joy to play - push it and the grit gets gritty. Isolate the P pup and it sounds precision-y, but harder. Blend the pups and it is made to rock and roll. I put some DR Highbeams on it and they are just at that nice point when they are worn it but still loads of oomph. [s]At the moment it is sporting a (black) Hipshot detuner and a Gotoh 201 bridge - this is black chrome rather than solid black. I can sell it with these on or return to stock.[/s] The reason I am selling it is that, at nearly 10lbs, it is too heavy for me to wear for any length of time. And I have too many basses - one or more have to go so it is going to be this one. Price. returned to stock (well, as I got it) with the normal tuner and BBOT bridge back on it, £400. [s]With Hipshot detuner £430. With Gotoh Bridge £450.[/s] It comes with a perfectly serviceable ABS case with a few dings. Fully insured overnight courier would be £25, pick up from Benfleet in Essex or I can meet half way or deliver within reason for fuel cost. I'll be bringing it with me to the SE Bass Bash, which would make an ideal opportunity to pay for and collect it.... Edit - just a thought - I would trade this for a TC Electronics RH450 and footswitch.
