    Thanks lads, top class as ever. I don't actually want anymore bloody basses, I'm just weak . Karl.

    It's got a case, which is far from standard. I would personally contact and tell him, "if you ever decide you will accept £420 for it , cash, collected,would you give me a call please"? Probably worth that now I would think. As ever, it's down to how many people looking at it, and how desperate he is to sell. Good luck, Karl.

    Think the last second hand one in great condition went for £380 on here. Second hand value on Fenders generally does not seem to be keeping up with the big price increase on new ones, that we have seen this year (IMO). Makes 2nd hand even better value. I had a first series Highway 1 and it was probably the best value (and playing! ) USA Fender Jazz I have owned. Good luck whatever. Karl.

    Fantastic rig which can be made even better with a simple replacement of valves (see Happy Jack's bit in repairs and technical, it's "pinned"). Love mine to bits. Good luck, Karl.

    Either way, somebody buy this or my Aerodyne, and put me out of this torture ! Karl.

    Sorry fender73, this one is now mine. Has a much wider neck than I thought, thought I'd dropped a clanger at first. After sanding 16 years of sweat off it, and doing some other work on it, it has become the "take to gig as back up to my P". Like it so much, having to sell my Aerodyne Jazz to get the Mrs off my back. (3 basses, grudgingly OK, 4 basses, sell one or face the wroth ). Karl.

    I've just been offered one of the 500/3? in straight swap for the Aerodyne Jazz I'm selling. Apparently early 60's in good nick. Have I dropped a clanger here? Karl. Edited, found it, linky below, comments chaps please?

    [quote name='Nostromo' post='1271366' date='Jun 16 2011, 01:00 PM']Do you really wanna see some pics of my old Black Eagle ? . . . If so I'll start a new topic . . . you choose which forum it should be in - and I'll start a topic and post up some pics ! Dont want to derail FourStrungs topic here which is clearly focused on "Jazz neck feel with Precision sound" . . . something which is well worth searching for in my opinion so a good topic to keep going ! ! Cheers, [/quote] Yup please! You have enough gear to have your own topic on the Gear Porn thread, could spookily be called Nostromo's Gear Porn . Karl. Ps good luck FourStrung.

    OOPS, missed the original topic. Anyway, shameless plug, I have a Japanese Aerodyne for sale, P/J config, jazz neck, just have a look in the for sale bit, under Karlfer. Good luck whatever you do. Karl. [quote name='FourStrung' post='1269760' date='Jun 15 2011, 10:29 AM']Hi guys, I am a relative newbie on bass, been playing guitar until now but due to difficulty of finding a suitable bassist where I live in rural France I have taken up the bass and quite enjoying it now I am getting into it more. I have a donated Wawrick Standard Rockbass that while is quite playable, doesn't give me the sound I would prefer to have. Playing in a 4pce blues rock band for fun mainly, the odd gig for a few beers and plate of food if lucky. This week I played a Fender Jazz and a Squier Precision – this has just caused me more problems as I love the Jazz neck but the Precision sound. Now I need to find a bass that can deliver the two elements but cost no more that a Fender J or P. Looking for some pointers as I am a long way from any good guitar shops and dont want to start from scratch if a take a day out to go and test a few. I really like the look of the Squier Jaguar, they do a model with a humbucker or jazz & p style split but not sure about a Squier. I really want to step up on quality and sound of the Rockbass. Welcome any advice and suggestions Thanks[/quote]

    Aw, God, you've got a Black Eagle . I stupidly tried one of those and a Shaftesbury Tele bass at the same time. I stupidly bought the Tele (on a years HP) and I've regretted it ever since. Black Eagle photo's pretty please. Whaddya mean off topic? Karl.
  13. karlfer
    Cheers Jacqueslemac. The price is a sad reflection of the market, but, that's good news for buyers. GAK are doing this bass at £749 . Thanks very much for the bump. Karl.

    Recently sold an expensive bass, bought 2 cheaper ones, looking for Jazz neck, P sound. Of the 2, the Yamaha Attitude Special, just has one of those necks I can't put down. Hence, selling the Aerodyne. P/J pick ups, export (the more common) version, recently re-strung/set up/serviced by Thomson guitars of Wigan. Added some Creative Cuts "inlay" decals (thanks Silddx) , they just stick on, you can't feel them and they leave no residue if you remove them. They are imitation black abalone, but change colour with the light. This was so I know where I am on the fretboard . Very good condition, 1 little dink on the front,just to the right of the bottom of fretboard. 2 or 3 little dinks on the back, some light swirling on the back, but very difficult to photograph with phone camera (all I've got). So, £400 collected from Wigan including crappy but servicable gigbag. (£749 in GAK). £430 insured delivery, sorry, after clearance of funds. Or, £430 delivered by me, between Birmingham and Carlisle. Thanks for looking, Karl. Trade for the following? Fender Japan 62 re-issue, pref Sonic Blue or Surf Green. Fender Japan 70's re-issue Precision or John Myung Six string bass. Orange SP212 Isobaric, or Orange 210 Isobaric. Edited to add my feedback thread below.

    Got mine from Watford Valves last week. Gigged it this weekend, much more flexibilty. Sounds great, really happy with it. Many thanks HJ . Karl.

    If you still have it after I sell my Aerodyne, I will have it. If you haven't, you wont be bothered anyway . Cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='Bassbadger' post='1263969' date='Jun 10 2011, 02:29 PM']Hi all. Thought you might like to see the headless Retrovibe RV4 I had made with the final batch. There are a couple of issues in that the bridge tuners don't have comfortable clearance over the tail of the body and the nut/retainer needs some re-jigging but other than that it's pretty much spot on. I should also mention that I only had the one made for personal use. Sorry! [attachment=82265:RV4H.jpg][/quote] Jumpin Jack Flash!!!!, it's a,

    These are superb basses. Last one on here went for £380, although somebody was attempting to sell one for £500. Just glad I don't have GAS or I'd be in. Good luck, Karl.

    [quote name='ficelles' post='1260631' date='Jun 8 2011, 02:08 AM']No, but I have a photo of Elvis using it at Woodstock... ficelles[/quote] I have that photo, it was in the Sunday Sport .

    See what happens when you go all Statuses (Statii?) Shuker and SEI? You miss your Geddy's and 75's . Buy this with confidence folks, John is as good as it gets. Actually, buy it bloody quickly, I struggle with 4 strings but this is really tempting!!!!! Karl.
  23. karlfer
    Yup, 22 fret Boner (Longhorn originally?) Karl.
  24. karlfer
    One of these was my 2nd bass. I'm still in therapy. Karl.

    These are in conjunction with Tanglewood, have a look at Tanglewoods web site, especially the Overwater bit . Karl.
