What's that P in your avatar Neil?

I am looking to exchange my 75 re-issue jazz for a Lakland Duck Dunn, as I need Precision pick up/jazz neck. These critters have got me thinking though.# Are they passive fellas? Cheers, Karl.

Ist time I've noticed the thread. That bass looks and sounds gorgeous. Good luck, Karl

Great bass this, Karl is a proper gent so buy with confidence folks. [/quote] Thanks Tom. The dint on the button I noticed when I tried it. Did not give one toss, not on this bass . The missing screw/spring, erm, well, dunno, but guess I've done a few gigs with it and not noticed . Could have gone anytime. Still doesn't go out of tune though! Trip to Richard Thomson on Monday methinks. Truly sorry if it does go, but would like to get a Lakland Duck Dunn for sound and neck profile and this is the only one that could come close in value. Look after yourself fella, cheers, Karl. PS, just checked some of the bands facebook photo's, the screw/spring were definitely at a gig with me in October, so not down to you dude!!!

Hello folks. NOW for sale, £600 collected from Wigan, £635 delivered. No offers thanks. Long shot but I need to get a Duck Dunn. On the rare occasion they come up they seem to go for £525/£550. The '75 re-issues seem to go for around £600+, so not much in it. Problems with my jazz. 1. Seems to have been dropped at some time, nasty little ding at bottom strap button. 2. When taking the (crap) photo's noticed the the screw for the G string saddle is missing . Now replaced with correct Japanese screw. This jazz used to belong to Tom1946, so it's a good 'un, with the slightly less common rosewood board and blocks. This is a reluctant trade/sale, but I really need a P with a J neck. The 3 guys who asked for a sale price when I was looking to trade, seem to have vanished, so now on open sale Thanks for looking, Karl. (now posted in proper place, thanks BILBO for sorting out my senior moment . Feedback.

Bump for new photo's. Karl.

[quote name='Soloshchenko' post='1142892' date='Feb 26 2011, 11:24 PM']what's the action like and is the neck straight? I am missing my old CMI Rick copy![/quote] Action fine although a little higher than my Fenders, as I only use a pick on Rick style basses. Neck also fine. Have gigged this a few times since I got it, using it for Diamond Head/Metallica's Am I Evil. Oh yes, it can growl . Further PM's replied to, thanks for the interest, but still here. Cheers, Karl.

Bump. It's from 1976, it's very well made, it's a very good likeness to the real thing. More so than most modern Rickenfakers. It's unlikely (but slightly possible) to be worth any less in the future £330 delivered by Parcel Farce £300 collected from Wigan. I need a second SP212, please save me from FEEBay . Karl.

[quote name='ialma' post='1140375' date='Feb 24 2011, 08:22 PM']laminated body ?[/quote] Yes, but not ply. Jon (Bassassin) calls it "Butchers Block" , I think. It appears to have a facing of about a quarter of an inch, then solid wood beneath that. If anybody has one of those earlier, passive, Mexican Precision Deluxes that have P and J pick ups, I would both swap and meet, if they were of a mind. That would mean my '75 Japanese, non-export Jazz (in my avatar) would be coming up for sale . I really need just 3 basses suitable for the gigs I do. I really want (not need) a second SP212. Thanks for the question, Karl.
