Just what i was going to say. Too much of a coincidence that he is from "crook" surely?

Unlike my other bass that is in this for sale section, this one has been made to look like this on purpose [/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]it started life off as a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass. It has been stripped and refinished had some of the contours adjusted and a slight sculpt of the headstock replaced knobs, aged hardwear (the tuners are quite stiff as a result but still work just fine) and then the relic treatment. but don't let that put you off, its a great sounding and playing bass. Like i said, the two im selling will go toward an upgrade.[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Any questions, feel free to ask [/font]

I just want to make everyone aware that the headstock has a big chip on it. I have taken a photo it, as you can see, but it might not be as obvious as id hoped it would be, and i dont want anyone to buy it under false pretences. To the admin, this isnt an extra bump as the post is still at the top and i just wanted to make sure everyone was fully informed

All Pms replied to. Ash, it weighs 8.5 llbs on a bathroom scale, so in no way is that dead accurate. Andy, i am guessing thats your name, apologies if its not, it hasnt got the OHSC, but i do have a heavy duty hard case i would be willing to send it in, but at the buyers expense.

So heres the bass [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140303_155224.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140303_155234.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140303_155243.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140303_155304.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140303_155339.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140303_155403.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140303_155409.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140303_155415.jpg.html"][/url] If you are someone who like their equipment in pristine condition, this is not the bass for you. It has some very real wear on it, and ive tried to capture that as best i can on the photos. This bass has been played!!! This personally doesnt worry me, i like it. Gives it mojo It has recently been set up by a professional luthier, has new strings on it, and a new wiring kit from our very own Kiogon. Honestly has the lowest action on any Precision I've ever played. Very easy on the wrist! I also have a black pickgaurd i can throw into the deal if you'd like. Im selling it as i have too many basses. I have my eye on another bass, and one in means one out. This one in particular has to go because i have a '87 Warwick streamer that does what this bass does. Any trial is welcomed on this. I live in South Wales, and your welcome to pop round and have a go on it. Might throw in a cuppa and a few biscuits if your lucky too. It really is a great playing bass. As i said i am looking to fund a purchase, so would prefer a straight sale, but wont do any harm in seeing what you have. Im looking for a jazz style bass, as i have enough Precisions. A trade plus cash from my way is an option for the right bass. Feel free to ask any questions Thanks

I dont get jazz. At all. Im well aware im probably the minority. I do appreciate the musicianship, and skills that they obviously have. But its not for me. Dont enjoy it at all. Ill get my coat.... -
[size=6][sub]Ive gone ahead with getting a wiring kit from our resident wiring loom genius on here (KiOgon) so im looking forward for that to arrive to try it out.[/sub][/size] [size=6][sub]Im going to try get my hands on a badass3, but they are turning out to be quite hard to come by!! If i continue to struggle to get this, ill take Lozz recommendation and try the Hi Mass bridge.[/sub][/size] [size=6][sub] Im hoping with new bridge and wiring, the sound will be how i want it. If not, i will spend some cash on some new pickups. Ill just see how it goes.[/sub][/size] [size=6][sub]I think Gruffers has got it right. I think it is a normal MiA PBass that has genuine "road wear". One thing for sure is it has been played!! The serial number does correspond to it being made in Corona in 2008, and it doesnt look like it has been refinished, so im guessing thats the case! [/sub][/size] [size=6][sub]Ill keep the post updated for anyone interested and perhaps post a video of how it looks and sounds once its all done.[/sub][/size] [size=6][sub]Thanks to everyone for the help and advice[/sub][/size]
-
I cant remember the serial number off the top of my head, but when i entered it in a checker, it said it was from the corona factory in 2008. I will take further pictures when i get in. Ive taken the bridge off because i wanted to get a closer look why i couldnt adjust the saddles. Ill put a few pics of this up too. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/7835-kiogon/"][color="#282828"]KiOgon[/color][/url] you have mail! Ill decide if i need new pickups after the upgrade in wiring
-
I thought this. Which is another reason i put it on the site. In all honesty i dont know if its been refinished. I took a punt with it, and this is what i got
-
Cheers, and yeh as soon as i saw it i loved it. Just needs a couple of adjustments, and im sure ill love the whole thing!
-
Thanks Bri. Ill have a look on eBay see if its still there

Hi Just recieved this in a trade. Not from this forum by the way. Here it is: [URL=http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/FenderRW2-1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv109/FuNkShUi/FenderRW2-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/fenderRW.jpg.html][IMG]http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv109/FuNkShUi/fenderRW.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s674.photobucket.com/user/FuNkShUi/media/FEenderRW3.jpg.html][IMG]http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv109/FuNkShUi/FEenderRW3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Now i love the look of this bass, but i have noticed a few problems with it, and was hoping for some advice. It had quite bad fret buzz. But as the strings were quite low, i thought id raise them at the saddle and the problem would be sorted. The grub screws in the saddles however, are threaded. I could just replace the saddles, but im thinking i may aswell replace the whole bridge. Any recommendations on which bridge would be best suited for the job? I dont know if it makes a difference, but it is a strung through body. Another problem it has is that the tone feels quite dead, in comparison to my other MiA PBass at least. This may just be down to the fact it needs new strings, but i have a feeling that the P/Ups could do with a renewal. So again, im asking on any recommendations, but for Pickups this time. I like that i have the option for a round fat tone, and a brighter punchier tone on my MiA, but on this one i dont have that tonal variation. Is this down to the P/Ups or the tone pots? Sorry for all the questions. Ive never had to do any of my own modifications on a bass. Im usually a plug in and play kinda person so any advice will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance Kert
