The MM Sub range is incredible value for money. As far as I can tell it's only the paint job that is any different.

Amen to all of the above. I've got a 1998 model and it's a total revelation. Light, smooth, fast, versatile and cuts right through the mix when (as in my case) you're up against/playing with (delete as applicable) two guitarists with hotted up pieces. Our lead guitarist is always sneaking goes on it during comfort breaks. Build quality is excellent.

Awesome colour. Must be a Prince tribute act out there somewhere in need of a bit more purple..... Great basses, I bought one (in metallic blue, a '98 model) from Gareth of this site, last August. Truly the most versatile bass I've ever owned and plenty loud enough to cut it with two guitarists who only recognise 11 on the volume dial. Good luck with the sale.

Just been clearing out my spare parts case and I think some of this stuff would be useful for for anybody with a Jazz Bass project in mind. [u]Jazz Bass[/u] [s]1 x set (4) of Squier VM Jazz Bass tuners - mint condition, no slack, all ferrules and screws - £12.50 + postage [/s][b]SOLD.[/b] 1 x set (1 x Bridge - 94mm long, 7.85 kohm + 1 x Neck - 90mm long, 7.7 kohm) Squier VM pick-ups (designed by Seymour Duncan apparently) - these are better than anything I've heard on a MIM Fender bass.....alright I know that's not saying much but they aren't bad, decent mids and enough bite from the bridge pick-up to make it worth sticking them on a cheapo project bass - £20 + postage [attachment=248283:SD_VM_PUs_2.JPG] [s]1 x Squier VM BBOT bridge - fits Jazz or P-Bass - again seems sturdier than the MIM model, the value for money of the Squier VM models is well documented, so no surprise I guess - £8.00 + postage[/s] - [b]SOLD [/b] 1 x MIM Fender BBOT bridge (no through body stringing holes) - fits Jazz or P-Bass - £8.00 + postage [s]1 x set of Fender shiny stuff for Jazz Bass (1 x F marked bridge ashtray, 1 x pick up cover and 1 x standard JB control plate) all chrome and in VGC. The attached photo is a bit pony but there are no dinks and only a few minor scratches on all three - £20.00 + postage - [/s][b]SOLD[/b] [s]1 x Fender genuine part white-black-white 3 ply JB pickguard - nicely aged to a sort of ivory - VGC as taken off when brand new and replaced - £10.00 + postage[/s] -[b] SOLD [/b] [attachment=248286:Fender_OEM_White.JPG] [s]1 x Non Fender replacement part (very) red tortoiseshell 3 ply JB pickguard - looks good on anything sunburst or natural - £8.00 + postage[/s] - [b]SOLD [/b] [attachment=248287:Non_Fender_OEM_Red.JPG] 1 x Non Fender replacement part blue pearloid 3 ply JB pickguard + thumbrest (not pictured) - fits Squier VM JB not too sure about Fenders, didn't try it but holes look slightly different placement - £8.00 + postage [attachment=248290:Squire_Fit_Blue_Jazz.JPG] [u]Non Jazz Bass[/u] 1 x set of well worn but very functional Epiphone 2+2 gold tuners, originally on an Epiphone Korina Flying V bass - all ferrules and screws (ideal for a "roadworn" project)- £5.00 + Postage [attachment=248539:Epiphone_Worn_Gold_1.JPG] [attachment=248540:Gold_Worn_Pegs_2.JPG] [s]1 x set of heavy gauge black tape wound strings - I can't remember what make these are, D'Addario possibly, I was looking for a heavy dub sound at one point, tried these but they were too heavy for a Jazz, so took them off after two playings and bought a cheap five string instead . They are quite heavy, you could moor up warships with these things, but very well made and would be smooth as you like on the right bass. Look great too. - £10.00 + postage[/s]. - [b]SOLD [/b] Cheers Ash

Can anyone recommend a good, reliable maker of custom pickguards? Specifically I'm looking for a left hand Fender Mustang 'guard, cut for a pair of P90's and a 3 way toggle switch. As Fender are now offering a P90 Mustang, I thought there might be something ready made on the market either here or in the States but it would appear not at present. Thanks Ash

Evening all. This is a mint 2006 Standard Jazz Bass from the Fender anniversary collection (I'm not sure what difference that makes but it does have dinky silver badge on the back of the head-stock saying so....which is nice), I had a Badass II fitted by the Southampton luthier of note, Vince Hockey. Vince also set the bass up to my spec at the same time. I have also fitted a Fender original part tortoise shell plate, to give it that sixties classic Jazz look, which IMHO is the best match with 3 colour sunburst but I will throw in the original white plate for those that prefer that look. Although this bass has an alder body, the wood does have a very fine figuring which is visible through the yellow part of the paint job, more in line with a good piece of ash, unfortunately that doesn't show up too well in the pictures. The rosewood fret-board is also a very fine piece of wood and has been recently oiled. The bass has barely left the house in the nine years I've had it and has no wear apart from a couple of minuscule scratches on the black underside below the control plate which in the interests of glasnost I have attempted to show. I'm putting this up for sale as (although very pretty and very playable) it just isn't getting the use it should and having just acquired a very good EBMM Sterling (from Gareth on this site), all my rehearsal and future gigging bases are covered, so to speak. I purchased this new in 2007 from the now sadly defunct Fret Music of Southampton. Spec as follows: 2006 Mexican Jazz Bass - Serial number MZ606xxxx 3 Colour Sunburst Maple/Roswood neck with clay dot markers Badass II bridge Strung with D'Addario flats. Plenty of life left in these. Tortoise shell scratchplate (original Fender part from Thomann) Original white scratchplate included Weight is 4.65 kg or 10.25 lbs (this is noticeably lighter than my Squire VM Jazz) Will be shipped with a generic hard case (Stagg) which is very serviceable and also in very good condition. I am located in Southampton but I am happy to courier this within the UK (with insurance) at cost to buyer. Need to thin out the general instrument collection, so not currently thinking of trades. Thanks for looking. Cheers Ash

Just brought a 1998 MM Sterling from Gareth. Great bass, smooth sales process (involving handover in London) and a thoroughly decent chap to boot. You can deal with Gareth with 100% confidence.
