EDIT: Weight = 9.2lbs - decently light for a Fender V like this. There’s some real boat anchors out there but this isn’t one ⚖️ For sale is my candy apple red 5 string MIM 2000 Fender Jazz Deluxe. This is one from the Suhr era and has the amazing pickups designed by John Suhr with the fat single pole pieces - these are pickups with a ridiculous amount of articulation & low end and are a favourite of gospel players from over the pond It was active, but has been converted to passive, I was going to stick the preamp back on it but it sounds huge anyway and I didn’t really want to change the sound at all - but it does come with the Suhr preamp, it’s a bit battered, but it works and a couple of new knobs and you’ll be good to go (these Suhr preamps are always praised for how musical they are) The original preamp is the 4 knob deluxe so it does have a redundant I pot on the side of the body, as well as the working one on the control plate, however if you out the preamp back on (or something else that would fit like the Sadowsky or East Retro Deluxe) then you can wire it up again - I was going to do this but the sound of this passive is so good I didn’t want to alter it, and really enjoyed playing a passive J Its been professionally setup up with a nice low action (but not too low - it slaps extremely well), it’s been well gigged and has loads of mojo and a few chips around the edges (I’ve tried to capture in pics) nothing major but it’s no case Queen. Also comes with 3 spare scratchplates other than the cream one that’s on it - white Pearl, mint green & tort Price includes U.K. shipping with a fender gig bag. This is a really nice Jazz bass, both how it plays and how it sounds but I have a 5 string MTD Saratoga Jazz as well as a Lakland 55-02 which both cover me For all the jazz bass tones I need, but I need a PJ (looking at the Sadowsky MetroExpress or Yamaha 1024/5) and can’t afford to buy them until I shift something. Its a slow market at the moment, so I am pricing this as competitively as I possibly can - I think it’s an absolute bargain. You’re welcome to try it out if you’re in the North East (or want to travel here) you will not be disappointed IMO £500 collected or £535 (inc shipping & Fender gigbag)

This is an unreal bass for £450!

Does it have passive tone control when preamp is bypassed? Cheers

You know what - about 20 mins after posting this I started going through a load of Northern Soul tunes I’m learning for Dep gigs (on my totally not a cliche sunburst P Bass with flats) and I flicked it to the tube only channel, drive to about 3.5 and thought ‘this actually sounds immense - what on earth extra do you want from it? If it said Noble on the box you’d be thinking it was tonal manna from heaven?!’ 🤣 I was playing through my Audio Technica studio headphones rather than a cab and I think I was way too fast to write it off! I’m gonna have to have a think!

Withdrawing this - gonna gig it this weekend and make a final decision then - but apologies! Laney Digbeth 2 channel preamp & DI. Clean FET Channel and Tube Emulation channel (with separate adjustable drive) with a switch to either run it as 1) Tube channel only 2) Mix of Tube & clean (adjustable volume for each to taste) or 3) FET Clean channel only - this means you can have a clean sound as your basic sound and then use the tube channel as a ‘boost’ or just turn it on for certain sections (it basically works in the way that everyone wishes the Aguilar ToneHammer pedal/AGS worked!). Also has 4 band EQ with switchable low mids (so 6 diff frequencies but you can only use one of the low mids at a time) Took this in trade and I’m actually very impressed, however I have a genuine tube DI already and I just took it on the off chance the overdriven sound was specifically what I am looking for at the mo, and its not really. I’ve got no issues keeping it as it’s an incredibly versatile little pedal, and the overdriven sound is very very usable, but its not what I need right now and I’ve got a list of gear I’m after running close to 5 figures, so if it’s not on my board right now it’s up for sale. £80 posted 1st class recorded/£75 collected Comes in original box with printed manual

You still got the DCX Bass mate?

I’d love this amp but this is exactly my position - I’ve ended up spending £500 on high end tube preamp/DI instead, and for the odd gig I get where I need an amp I’ve got I can’t justify it 😢 That rig above with the amp & the MB 4x10 must sound absolutely amazing 🤩

You really are in luck now! 😃

Ahh I can see the stacked knob if I zoom in! 😆 It’s very nice, these are 35” scales aren’t they?

Is this bass passive? Great playing btw in that Instagram clip - that band sounds like it’d be fun to play with!

Ahh I got you - fair enough!

There’s a 5 string one of these for sale with a John East pre on here somewhere. This is an insanely good bass for under £300!

Nothing wrong with it at all - the Zoom amp sims in particular are really good and now it has a DI it’s literally all you need for a gig, it’s just not what I need right now - if I was a bit more flush I’d be happy to keep it about as it’s got so many uses, but if I’m not gigging with it then I can’t afford to keep it around - too many other things to buy! 🤑 😆

SOLD - Cheers 👍 Zoom B2 Four multi effects unit with a huge amount of effects, compressors, amps, preamps, looper, tuner etc - £125 (can arrange postage) Bought from @Machines on here recently and used for 1 gig but found a different solution so this is straight back up (I paid £140 so I think it’s very fair - still in as new condition). No box but has original Zoom power supply - incredible value for money, and now that Zoom have finally put a DI out on their multi fx units it could serve as a complete solution for your pedalboard as you can run 5 effects simultaneously straight to front of house. It’s an excellent piece of kit, but I was after something very specific and A/B’d with another pedal I decided to go with the other one, and there’s not enough space on my board for it really Some vids/info below for anyone who wants to know more about it - they’ll do a better job than me of explaining the features etc 👇 There’s also a good thread in the Effects forum that’s worth checking out if you’re considering it. Would trade/take part ex for - JPTR Jive Fx, decent Octaver (OC2 or similar like the MarkBass one or other ones based on it), MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe (or potentially a different Chorus - try me), always room for a nice Compressor or Preamp (particularly something like a Broughton Fliptop or Sushibox Slampegg Bee Pre that type of thing), but whatever - try me, I can put money the other way if it’s something I’d use

I’ve had one of these - in this colour too, absolutely fantastic, wipes the floor with a Sterling SUB for me
