BUMP! for any more trade offers? Had a great offer on a Status 5 but what with my limited capabilities I can only manage 4's I would need a fair chunk of cash though to get me out of the s***.

SOLD Selling on behalf of a work colleague who's son dabbled in trying to learn the bass but couldn't be arsed! I thought I'd give it a try here before its ebayed. I gave it a good clean, oiled the fingerboard, put some D'Addario's on and set it all up. It plays pretty darn good and sounds how a Jazz bass should. I'm personally not a huge Jazz bass fan, I've owned a couple of USA ones in the past but I've always favoured Precisions. Anyhow it sounds pretty much like they did. It's obviously passive but the pups seem pretty powerful, the bass has a fair bit of grunt. I really know nothing about these basses so as to what the body wood is I couldn't tell you, its not that heavy though. Condition wise its very good. I'd say 8/10. There are the usual slight surface marks and a small ding on the bottom of the body. Its hardly been played as the frets are unmarked. So there it is. I have no hard case for it so posting would be a bit of a no go although I'm happy to meet up with a buyer around the Midlands.

[quote name='desmondpot' post='1254004' date='Jun 2 2011, 02:14 PM']What sort of trades are you after? What do you fancy?[/quote] I would be after a half decent 4 string fretted to use as my main (and only) bass. Ideally I would want a cash sale for the Thumb and get something cheapish until I sort myself out. Something along the lines of a G&L Tribby would be great.

BUMP!!! I may be able to do a trade but I'd need a fair bit of cash

Its a lovely slim '80s neck. Nothing like the later ones. Few more pics I've found...

For sale is my pride and joy. I waited a long time to find one as good as this and never dreamed I'd have to sell it but... The pictures speak for themselves, its a stunner with not issues to report. Its all good! Frets, neck, bodywork, electronics and finish. Older Thumbs are a bit heavier than the newer ones which is a small pay off considering the superior overall quality of the old handmade instruments. I would rather not post it as I only have a gig bag left now so I'd rather it be collected or I would meet half way within reason but please PM me if this would be a problem as I'm sure something can be sorted out. Anyhow picture time! I'll post some more pics if required. Cheers, Paul

If you think this looks good, try playing it. Its bloody fantastic! Well worth the asking price.

[quote name='deanbean502' post='1249608' date='May 29 2011, 08:26 PM']dude ive got a rockbass on here for £140 been on weeks and still no takers about time i gave it a bump[/quote] Trouble is, its a Warwick! They seem to be the lepers of the bass world.

[quote name='tommorichards' post='1249846' date='May 30 2011, 01:20 AM']Am i missing something? £750 for a squier?[/quote] It's a '83/'84 Japanese made Fender which at the time blew the socks of anything that was coming out of America. The build quality was flawless (unlike a lot of US stuff at the time). These JV series basses are highly regarded and sort after and command a decent price. I've owned a couple of SQ Precisions and they were excellent in every way.

I've held off listing this on ebay as there has been some interest here but all has gone quiet. Last bump and then its ebay time.

Ebay looming BUMP!

And back up for sale

[quote name='Oldman' post='1242227' date='May 23 2011, 09:01 PM']Please, this bass is not cheap..........it's inexpensive..........its also superb.........fretless it would be mine.................good luck[/quote] Cheers. Let me just find my pliers! [quote name='Randy_Marsh' post='1242298' date='May 23 2011, 09:37 PM'] Crikey Paul! That is a beaut. Good job you have another one as backup [/quote] I wish I could have a few more and a certain fretless would be nice but with one thing and another I'm a little over stretched. Along with my '73 Precision this will be one bass I'll regret selling.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1242054' date='May 23 2011, 07:09 PM']I have my 1990 with the predominantly Maple neck up for sale and there's no way I'd let it go as cheap as this![/quote] I know, but desperate times mate! I'm gunning for a quick BassChat sale but failing that it'll go on ebay for a fair bit more.

SOLD

Pics or no pics this is a great amp at a bargain price! I've been completely amp GAS free after buying mine.

[quote name='wilko_66' post='1228080' date='May 11 2011, 09:27 PM']still here! Who wants it?[/quote] ME! I'd love another one but bank says no. Folk'll trip over themselves to snap up Fenders for this kind of money but ignore rare opportunities to get basses like this. Very strange.
