SOLD Up for grabs is my lovely 1978 Twin Reverb with the original Fender speakers (not changed for Jensons) and the original footswitch for the spring reverb and vibrato. A couple of the pots on the bright channel have been changed due to corrosion of the pots and the power amp tubes have been changed to Mesa 6L6 valves (by the previous owner)! Pictures up soon as my tech has it at the moment servicing it and PAT testing it. It's a lovely example of an original 70's twin with tons of character and loud as hell! Collection only due to size and weight I'm afraid. Would consider a trade Big Jim

What you getting mate?

The JB5 is more than just another take on a classic design; it's the best jazz bass we've ever made. It offers superior balance, excellent tone, and playability that can't be beat. Features such as Carvin's locking bass bridge, smooth contoured neck heel with 5-bolt neck plate, 22-fret neck with dual carbon-fiber reinforcement rods and new JVA single-coil jazz pickups make the JB5 a true player's instrument, regardless of your playing style or genre.[/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/size][/left] [left][size=5][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times]JB5 General Specifications:[/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/size][/left] [left][size=5][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times]construction[/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/size][/left] [left][size=5][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times]5-string, bolt-on neck[/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/font][/color][/size][/left] [left][size=5][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times][color=#000000][font=Times]scale length -

Glad they did, that fan on it was insane!"

I think this was mine at some point!?

Are you sure no trades?

Tor is a friend of mine and I can vouch for him! And his taste in basses, not cars ;-)

What colour is the original pickguard and why the change?

String spacing and weight?

I just missed this when Luc sold it... And I have only trades now!!!! Interested in any trades?
