    Is the neck original? Its the first i have seen with a standard headstock, not that ive seen many mind you. Outrageous bass! And price it seems.

    Pics coming when i find the rear pick up cover, (somewhere in the house!). Difficult decision to put this up but i am putting this on offer as a feeler/sale if i can get enough for it. I need to cover the cost of other purchases. If there is any interest please make an offer, or any experts reading this please help me guage the originallity and possible value of this bass. I have owned this bass for 7 years and never had any problems with it. It has my workhorse and played all the time. I have the original fender hardcase. As far as i am aware all parts are original, except the pick ups which are in it at the moment. I installed these "Wizard pups" a year ago, but still have the original pups which work fine. Will include both sets. The paintwork on the bass is badly "crazed". This is definatly like marmite. It has been like this since i have owned it and has not obviously gotten any worse. I have read somewhere that in the late 70s fenders factory were rushing guitars through and skipping the priming process. This maybe why the paintwork has gotten to be like this on many black fenders. Thats it really, i use the bass week in week out it works fine. You are welcome to pop round and play if you are local. I would be open to trades + £800.. I im after a Lakland Duck Dunn, but open minded. Any feedback will be welcomed.

    Up for grabs is my Eden Nemesis 2x10 4ohm speaker cab. Very LOUD, tight and punchy sound with my na650 head. The cab is in very good condition, it has been gigged a lot but its been looked after well. It has a non-adjustable horn which (eq sorts this) really allows your sound to cut through when needed (i can get a pretty good jj burnel impression through it). It has both speakon + jack input/output for linking. After having had the cab for 3-4 months i blew one of the speaker cones. I replaced both with 2x10" 300w each eminence speakers, so now rarted at 600w. (originally 250w i think). The weight of the cab has increased but only slightly. 23kg These are very good cabs for size weight and sound. I am selling because i have just splashed out on a pro quality cab. I will post pics this evening. I will post for £20-£30 quid i would guess- will search for cheapest Collection available from Portsmouth

    Is it everything that you want in a bass except for the damaged finish? No. I wanna good active one. I wanna red one. I wanna maple fretboard one. I wanna fretless one. I wanna 5 string one. OOOHHH I dont really know what i want, but i know i dont want rid of my jazz. I think i will have to leave it as is and get a new bass to satisfy at the mo. But i wanna MM one. I wanna status one, i could go on forever. I think Status, never tried one but really like em and i want a modern sound.

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='501038' date='May 29 2009, 03:44 PM']No, don't do it. It looks awesome.[/quote] Thanks for the nice comment. Just checked out your band mate. I reckon the paint job on my guitar was made for your band. Or maybe youve owned it before and your band created my crazed effect!! You wont be seen on TOTP anytime soon.

    [quote name='sixshooter' post='501043' date='May 29 2009, 03:45 PM']You could try Joe White 01252 520911 near Aldershot. He refinished my 1959 P bass, (see the picture on the left, and yes it is a real 59)[/quote] How bad was the original?? Do you regret having it done?

    Can someone help me find a good guitar painter to refin my guitar.
  15. bassmeg
    That is a nicer finish. Are the necks of these things normally wenge? I had one and always thiught it was wenge neck and fretboard. Are you giving it up then? Dont say your going to the 6 string spotlight hugger!

    I suppose it was you that bought the roscoe bass? I was dreaming of that bass in MY arms. What a loverly creature it is.

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='500383' date='May 28 2009, 10:59 PM']Anyway, don't refin it, just get a new body and swap all the hardware. The colour is fiesta red, in addition mine had be hung in a shop window for ages till it went lighter, the original fingerboard had gone pretty much grey.[/quote] What is your bass? That headstock is a head turner. Is it a frankenstien lefty neck right body thingy?

    [quote name='chilisfan16' post='500061' date='May 28 2009, 05:15 PM']im looking around the 1000 mark, nothing too high in the price range but a nice bass and nice sound.[/quote] Dont know what this sounds like, but it does look great!

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='500346' date='May 28 2009, 10:19 PM']I think it looks awesome, and I will cheerfully trade you my salmon pink 'custom' jazz for it. Its like a crackle finish without being 80s and something that Shockwave would buy. [/quote] definatly the coulour im after, but i also love block inlays and bound necks. Thanks for your generous offer though my friend.

    [quote name='Paul_C' post='500328' date='May 28 2009, 10:09 PM']I had a Fender Lead II (bought from a mate from my local pub for £25) made in the early 80s that had the same black/crazed finish - IIRC I was told at the time that Fender had to stop using nitro because of all the fumes being pumped out of the factory, and the finish was an early poly that didn't work too well I stripped off the bits that didn't just fall off and oiled/waxed it, sold on ebay a year later for £200 [/quote] nice work fella

    [quote name='steve-soar' post='500318' date='May 28 2009, 10:00 PM']That's the first time I've ever seen scariasis of the bass. Have you checked the neck pocket, to see if there are traces of other colours? Has the bass been in a really humid environment?[/quote] I feel like im on embarrassing illnesses for bass! will check bass for other colours, maybe it has at some point been mistreated by previous owners.

    Can anyone stop me from doing this? The paintwork on my jazz is as far as i am aware original and it looks like the timber has over the years swollen and dried out, and the result is that the paint has cracked and pretty much webbed all over. I love the 78 jazz look, (although black is not my fravorite colour) so when tempted to change the bass i always back out. So i reckon what i need is to spruce it up with a damn good paint job. Anyone seen MarloweDKs salmony red colour (dont know the actual colour) jazz? Well i think thats what i want. This will keep me happy for a while at least, cant stop the GAS urge. So if you look at my guitar i would like to know other peoples views to why i should or should not go for it. What are the pros and cons? Why would this guitar be more desirable with the original cracked paint? If i do go through with this where can i get it done? While i am at it, how can i tell if the bass is 100% original. I have owned this bass for 7 years now, ihave the original hardcase and have just assumed that it is all original.
