buff Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Have decided to get rid of my prose jazz bass, as ive hardly used it since changing the pick up's etc. fitted with emg J/MM active pick ups, battery compartment on the rear of the bass. Body has a few shrink marks on the paint. Looking for £250 ono. Please note this is a jazz bass made by prose, with fender decal's. Have now added new pic, as i realised it was an old pic .

Conan Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Would it be rude to ask why it has Fender decals on? And how would you describe the sound and playability of the bass? It's certainly a fine looking bass! Edited September 10, 2010 by Conan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buff Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 I added the fender decal, because there was'nt one on it when i got it. If prose did a logo it would have one of his. It is a lovely bass to play with great sustain. Sound wise it sound's like a jazz with oomph, the rear pick up has a pull switch so it can be a single pick up or a humbucker.

Conan Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Mmmmm.... I like the sound of that! What's its balance like? Neck heavy at all? Edited September 10, 2010 by Conan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buff Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 would say balance wise it's like any other jazz bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
