King Tut Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) OK - bit of an odd one here, don't think I'll get what I paid for the bits so if I can't get a reasonable price then she'll have to remain a keeper. The body: Bought from here - MIJ ash body from here - like this one . . . [url="http://kenji-cij.blogspot.com/2009/04/jb-62-wal-jazz-bass.html"]http://kenji-cij.blogspot.com/2009/04/jb-6...-jazz-bass.html[/url] The Neck: Bought from here - Allparts (Licensed by Fender) rosewood block and bound with Fender branded tuners. Bone nut. Fender Decal, but the 'offset contour body' piece of the decal is in slightly the wrong place. Some nice grain going on on this. Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickups. Badass II Bridge CTS pots. Warwick straplocks There are one or two tiny marks on the back of the bass- too difficult to photograph. What look like scratches on the body are reflections. Here's the pictures: This is a great player with a very 'up front' aggressive sound - also a fantastic looker. I won't be sad if she doesn't sell - I'll probably get the decal redone and sell one of the other basses in my arsenal! [b]OK - had a rethink on this and I'm gonna split her. Lots of interest in the individual bits - so - Neck - Sold - body - £200 plus post, Pickups £55 posted, Bridge - sold ![/b] Edited March 17, 2011 by King Tut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafbass02 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I was devastated to sell that, sadly I'm in no position to buy it back. But it looks nice, I never even opened the box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as good as any genuine Fenders out there - it's a shame peeps are put off cos it's a bitsa - but that's the way of the world. Ironically I's probably do better splitting it - don't want to do that though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswilliams666 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Let me know a price on the neck if you do. If my finances are good I'd be very interested.

King Tut Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 OK guys - had a rethink, and to be honest, there are some nice US standard jazzes on here for just £50 more so I don't think this is gonna sell. I don't really want to split her so I'm gonna use and abuse her and maybe sell one of my others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignsOfDelirium_bassist Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 That's a shame...If I do get the money soon, any chance you'd be willing to sell anyway? It's a long shot, but that bass looks simply amasing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Mr Delirium - yes if you raise the cash, get in touch. I'm getting a better decal put on the headstock . . . . metallic ink . . . . HOW MUCH? oh - $20 for two! I reckon I'll punt the spare out at around £50 what do you reckon PMSL!!

Jacqueslemac Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 How much for the straplocks? At the moment, swapping from my Corvette to my Aerodyne means swapping straps too, which is a pain. (Call me pedantic...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
