King Tut Posted September 11, 2010 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

King Tut Posted September 12, 2010 Author Posted September 12, 2010 Not much interest - doh maybe I'll have to keep her!!
chriswilliams666 Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 If it is can i have the neck? [quote name='gafbass02' post='953364' date='Sep 12 2010, 10:00 AM']Is that my Christmas body?[/quote]
gafbass02 Posted September 12, 2010 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!

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!
chriswilliams666 Posted September 12, 2010 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 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.

SignsOfDelirium_bassist Posted September 13, 2010 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!
King Tut Posted September 14, 2010 Author 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!!

RareDevil Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 How about only the body with the bridge, shiped in Hungary Budapest?

Jacqueslemac Posted March 17, 2011 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...)
CHRISDABASS Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Its a shame this bass is being split!! looks gorgeous!!
King Tut Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 Hey guys and gals - I've had lots of interest for the individual bits and pieces so will now split the body and bits and pieces. prices up later. Jacques - these are available new from Warwick for just under 3 euros just for the pegs. I'll sell you the pegs and strap fittings for a tenner posted!
