simon1964 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) NOW SOLD I've decided to move on my Classic 70s Jazz reissue. The pickups had been replaced with Delano JMVC4FE/M2 pickups before I bought it. I've also since added a John East J retro. Excellent upgrades and it looks and sounds incredible. I'm only selling because I don't get on with Jazz necks (this is the fourth I've owned - I ought to have learnt by now!). I will also include a Gotoh 201 bridge which i was planning to fit, but which I haven't got round to doing yet! These pics are from an earlier for sale thread before the J-retro was added (hope that's OK with the previous owner). My camera has died but will get some pics of the J retro asap! Mint except for a small crack in the laquer above the bridge pickup, caused by my clumsiness when adjusting the pickup height. Its hardly noticeable but only fair that I mention it. Looking for £475 plus postage (hopefully a fair price - the Delanos, J-retro, and Gotoh bridge would cost the best part of £400!). I'm happy to consider trades with cash either way, so feel free to try me. I would be particularly interested in '51 reissue Precision, five stringers, pretty much anything with a P/J or P/MM configuration, or even a Telecaster thinline reissue (long shot, but if you don't ask...).

Lozz196 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I had one of these, and they are great basses as standard, with an upgrade on the pickups it must sound amazing. The addition of the Gotoh bridge also adds a fair bit of depth to the sound, so this is a great bass for the money. Someone is gonna be very happy with this one.

tom1946 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 If my Precision Protone sells I'll have it.
Ou7shined Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Holy crap that's the bargain of the year right there.
malbass Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Hey, my old bass!! I was responsible for putting the Delano's in and can confirm that they vastly improved the sound over the stock pick ups, I bet it sounds even better with the J Retro.
Raslee Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Bloody bargain!!! I've put delano's in my Jazz, superb pick ups!!!

It does sound fantastic with the Delanos and the J Retro. All PMs replied - some very tempting trade offers, but nothing final as yet!
