KevinJazzBass Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) Hi guys, I'm thinking of selling one of my basses because I'm going to China in the new year for a 4 month hotel contract and I'm wanting to get a custom build bass made (by our own Wes) to take with me. The bass is fantastic to play and I love the awesome precision tone. I have used it with Labella flats for a great Jamerson type sound and with Roundwounds it nails that classic Foxton/Simonon/Thomas P tone. The neck is from a US Jazz bass that I bought in 2005 and the body is from a US Vintage Reissue 62 Precision I bought last year on here. I loved the sound of the P but after a month I still wasnt getting on with the wider neck, so I swapped the neck of my favourite Jazz and this Franken-Fender was born. The bass is fantastic to play, the neck feels great and the truss rod works perfectlly. The bass will come with a vintage reissue fender hardcase (that came with the precision) plus the pick up and bridge covers. The pictures are in a thread I made over in the porn section... just click [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=102981&hl=jv+jazz+bass"]Here[/url] I'd be looking for offers in the region of 700 for the bass. Any questions then please dont hesitate to get in touch. Thanks Kev Edited January 9, 2011 by KevinJazzBass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassotaiteilija Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi Kev! I've always wanted to try one of these, haven't seen too many floating around Helsinki though. As a feeler, I might be interested. How do you [u]feel[/u] about shipping to Finland? Cheers! Joona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreaker Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Now if this had a rosewood board, block inlayes & bound Jazz neck it would be my ideal bass, been looking for one to turn up for ages. Good luck with the sale, very nice bass, cheers, Munk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinJazzBass Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Heartbreaker, I know what you mean, I do love the look of a bound and blocked rosewood board. Big fan of maple too, I really like the contrast between the body and fingerboard. Hi Joona, I would be happy to ship to Finland, I have shipped a bass to Europe in the past and not had any problems. The shipping did cost about £50 though. Thanks guys. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no problems with Interparcel (cost about £70 from memory) and Joona is a highly trustworthy guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassotaiteilija Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi again! Thanks! I'll keep my eye on this, if it becomes more than a feeler. ----- Clarky, thanks for the kind words. Hope to do business with you again! Cheers! Joona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) This is exactly the bass ive been thinking about putting together next year, other than a black PG. Im gutted i cant afford it right now though (unless my LMII sells quickly). Good luck with the sale and have a great time in China.

Stuee Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hi Kev, what did you with the neck you took off the Precision? If you've still got it, would you consider selling it? Cheers, Stuee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
