Lysdexia Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Hi guys - only had this for about a week and I like it, but I'm still hankering after an everyday jazz. I stuck an ad in the wanted section to that effect and I've had a few offers, two of which are simmering and may yet come to fruition. On a less important note, but a valid point nonetheless, at 50 I can't stop thinking this makes me look like an even stupider old twat clinging to his youth by every means available. So, if I sell it I'd like back the £395 it owes me and that cash would go towards a jazz. Or - preferred - a trade for a jazz with cash either way. I'm in no mad rush as this bass is not only sounding the bollocks and is in great condition, it also plays beautifully thanks to the fab setup provided by TOM1946 who had it before me. He could also confirm I'm not making a single penny on this should any of the site communists be concerned we are rushing headfirst into a cesspit of capitalism. Edited November 30, 2010 by Lysdexia
Lysdexia Posted November 30, 2010 Author Posted November 30, 2010 Yep, I always try my best to ensure that everything I offer is a beauty.
warwickhunt Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Do some photoshop trickery to make it Sunburst and I'd have had it!

tom1946 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) This IS a remarkable Jag, I also earthed the cavities so there is no hum at all. It really does stand at £395 Edited November 30, 2010 by tom1946
The GroovyPlucker Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Awesome Basses, Awesome Colour too, and you're never too old to enjoy it, be 50+ and proud!
Mickeyboro Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I'm worried (hijacking the thread slightly) – I'm 55 and yesterday got a metallic blue 50s CV Precision from Bumnote...who may be even more 'mature' than me. What are the rules?

Paul S Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Pose-wise Jaguars are fine into your 50s, I reckon. T-Birds are stretching it though... Nice basses, still in love with my stealth one.
tom1946 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I'm 64, (mentally 32.5) and I'll stand there with anything that takes my fancy, even pink!

Lysdexia Posted November 30, 2010 Author Posted November 30, 2010 As stated earlier - it's in great nick
Lysdexia Posted November 30, 2010 Author Posted November 30, 2010 Another angle as requested - cheers for all the interest!
Clarky Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Don't suppose you fancy a TC amp instead of a Jazz? Am guessing not!

One proviso - Tom1946 also attends and gives a demo/tips on setting up a bass. i've paid for pro-setup jobs that aren't close to the wonderful work he's done with this jaguar.
