dmz Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) Folks, This beauty is 6 months old and in mint condition I know I'm going to regret letting her go but I have GAS for something older at the moment. Plays beautifully as you might imagine and that extra pickup spices things up when you dial it in. Comes with a Lakland vintage hard shell case. Looking for £1250 with no offers or part exchange deals with other things I'm afraid. There is a nine month waiting list for these puppies at the moment - mine took just over 8 months to arrive. Comes with an extra pickguard from Jeannies - a mirror one should you wish to get more of a 70's vibe out of the instrument.

dmz Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi, No subsequent mods - came with the J from birth at Lakland - you do know that the J is NOT a single coil in the US Bob Glaub - it is a humbucker just like the P pickup - but they call it a linear humbucker - perhaps to give it a more traditional PJ ook..........doesn't alter the fact that it sounds great - you get a slightly fuller bodied edge to the sound that a single coil doesn't quite muster - works great on Who covers ! I am based in South Wales - near Cardiff Cheers Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmz Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Folks, Any interest ?? Still available.......... Possibly could swap for a 5-string with 24-frets/26-frets (hint !)and maybe some spondoolies......i.e., Valenti, Warwick Thumb 5NT, Status Stealth etc, etc....

paul, the Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Ugh, that was so poorly written. You know what I mean. Best of luck with the sale, dmz. I'm sure it'll shift.

dmz Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Yeah - I do know what you mean Standard is the 1.75 inch width - which the above bass has - apparently based on an old 64 P-bass (C-profile) that Dan Lakland owns. An option is the 1.50 inch width - so called Jazz-taper - or A-profile in old Fender speak....... I have a Japanese Fender Precision- see avatar above - that has a B-profile neck (1.65 inch width) - a stormer of a neck - will put some piccies of it in the porn section soon....

dmz Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Dave, Will try and get a piccie to you in the next few days - I bought it from Jeannies. Nash - are you going to the bassbash ? - I think I'd like to go - could take a bass or two along - Dark Starred P-bass and maybe my MTD Z6 - I could give one or two people a lift or, if there is space, could share the cost of a lift in someone elses vehicle. I'm actually based in Newport...........but of Scottish extraction. Sounds painful I know, ouch ! Cheers Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) im currently going with oldgit. he might still have a space left. bring the mtd for sure. obbm is bringing his DD with DS pup. edit: i just remembered what p bass you had so bring that. i forgot how sweet it is Edited February 21, 2008 by nash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
