Jigster Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) [size=3][b]TOP QUALITY PROFESSIONAL LEVEL INSTRUMENT [/b][/size] [attachment=69611:IMG_8156.JPG] This was bought brand new from Andy Baxter in Hackney - very cool bass, no issues whatsoever. It is of course reliced, and made up to look like it's toured across the States and has been done pretty darn well I'd say. It plays like a dream with two Di Marzio Jazz pups that capture the harmonics of the notes wonderfully. They are pretty grindy, but also produce amazing lows. Passive - vol/vol/tone - All finishing work is in 100% nitrocellulose lacquer. Single action truss rod with heel adjust. Vintage Kluson style tuners. Tusq Nut. Alder body with Rosewood fingerboard. Neck has medium large frets, a 10 radius on the fretboard and is medium C . Weighs: 9lb 8oz. The craftmanshp is fantastic, neck is [b]straight[/b] as a dye, fret finish good, and the whole thing is so sturdy and well made. The profile of the neck is deeper than your average Jazz - more P bass-ish - but it's actually very comfortable once you bond with the bass. It certainly doesn't hinder playing. For those who don't know, Nash are made by Bill Nash in the US - as their website says : "What is a Nashguitar? It's the closest thing to vintage that you can get without taking a second mortgage. It's a hand-crafted guitar with a vintage vibe. It's an old-school electric with new-school parts. It's a guitar set up by a pro to be played by anyone." see here for more info [url="http://www.nashguitars.com/IMHO.htm"]http://www.nashguitars.com/IMHO.htm[/url] Pick up is best. Or will drive within an hour to meet up. Or post at buyer's expense. [b]This comes with a Nash hardcase also[/b] [attachment=69613:IMG_8132.JPG][attachment=69618:IMG_8139.JPG] Edited March 13, 2011 by Jigster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigster Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Bump with info about how good the pick ups are: Di Marzio DP148 The hum-cancelling Ultra Jazz™ takes a traditional Fender® Jazz Bass® sound and really opens it up. Lows are deeper, highs are more percussive, and the mid-range is round but not muddy. Harmonic overtones jump off the strings. It’s also quick; with instant response to either fingers or pick-style playing. There’s only one word for this combination of qualities: musical. Choose the perfectly matched Ultra Jazz™ pair, or try an Ultra Jazz™ bridge pickup with a Split P™ in the middle position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
