Shonks Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) this bass is in great condition - great player! the pix are hi res and a little unforgiving - the bass is much prettier in real life, but you're afforded a good look.........

Any chance of weighing it?[/quote] sorry but not weighing anything for the cabin boy except the anchor!! Joking aside, to heavy for the kitchen scales and my bathroom room scales are a joke - what me...over weight.... how dare you!! ...oops...joking again, but it cant weigh a guitar. its too light to be accurate, but I reckon its a lb or 2 over the average.I have a regular type jazz and it is marginally heavier, but its not like a back breaking Alembic or anything silly like that. Could be the retro machine heads that might be doing it, or at least contributing to it. you can always come over and check it out, I wont harass you into buying it, or press gang you into being an unwitting shipmate.

Shonks Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) ok, I know I said no trades, but I think everyone is a bit hard up these days, or at least a lot more cautious with their funds. So if I can't have the money, then maybe I can have a change. I have several Jazz basses, my favorite being a Surf green Jazz with block and bound neck...its the dogs bolleaux. So maybe something far away from that, as the Marcus bass isvery similar. Maybe a Musicman. A five string might be nice, but I'll consider a four too. I already have a fantastic Fender Frankenstein fretless so I wont consider a fretless unless maybe its something very exotic. So check out my Marcus Jazz and make me an offer......looking forward to hearing from you Edited February 13, 2011 by Shonks

Any chance of weighing it?[/quote] These are quite heavy as they're styled on the mid to late 70's Jazz, would be heavier than your Stu Hamm, but not back breakably so, very well laquered as most Jap basses are, bit thinner sound again than your stu hamm but upgradable preamp option, they're a lovely bass.
