Jono Bolton Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Hi all! I've got an unusual one here, it's a Marcus Miller Jazz Bass but with a maple Mighty Mite Jazz neck and 70s style Hipshot tuners. I bought the Body on here about 2 years ago and previously had an Allparts neck on it which wasn't much good, so I put the Mighty Mite neck on it which is a million times better. I put all this together about a year ago but I'm thinking about swapping for a Precision, preferably Sunburst or black. The body's completely stock, all electrics working, and I sourced all the other parts myself, neck, tuners, neck plate etc. I've also got the pickup cover for the neck pickup. The action's really nice and it's a dream to play and it sounds good too! It's in really good condition too with the exception of a mark on the back of the neck and a hole in the headstock where, like a chump, I drilled straight through while putting on the tuners. Both of these are included in the pictures. Could do with a new set of strings and when I received the body the Micro tilt screw for adjusting the neck was AWOL, so it's just shimmed normally to accomodate the Badass II. If anyone is interested you can contact me via the mobile number on my profile under 'Interests' as I don't get on here often!

tom1946 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'm intrigued. How low can you get the action without rattling? I've owned a couple of MM's and couldn't get a good, really low action which is important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've owned a couple of MM's and couldn't get a good, really low action which is important to me.[/quote] To be honest I'm not completely sure. I had it set up last February and haven't adjusted it since, and the action's quite low. I normally have the action set at low-to-medium, and this is probably the easiest playing bass I've owned. However there is a little bit of buzz and clank, but amplified it's never been a problem. Over the weekend I'll get my ruler out and measure the string height for you.

Jono Bolton Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Another bump! Would consider a trade for a Squier VM or CV P Bass & cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 A monumental electric bill means this is now for sale (preferable to a trade unless it's bass + cash). I'm looking for £400 ono. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Bolton Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Killing 2 birds with one stone by bumping, and pointing out that these pictures are from last summer, the neck has aged nicely since then and doesn't look so anaemic! The same goes for the Tusq nut, which has gone slightly brown with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faiz0802 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I'd buy this right now if it wasn't for the mighty mite neck... I'm kinda looking for the whole package, unaltered.. Have the electronics been altered in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The passive sound is classic Jazz, with the pre-amp on it sounds huge! Apologies for the neck, I bought the body on here from another Basschatter who used the neck in a project of his own.

faiz0802 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Ah. I see. Where are you located? Any chance I can come round and have a look at the bass? Also, is the original neck available anywhere, I'd like to mod it back to original sometime incase I like what you're offering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the original neck, I bought the body from Mr Fudge, you'd need to contact him to see if he's looking to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faiz0802 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Will do. I'm out out town for a week or two, but I'll definitely let you know if I can make it to Glasgow and see you. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
