Paul S Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) I [s]am thinking of[/s] selling my Fender Jaguar. I use either my Power Jazz Special or the Bass Collection more at the moment and, frankly, could do with releasing some cash to help fund some lightweight amp/cabs that I need to get. Had it from new for a couple of years. I replaced the original creamy white scratchplate with this black one - looks sexier IMO and the bass is now called 'The Panther'. But I still have, and will include, the original. It has only tiny marks on it, nothing much. a little buckle rash at the back - the scratch plate has pick marks on it - they might even polish out, I don't know. One thing I never got around to doing was sorting out the slight hum these jags have when you take your hand off the metal. It is what they do and easily fixed, I am told - I just never did. Currently it has no strings on it - I took off a set of Thomastik flats which I can put back on, or send it stringless for you do use what you like. I won't list all the doings - active, 2 band eq, 2 pups that can be switched series or parallel. Can also be played passive. Beautiful skinny and thin Jazz profile neck - I think it is similar to the Geddy Lee one - with block inlays. Etc etc. A vast array of sounds available. I believe they don't make these any more. Anyway - I am thinking £500, including one of those SKB soft/hard cases but excluding postage extra. Any interest out there?

Batfastard Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Any idea how much the postage would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adledman Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 pop the neck off and send it with parcelmonkey for around £7.50 they use citylink and its a next day service. i have had no problems at all with them and must have used them 25-30 times. you can add insurance for not a lot more if you need it but i have never bothered. it really is a top service and no i dont work for them. ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robriccetti Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Sweet bass! Would you consider sending it to Germany? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 I will look into the various postage options and report back - I guess posting to Germany is going to be expensive but I would be prepared to do it - once it is packed for transit it doesn't really matter where it goes. I just get nervous about couriers and postage and the all seem to have a long history of parcel abuse. Haverhill I'd probably rather deliver it for petrol money and eliminate any risk - which would be a viable option, guys, for anyone within about 100 miles or so. Or meet half way, that kind of thing. This is a definite 'For Sale' now. I'll dig out the serial number and take more pics if anyone wants any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 What a lovely looking bass, Even though it looks suspiciously Jazz0like, I'm almost tempted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 I had a little noodle around on it before James came along and, well, nearly changed my mind. It really is lovely - the neck in particular is just *so* nice. But it isn't my #1, and it is too expensive to remain my #2, so it had to go and add to the 'lightweight rig' fund.

tarcher Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Fair decision. I couldn't forsee letting my red one go,not for a good while any way. And that neck,it just has a rightness about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
