The case is brand new about a month old, never been out the house, neither has the bass, apart from the garden for the photos Sound reasonable? Cheers.
jakenewmanbass Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 I've played this bass... It made me sound great Great instrument.

Mike Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Well, this looks interesting. I'm going to have a think then maybe PM about a play. Whereabouts in W.London?

Great offer, you have a spiffing Jazz there mate! Sadly, I think I'm after a Warwick or perhaps a Status, a modern bass with great design features. Thanks again, greatly appreciated.
xilddx Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 Mmm, had a couple of interesting trades, but not really for me. I'm thinking my ideal highly reliable, good looking, wonderful playing bass might be a Status Mark King Standard. Anyway, a question. If I put the original electronics back, would this bass sell more easily? is the J-Retro putting off the purists? Cheers, N
xilddx Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 OK, the original electronics are back in and I have uploaded brand new pics. This is all original again and the price is what it should be. Cheers
Clarky Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 I will be purchasing the J_Retro on my return from hols. And I am giving this a bump for the nicest flared trouser and floppy hat wearing bass player I know ... With gloves But seriously folks, Nigel's gear is top notch, so biy this beauty. I would have done if I had not already got a bwautiful Bacchus 62RI Jazz
Clarky Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Apologies for the spelling, am on Blackberry so can barely read what I type. Basically, top guy and top bass!

Mike Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Ah, gutting, was interested in this with the J-retro but still trying to make a decision. Oh well - good luck with the sale

I'll fit it for him too.

In any case, it wouldn't be going back on your word AFAIC But let's leave things as they are then - I think the J-Retro will sound awesome on my Bacchus Jazz..
Mike Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Ah, very kind, but please continue with your sale! I am still dithering, shillying, and shallying! I know it's easy to fit and buy - I'll keep thinking on. Just thinking out loud really - I probably shouldn't have posted!

But it's just a Fender Jazz Bass really, albeit a great playing, great sounding, great looking, beautifully made Fender Jazz Bass.
