Veils Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Not so long ago, I bought a MIM Jazz with the intention of doing it up for using in my new band. I've decided I probably should have bought a 5 string as the downtuning involved is a bit much and I don't like playing with super floppy strings. So I'm looking to trade this for a similar bass, but 5 string. Obviously, I'd put cash in for the trade. I don't have pics at the moment, but I can upload some tonight. It's quite a looker - white, black scratchplate, rosewood board. There's a small chip in the paint but it's not really visible as it's where the neck joins the body and there's a small mark in the back of the neck, again not noticeable. It's also had Wilkinson pickups put in it and the originals are available. I'll also throw in a mega Protection Racket case (it's a seriously good case!). If anyone has anything they might like to throw at me, let me know and like I say I am willing to put cash in. Edit - Trade only really. If someone wanted to take it for cash, I paid £280 and I won't let it go for any less. Edited July 29, 2011 by Veils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veils Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Well I have, but I'd probably rather have a 5 string if possible. If I don't find anything then I will maybe have to do that. I was trying to avoid doing that because as soon as I string it like that, I lose interest in playing the bass outside of band practice. I wouldn't want to noodle around on a bass tuned that low if you know what I mean? And also I've got a brand new Audere waiting to go in it!

Gust0o Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Haha, don't fancy a 4-string MIM P? I've confirmed myself as a Jazz man; but am afraid the trade would only compound your 4-string woes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veils Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Probably not ideal I think the original trade is definitely on now though Edited July 21, 2011 by Veils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
