martthebass Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) [b]Well nearly a month as gone by and this still ain't getting used so....[/b] Well, I've had this about 3 months and still not feeling the love. Maybe the 35", maybe the wide string spacing, maybe the extra string - dunno, just not getting it. It's a Maple neck black sparkle 2007 build, in about as perfect a condition as it gets (only been out of the house twice and never gigged). The pictures show a white/black/white pg, this has been swapped out with a black/white/black which looks much better to my eyes but the original would be included. Build is stock with (I believe) Lakland OEM Pups - original electronics - no mods. HSC courtesy of Gator - also without a mark. [b]Reduced final price - £750 w/o case, £780 with: Collected only[/b] Thanks for looking, Mart Edited April 11, 2008 by martthebass
OutToPlayJazz Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Hey Mart, I know what it's like not to "click" with a bass. I tried very hard with my KingBass 5 for well over a year, as you know. Hope you find a good home for this one - Loads of players on here certainly love DJ's. Best of luck, mate!
martthebass Posted March 12, 2008 Author Posted March 12, 2008 Cheers Rich. This really is a toughy and I could still easily bail and let this become a 'bedroom bass' as I really don't need a 5er for the work I do. The only reason I got a 5 was so I wasn't embarrassed when I turn up at a jam night when there's only a 5 available. It's the 'prettiest, bass I think I've owned and got a killer tone. I think the 35" really contributes to that but also contributes to my hand strain.
Mike Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I have a 97 USA Fender Jazz 5 if that's of interest?
Huge Hands Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Would you sell it outright? How much for? Just interested.....

Just interested.....[/quote] Sorry mate, daren't have the cash. As the song goes I'd just blow it on 'Liquor and Drugs'. Just Joking Mods - more likely a new tax disc and nearly a full tank of Diesel for the Wife's 4X4 Oh and..........all PM's replied to. Edited March 13, 2008 by martthebass
martthebass Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 Some interesting offers but still looking. Weekend (nearly, sort of Friday feeling) bump

martthebass Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 Monday evening hopeful and optimistic bump
OutToPlayJazz Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Just a little note... I played this bass last weekend at Mart's house. It really is as new, not a single blemish anywhere. Whoever buys this is getting a serious bargain!
martthebass Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 Cheers Rich. That's why the price won't fall any lower. Sorry no 'will you accept £500' here I'll take finger stretching lessons first lol.
martthebass Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 This bass is now off down south to Mr Russ. He will have to teach it to eat Savaloys instead of Bangers....
