steve Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) I quite fancy having another crack at fretless, so I'm offering up my Bachhus jazz as potential trades fodder. Not entirely sure I want to move it on yet but we'll see what happens. I bought the bass from Clarky recently for £499, so that's the value I'm pitching at, and I'm definately not desparate to shift it so I won't be entertaining any low ball offers. I'll consider px's with cash my way, but don't want to put any cash into the deal. I'll get some pics up if there's any interest, but as I say i'm still mulling this over [attachment=88894:IMAG0356.jpg] more pics are available [url="http://flic.kr/s/aHsjw9aQh5"]on my flickr page here[/url] I added the tort pickguard, I still have the original mint coloured one, which I'm happy to include. The bass is a bit more surf greeny than these pics show Edited September 11, 2011 by steve
Clarky Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 This is a cracking Jazz with a beautiful nitro finish ( originally sonic blue but faded to a sort of sea foam green) and a really fast neck. As good as a Fender custom shop Jazz IMHO (new prices for Bacchus 62Js are similar to Fender CS too so £499 was a bargain! )
2x18 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 How about my Unlined fretless? Photos on this thread! --Page 3 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=150742&hl=mighty"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...2&hl=mighty[/url] mite&st=40 Will.
LukeFRC Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 that bass seriously temped me when it was up, if it wasn't for the fact I am funding my masters it possibly would have been mine..... wish I had a fretless to trade. I don't

Clarky Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) I will add the bass is a LOT more surf greeny than it appears in Steve's pics - sadly I have deleted my old pics so I cannot chip in here. Edit: here is a g**tar in a similar colour to how I remember the Bacchus [attachment=88899:surf1ewrbtrebt.jpg] Edited September 7, 2011 by Clarky

steve Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) bit of sunshine in manchester, so I had a go at a pic in the natural light [attachment=89014:IMAG0363.jpg] It still doesn't do it justice tho - must be my pesky phone camera or something. Anyway, I have a couple of offers I'm mulling over, so one last bump for any latecomers Edited September 9, 2011 by steve
