aido43 Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Got any more pics?--the neck looks a funny colour in the pic provided.

There will be a delay with the more pics as my camera broke abot 2 days ago...so it could be a week or 2 till I get around getting it repaired or replaced.
jmanfunk Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Hey Mick, Great to see you on here! Welcome to basschat. Guys I've played this bass and the Bart pup and pre really do compliment the instruments overall vintage vibe; warm and articulate but can do the trebley Marcus tone with a little eq. fiddling (without sounding brittle!). Mick is also a gent to deal with ^_^ Good luck with the sale. Jay.
Mickb1773 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 Jay, Thanks for the Bump, All the best, Mick.
Mickb1773 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 I have the Lindy Fralins Pick ups also.I could replace the Bartolinis with Fralins if Desired, All the best, Mick.
Mickb1773 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 I am open to High End Quality trades but there always a but I have had terrible GAS in the past and present and have had/have in my possesiona lot of nice kit (Some I should not have gotten rid off but Hindsight is great thing ) So I am looking for something new....I really must Stop this Ideally I am interested in Wal/Alembic/MTD Trades Possible Sei/Overwater/Shuker
Mickb1773 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 Another Bump... Will probably withdraw from sale shortly as there seems to be a distinct lack of interest in this bass.Could be wrong time with Euro versus Sterling..but I think it is a fair price ..Take Care,Mick.
TimmyC Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Shame this isn't alder rw, otherwise I'd be interested Edited May 5, 2008 by TimmyC
s_u_y_* Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) I'd change the name of the topic. To me at least, it sounds like you already accepted a trade. Good luck with the sale. She looks gorgeous! Edited May 5, 2008 by s_u_y_*

Mickb1773 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Posted May 7, 2008 That as good as the neck can be cleaned...I contacted Dan Lakin himself and even tried GHS polish with a tooth brush as he suggested ..no good.He said the only option after that would be to replace the Fretboard which I am reluctant to do as it does not affect the sound.But thanks for you advice.
dub_junkie Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 A guitar with an oil/wax maple fingerboard I have looked similiar but far more so than this JO. The chap who sold it to me had it refretted with jumbo frets by Feline guitars just before I got it.They either planed or sanded the board and then sealed it so it looked as good as new. excellent job they did too. not much help I know but surely better to play the JO religiously,wear the frets out and then have the above work done I;m sure lovely bass btw
Marcus Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 If you need someone to play it and wear out the frets i'm happy to do that Great Bass...... I'd love to own it but i'm strapped just now !!!
Mickb1773 Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 One very similar has just gone up for sale in the BassGallery (Same finish but aguilar OBp -2 P amp) for £1650...at curent rate of exchange this is going for £1185...nearly £500 cheaper so grab a bargain
