simon1964 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Any chance you will split the parts? I'm looking for a loaded Jazz body, and this would be ideal!

[/quote] Thanks dude - I am in fact running into a PJB Bass Buddy so it's not just the bass running into the soundcard, but it is your typical growly jazz bass sound, and I must also mention that it has the lowest action out of any of my basses. When I had it put together, my tech said he had put almost NO relief in the neck, because it didn't buzz at all no matter how much he lowered the strings! So it's almost dead flat, making fretting an absolute breeze all over the neck, and no buzzing anywhere!

[/quote] I have no idea to be honest, when I bought the body, it was already fully loaded, but the neck pickup was disconnected. I asked my tech to wire it in the way normal Jazz basses were wired, so whatever that is, it's done like that!

[/quote] It's a possibility, but I'd prefer to keep it as a whole bass at the moment. Should I have any interest in the neck and tuners I will consider it. Thanks for your interest!
Higgie Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 Just had a closer look, and it's not actually a standard Fender bridge! It's a string through body bridge. Shows how much time I've spent with this bass since I've had it! It had DR Marcus Miller Fat Beams put on it by my tech when he put it together, and they're the same strings on it now. Granted they're much deader than they were
Higgie Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Open to anything really. I'd prefer a sale as I'm short on cash, but thought I'd put the trade in there in case anything cool gets offered! Wouldn't mind a 5 string Jazz, or a fretless Jazz 4, but as I said, open to anything really. Typically I prefer more 'Standard' basses like Jazz/Precision/Stingray etc. Would also be open to bass + cash offers if the bass in question isn't worth the same amount. So long story short, what would you be offering?
BigBassBob Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Tasty playing Higgie! Good luck with the sale dude I'd be tempted but I'm more of a P-man and I'm in the middle of turning one bass into two frankenstein projects myself lol.
Higgie Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Cheers dude! *Shameless plug Alert* There's more videos on my channel including some Chili Peppers, Stevie Wonder, and Muse Cool, good luck with the projects, I'd be interested to see them when their complete
Higgie Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Would also trade/part ex for a small combo/cab for playing at home. Ideally: Ibanez Promethean Combo Aguilar DB/GS112 Cheers
Higgie Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 Bump. Small cabs/Lightweight Amps/Bass trade offers accepted.
benthos Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Hi Higgie, I have a CIJ P bass FT if you're interested (with cash adjustment). Link here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/157848-new-trade-options-fsft-non-export-japanese-precision-pb62-us-3ts/page__fromsearch__1 If not, thanks for looking and have a bump on me. Great playing on the vids, mate! Cheers, Dave.
Higgie Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 Would also consider trades/part ex on a 6 string bass. Looking to try one
Higgie Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks mate! Had some interest but still available!
Higgie Posted January 14, 2012 Author Posted January 14, 2012 Bump. Need to sell this quick as something has come up that I want to buy! I will listen to reasonable offers...
Higgie Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Now £560. Will still listen to reasonable offers...
Higgie Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 Is this overpriced or something? This is a great looking, playing, and sounding jazz, of US Fender quality, with upgraded DiMarzio pickups, string thru body bridge, and Hipshot hardware (With Detuner), almost 1800 views but no offers? There must be someone who wants a nice Jazz, especially at £550!!
