wombatboter Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I'm trying to cut down in my bass collection so I decided to put this Fender for sale.. When I bought it it needed some repairing: I noticed that there was a crack in one of the block inlays. The neck also needed adjusting and I took it to a Belgian luthier and he gave the bass a good set-up, gave it a refret and repaired the block-inlay.. I played it ever since without any problem but lately I don't use it anymore since I prefer the more wooden tone of my Sandberg bass.. I'm asking 1400 euros for it but I don't have a case for it. I could get hold of a gigbag eventually. This bass delivers the classic Jazz ingredients, has a nice Miller-slap and a nice growl when played fingerstyle.. Other remarks : this is a refinish, the pickups are Seymour Duncans and the bass has a Badass bridge. A local pick-up is preferred but I could ship this bass also well packed.. I took a couple of pictures and recorded a short youtube thing to give an impression of the sound. For more information or questions feel free to contact me.. Not really looking for trades but perhaps I could be persuaded with ... who knows (not really looking for "rock" basses though) Thanks for looking Geert [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XycWQZbG9wE[/media]
martthebass Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Stunning bass Geert, That's the second 1976 Jazz thru this forum in as many weeks. I'll just have to content myself with a 2002 special run 'copy' for the time being. Bump.
pierreganseman Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 for uk people that's about £1150... proper bargain...
Kiwi Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Wow love that fingerboard. I'd have this in a flash if I could sell my sunburst Spector.
Cairobill Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I used to have a 76 J...miss it still That is a beautiful bass. How much does it weigh?
wombatboter Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks for the feedback.. Answered all the pm's I got.. I can ship this bass to the UK for around 30 euros safely packed. To avoid confusion : this is not a re-issue bass.
wombatboter Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 Got some pm's with bass chatters who asked to pay with paypal.. Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned but I do my transactions through an international moneytransfer and I would prefer the same for my sales. I've got nothing to hide, I think I have an okay reputation around here on bass.chat (check my feedback) so I hope that I come across as someone who can be trusted.. I can understand that these are dangerous times but I always had good experiences here on bass.chat...I always had transactions with top class persons who turned out to be very trustworthy.
Papou Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Geert is a 200% honest seller, and in my opinion this bass is a lot better (and cheaper ) that a Custom Shop.
Chris Horton Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 That is a super cool bass Best wishes with the sale, I don't think it will hang around too long
wombatboter Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks for the kind reactions, means a lot to me.. The bass is currently on hold..
