Floyd Pepper Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Hi, Up for grabs is my 2009 Fender Marcus Miller Jazz Bass in Olympic White. Excellent condition with only a couple of minor surface marks (they don't really show up in the photos). What makes this one slightly special is that I managed to track down a 2 Band Bartolini TCT preamp which is no longer made and which I understand is the same preamp installed on Mr. Millers '76 Jazz by Roger Sadowsky. This really gives it some ooomph. It's currently strung with signature DR 45-105 and I also have the original preamp and the neck p/u cover/screws although I currently do not have a gig bag or any packaging at the moment so ideally looking for a close meet or pickup. I'm based near J13 M25 near Heathrow. Price is £795. [attachment=102009:P1000683.JPG] More photos to follow. Personally, I love these active MIJ basses and I'm actually keeping my other sunburst MM Jazz as I need the option of the passive tone control provided by the East Marcus Retro. Any questions, just ask. Cheers, Jim Edited September 27, 2012 by Floyd Pepper
Linus27 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Hey Jim, really surprised you are selling this. I remember you saying that you loved this bass and how amazing it is. I thought you would never part with it. You have your eye on something else? How is the Status, you still have that Have a bump on me for a lovely bass. Oh and if anyone wants this, Jim is a great guy and true to his word.
RichF Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 great bass with at least one active thread on Items Wanted. I have the natural but think the white is the best MM.

I remember you saying that you loved this bass and how amazing it is. I thought you would never part with it. You have your eye on something else? I'm still keeping hold of my sunburst Marcus Jazz which I have the John East Retro preamp installed on. Both are great basses but I've decided to keep hold of the East preamp as it's got just a bit more versatility with the mid boost/cut and the passive tone. Having two MM Jazz's just seemed excessive. How is the Status, you still have that Yep, still looking all carbon and lighty uppy.If only I had the skill to go with it Have a bump on me for a lovely bass.

MB1 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 MB1. "Dont usually like Fenders Jim but this is delicious!"
SisterAbdullahX Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Yes Jim, it is lovely! Would dearly love it but a bit more than I have to spend. Will be very jealous of whoever gets it! Have a bump on me, mate.
Rayman Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Too far for me to travel unfortunately, but it's a cracker that.
Floyd Pepper Posted June 9, 2012 Author Posted June 9, 2012 Hi RB, Yes, a few people are interested but still available. Cheers, Jim
Rowley Birkin QC Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 If I can sell this in time I'll be in touch. [attachment=110054:PICT1600.JPG]
Floyd Pepper Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 Now open to trading for a Fender Jazz 24 + cash
Floyd Pepper Posted September 4, 2012 Author Posted September 4, 2012 Back from hols bump. There seems to be a glut of MM's at the moment but maybe somebody is looking for something a little different.
