Ziphoblat Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) I'm looking to sell my USA Standard Jazz or trade it. It's a fantastic bass, I've owned it since new in 2010 (it's made in 2009). I'm the first owner, got it from Rich Tone in Sheffield (still have the receipt). I liked it so much that I bought another, and now feel that I'd like a little more variety. It's olympic white, has a red tort guard and a rosewood board (classic look). Comes with the original SKB case which is in pretty good nick (the odd scuff, but nothing that won't clean off, I'll probably do that). It also comes with all the original case candy, tags etc. The bass itself is in great condition, a bit of swirling on the scratchplate as you'd expect of a bass that's been played. Nothing else to note other than a tiny little knock on the side of the body (not visible from the front) smaller than a pea which doesn't break through the finish, just a slight indent. Apart from that it's mint! So, what I'd like is a P bass. I'm not really in a position to add cash to a deal at the moment, nor do I want to "downgrade" so something of equivalent value would be my ideal trade. A simple USA Standard P bass would be great. I'm not really massively keen on weird and/or wonderful finishes, I'd really rather it was just sunburst, black or white. Maple boards preferred but I'll consider rosewood too. But let me know what you've got, you never know. The other basses I'd consider would be more modern styled Jazz basses with maple boards... something like a Sandberg JM or a Lakland DJ... 4 strings is a must! EDIT: I'll take £700 cash for this for a limited time (while the bass I want is still available). Edited June 22, 2012 by Ziphoblat
lynxus69 Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 How about we swap bodies but keep the necks? So you'd have a P-bass with J neck and I would end up with a Jazz bass with Precision neck I like the sound and look of J just not a big fan of narrow necks.
Ziphoblat Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 I'd rather keep it whole, but thanks for the offer... I think something like that could devalue both instruments considerably. Sure you couldn't learn to love the jazz neck?
lynxus69 Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 hmmm..not sure.... I really like the neck on my P-bass.. Anyway the whole idea came from Tim Commerford [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Commerford"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Commerford[/url]
congletonbass Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 mmmm... I've got two Precisions and feel the need the get a jazz to complete the Leo Fender set. Would you be interested in a 2003/04 MIA Precision, sunburst with maple board, vintage white scratch plate and S1 switching? With the original moulded hard case. Can send some pics if you want. Cheers
Ziphoblat Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 [quote name='congletonbass' timestamp='1338539020' post='1675912'] not interested? [/quote] PM'd, sorry mate, managed to miss your post somehow, slightly intoxicated last night.
rogerstodge Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I have a black MIA precision i would consider swapping, cant show any pics at mo as im away til next fri? Cheers
jcater Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Where are you based if i want to have a look at this? This would be with a view to buying not exchange

GrammeFriday Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Have you sold/traded it yet, or still available?
