andybassdoyle Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 awesome I bet this bass would even make me play better!!
lozbass Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Absolutely lovely - I'm a massive fan of Martin's work. It's hard to tell from the images, but does the plastic battery cover on the back sit proud from the body or is it the latter routed? Also, do you know if the LEDs were fitted from new or were they a later addition? Good luck, a stunning bass
fluffo Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 leds from new, based on the fact that new fits are done by martin and retro fits are done by simms and they ain't simms. The battery plate is metal and is placed over the body oh and its running the east at 18volts with a seperate 9v for the leds in the control cavity.
NickThomas Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 When you say you're looking to go back to a more traditional Jazz 5, do you mean you're looking for one in trade? Lovely bass!! Nick
MoJoKe Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Have a bump on me for a lovely bass which I would love to have, but cannot afford at the moment! Edited July 21, 2012 by MoJoKe
fluffo Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 not sure what way to go, I have gigged twice with over the week end and it has sounded and played fantastic, a high end traditional looking jazz 5 is a posibility. A trade to a GB would be at the top of my wish list.
