LukeFRC Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Hello, something's come up I would like to buy. Before I did I would have to sell this.... lovely bass- cracking condition. Same price as Ricks, £1200, including a hardcase (not perfect condition) plus postage if you need. These are shooting up in value, for the quality I can see why. Questions can be answered lots more photos here: [url="http://s1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee497/LukeFRC/JV/"]http://s1230.photobu...497/LukeFRC/JV/[/url] amazing bass, if my dream bass hadn't come up then I would happily keep this forever! As the dream bass won't be on sale for long this ad will be coming down as soon as it is sold. I wouldn't sell this otherwise. Obviously no trades! cheers for looking! [Back up to see if any interest Edited November 30, 2012 by LukeFRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashwood1985 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hi Luke, So the JV is £1200? Sorry If I'm being slow: didn't seem clear to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Did the Yamaha come via Horizontalste, by any chance? If so then the added pup and selector switch probably came off my old BB450. Edited September 21, 2012 by alyctes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were £200 back in 1983? I dunno, i'm thinking Rick's preaching might not result in someone wanting it enough buy it so I can pick up the other bass I've seen, which is fine- if this doesn't all work out I can live with that! Taken apart from the "value" it's a better instrument than an awful lot of the similarly priced usa standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] will take some later today BTW if someone's interested in the JV feel free to PM me an offer- I can only say no, and if it lets me get the bass ive seen, well I'll be happy! Also got a POD on sale if you want to add that into the mix Edited September 22, 2012 by LukeFRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 okay. I think I'm going to keep this for the mean time. The bass is still there but the lack of even low ball offers makes me think that theres nout interest at all in the JV. The Yamaha is still available but I'm going to keep a separate sales thread for that once I've got the pictures. cheers Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 So the bass. im after is still available and, well I'm tempted to put an offer in on it... so ill listen to offers on this if there is any interest even if below my price, got a bass pod I can add to sweeten any deal, yeah. Let me put it this way, I doubt there is a better passive fender bass on basscha this year. Try it out at mine in Leeds, (or can go. to edinburgh with me this weekend if you pm me tonight, ill be free sun afternoon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblueplanet Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Oh man, i remember this bass really well. I was after my first ever bass in 1982 but didnt have enough for a Squier. I remember the jazz bass being £250 and the precision at £230. Me and my older brother played them and loved them but with me also being a lefty i was pretty much scuppered. In fact that same year you could pick up a 70's USA precision for £120 and a 60's jazz for under £300 in Glasgow. My brother must have had 3 or 4 during the 80's before settling with a musicman sabre. Ive just acquired a 57 re-issue lefty Fender precision cij which looks identical to the one here minus the pickguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I used to have a '57ri CIJ (not lefty) looked the same- very different instrument to this though- I was surprised at the difference in tone. The 57-US model CIJ and the USA series AVRI '57ri are closer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) anyway... I have a feeling no one's interested. so may just keep it and play it, one last bump? Edited October 4, 2012 by LukeFRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblueplanet Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Here's a few pics of my lefty '57 Fender Precision CIJ with gold anodised pickguard for comparison.

LukeFRC Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 It's backwards! I had a CIJ and stuck an anodized plate on it. I like them, good for recording as it's easy to ground the thing Oh btw to anyone looking, you may have noticed i've stopped bumping this. I don't think it's going to go anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
