Hi everyone,

Here's the third of my basses that I'm putting up for sale to fund a nice microphone for the studio. Had to rank them all in order of how much they get played and these three just haven't been out recently so they're up for grabs.

This is a black 2007 Fender Jaguar Bass, made in Japan. It is all-original, with the exception of some Schaller straplocks (I do not have the original buttons unfortunately).

It is in great condition. Electrics work fine, bass was recently set up/new strings (40s I think) at Chandlers with a medium/high action to get maximum tone with a pick. Loads of room to lower this badboy down if that's what floats your boat.

Neck feels great; super fast and a lovely grain both sides. Typically glossy neck and beautiful aged pearl block inlays.

Finish on the front of the bass is spotless. On the back is a tiny ding which has not cracked or broken the surface. On the bottom of the bass is a rather nastier bump which has hairline-cracked the finish but it's not visible when you're playing or when the bass is on a stand. These look worse in the photos than they do in real life. Unbelievably difficult to photograph an all-black bass!

Sounds like a Jag should: like a Jap 70s Jazz reissue with a beefy pre-amp. Does a good impression of a motown P-bass if you go passive, flick the series switch and play muted. A very versatile instrument.

Got two scratchplates included with this one: the factory original "mint green" one if you want to look like Pino, or a Jeanies black/white/black 3-ply which is, if anything, a better fit and finish than the factory scratchplate (plus looks bad-ass all in black!).

Will be in an old Rockbag gigbag-style soft case, a bit knackered but does the job!

Looking for £450 for this. Pick-up only, cash on collection. Bass is at lockup in Staples Corner, North London; or at my studio in Finchley N3. Not up for sending this in the post, sorry to those of you further afield.

Very nice, chief - typically, as I spend, the basses I had originally looked at become available!

I'll follow the thread. Am listing one of my Stingrays shortly, so might be able to come back to you.

Wasn't really looking for a trade but, thinking about it, I would be interested in a 70s Gibson Ripper. Or a nice Strat or Gibson acoustic guitar. Or a U87, or a Shure SM7. Mic preamps? Cash either way as appropriate, obviously...
