Motocross_nick Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Hi all, not sure if i really want to get rid of this but the thought has been coming up in my mind of passing it on. Great bass for the money (many say the best budget bass out there atm, I myself believe it is much better even as stock than any MIM jazz ive played) bought off paul h on these forums not that long ago. Since i bought it ive put in a j retro pre amp and a badass2 bridge (came with the EMG's). everyone raves about these basses but in the long run i just dont think jazz basses are for me if you're interested pm me an offer and we'll take it from there pics to be up shortly.. EDIT: Got 2 pics up, but they were taken before the badass2 bridge was put on and the j retro. Will have new pics up asap. cheers Edited June 21, 2008 by Motocross_nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I think you'd be getting more interest if you'd kept the original p'ups in there do you still have them by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the EMGs are pukka ones and not 'selects' then I'd sooner have those installed than the stock pups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernmeister Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 + 1 with warwickhunt on this one. That would be one of the first upgrades i'd do if i had one of these basses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motocross_nick Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 No i dont have the original pickups, but the EMG's are the real deal, not just the select model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I know you said they were coming but piccies and price would be cool. Sounds a nice bass with great mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MoJo Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Have a look at this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120266537903&_trksid=p3907.m32&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching"]pimped VMJ[/url] . Snapped up on eBay for £350.....yes £350. Fitted with EMG's, a tort guard, 'vintage' control knobs and a Fender decal on the head. No sooner had I been notified of it's presence by email than it was sold. My initial thought when I saw it was 'NO WAY'....£350 for an Indonesian Squier! They're having a laugh. Who's laughing now?

I must admit that having owned a VMJ, the pups do have some nice tones but the output is quite low and many owners seem to rip them out in favour of EMG's or Wizards and the like Edited May 28, 2008 by bassman2790 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Yeah, i can see that side of the argument, which is partly why both of my current basses are active, i'm reluctant to go back to passive but i'm thinking about it. Also those p'ups you linked to are also advertised for £20 in the other musical stuff section on here by a fellow chatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not "vintage" sounding but they're the nuts IMO. How much does this bass weigh, by the way? I'm on the lookout for a fairly light bass and I think I was looking at one a little while ago but perhaps decided that it was any lighter than my current jazz (9.2 lb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
