I am selling the body of the above Jazz bass.

I have recently bought a P-bass, but I prefer the Jazz neck...plus I like that amount that I've worn it in too!

SO, I am selling the loaded body of the Jazz bass on it's own.

This bass HONESTLY sounds great! Awesome, even tone, and the bridge pickup seems to be especially good for the stock one that it is.

The serial number on the neck is MN5133376 which suggests 1995-1996 a it's a Mexican body.

The scratchplate looks like it's been resprayed black (a rather good job done), but on closer inspection you notice it a little more.

As you can see in the photos, this body has has taken quite a few knocks...obviously nothing that affects the sound, but I think it makes it look nice and vintage

The colour is also rather nice in that it's a deep sunburst, almost slightly orange.

There is also screw-hole on the back as I had my strap button on there (I like the bass to be more central). But I've rescrewed it back to the original position.


£150 please. I live in Brighton, so pick-up if you want, or I can post with express courier for a further £8.

Hi there,

In large venues where I've had to use it as my only backline (volume almost full, and gain about 3/4), when the signal peaks the speakers make a kind of farty distorted sound.

If you have a good compression pedal, then I reckon that will clear it up.

But most venues of that size DI you out anyway, so you'll have anther monitor for that.

But I used it in a large hotel lobby last night (Cavendish Hotel in Eastbourne), and I had the volume on about 4 and it was absoutely fine and sounded great. For reference, I was using a Fender Jazz with relatively old strings, and it still sounds nice and bright thorugh the combo.

So I wouldn't really recommend this if you want it for balls-out rock and cranking it (unless you have an 8ohm cab that you can use with it), but other than that it's a great combo!

Where do you live?

Matt
