Moos3h Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Hi folks, Having JUST bought this from richardd (deal with confidence, he's a top bloke), I've gotta move it on quickly as I've just landed myself a rather nice old Squier that I'm so happy with. This is a superb bass - it's got the real feel of a good old Jazz, regardless of what you consider about the relicing (which is the standard Fender stuff, it's not been added to) the body resonates in a way that modern Jazzes just don't. The neck is stunning too and I was considering popping it onto the Squier but I'm not going to. It's an awesome thing that I love to bits but just cannot justify it at all. So, grab it while you can. Collection only or personal delivery anywhere between Manchester and Leeds for petrol money. Comes with hard case.

iconic Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Ohh, lovely, does it still come with the case James? Post not possible? Edited July 2, 2013 by iconic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaaclefunkymakak Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Excellent price for an excellent bass! And maple neck look like birdseye Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos3h Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Yeah, comes with a bog standard hard case and I can post, but it'd take a few days to organise as I'd want to make sure I could get the stuff to package it up properly! Postage would be about £15 + insurance via Interparcel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
such Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Extremely interested! What's under the pickguard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos3h Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 I keep a sandwich under there for longer gigs Actually, I've no idea, I've never removed it - what would you expect to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I think the query is because there is generally a little circular rout under the pick guard and they are stamped 'road worn' to distinguish them from the standard reissues. Lovely bass by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
such Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I was just curious, as apparently early runs didn't have that cnc hole, and I do prefer my jazzes guardless, for sonic and aesthetic reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaaclefunkymakak Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 There is an hole on my jazz RW 2010, so, it's not very aesthetic if you want to have the Jaco style or a clear pickguard. Here is a PB RW body (with the same f***** hole:)!): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
such Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 It wouldn't really be a deal breaker, unlike a big route around the neck pickup. That round cnc hole could easily be covered by a Hello Kitty sticker or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

such Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Cool! No ugly swimming pool around the pickup I see more people wanting this bass and to be honest I still haven't decided between this and one of the marcuses here, but I may give you a shout in a few days when my tax return cheque clears if you still have it, that is!

Moos3h Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm guessing its just there to stop you from removing the scratchplate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
such Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I've read somewhere that the first run of RWs in 2008 didn't have that hole, yours might be from that era, [b]maldy[/b]. Officially, it's some sort of a guide for cnc machines. But really, it's there to stash things while going through customs at an airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] With regards to customs, maybe they should make the hole bigger then! ;-) You are absolutely right my bass is probably 2008-2009 judging from the serial no. Anyway, great bass and I've already passed this on to a few friends. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
