joemarty Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Anyone interested in this beautiful bargain?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemarty Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Maybe the last bump for this. Thinking that maybe I should hang on to it, can't drop the price any lower and no firm takers :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1711 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Still thinking about it. Guess I may need to get a move on! Not owned a Jazz before. I tried a new USA Standard on Saturday in a shop which was quite nice although still too bright for me and the action was too high. How does this compare in your opinion? Please don't pull the ad for a couple of days at least. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmachine Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 [quote name='joemarty' timestamp='1401805127' post='2467039'] Hi, I'm afraid I've already had interest from a fellow bc'er from Czech Republic and as I explained to him I'm not too keen sending the bass to Europe. I've heard horror stories of things going missing or taking months to get delivered I really don't want to take the risk with such an expensive and beautiful bass. I'm really sorry. [/quote] Stories are like farytales.... All have one to say:) A good package and a hardcase and all its ok. I traded-sold-bought from Basschaters (and some basses costs a lot more than fender) ,up from 10 basses and no issue and i live in Greece so dont worry......Make someone happy:) Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly costs them quite a bit in lost business in my personal experience. Bright? Could be new strings, amp, lots of things. Flats, older strings, foam dampeners will soon put a stop to that. Action, well, MOST used basses come quite well set up. Even if they don't, the technical section of Basschat is your friend. Even I learned how to set basses up from here, and I'm 1400 years old. Well, I feel it this morning Bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm overly cautious really. That's encouraging to hear someone with positive things to say about sending basses abroad. Maybe I should look into it again :-) thank you!

Agree with Karl with regard to shop basses and also every bass you'll try will feel different. I use an american standard as my everyday go to bass and it's a different feel to this american vintage... The AV really does look and feel and sound like a vintage bass. I find it's eq more versatile than the standard but I'm sure others might disagree. It's all a matter of taste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I would love this bass but as I don't have the cash I could only offer a trade. I already have the AV 62 Precision reissue from the same period and know that they are fantastic basses. Someone should hopefully snap this up as it is a great bass at a great price.
