Lozz196 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) One "bitsa" 70s Jazz bass - Now sold. The good bits: Genuine road-wear, looks great, blocks n maple, mmmmm Wizard Pickups Gotoh Reverse Tuners Very resonant Ideal back-up Funky "complete fake" decal The not-so good bits: As its a bitsa there`s an approx 1mm gap around the neck pocket - as said, very resonant anyway so doesn`t affect sound One of the screws for the bridge has ground off - the middle one of 5 - doesn`t affect the bridge fixing, or the tension on the bridge (plenty of basses only have 3 screws on the bridge anyway, this has 4) Being a bitsa the action is not particularly low - the neck would need packing to get real low action So £135 for this rather nice bass, delivered to your door within the UK. Happy with paypal (but no fees) bank transfer or cash. No trades thanks. Edited April 9, 2015 by Lozz196
Lozz196 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Posted February 14, 2015 [quote name='theyellowcar' timestamp='1423916666' post='2690320'] Nice. What's the weight like Lozz? [/quote] It`s not too heavy Dave, but not a lightweight either. I`ve not got any scales but in comparison to my 2008 Precision, which I know is about 8.8lbs, it feels a bit heavier so I`d put it at 9.3lbs at a guess.

Not that the original seller is pulling a fast one, I`ve dealt with him before and all was well above board.
TheGreek Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 This is such a bargain....surprised there's been no interest..have a bump
