KuzBass Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) For sale only (sorry, no trades)! Squier JV series Jazz bass in Olympic white finish, relatively nice condition for its age (made in Japan in early 1984), some dings and marks typical for the age, but not so many of them comparatively to the similar basses for sale in the last couple of months. I believe it was imported from Japan in December last year, that's when I've bought it from the importer as a back up while my main fretted bass is in repair. Very nice for the budget I must say! But my main fretted is coming back from the repair soon and anyway I was lucky to borrow a gorgeous Precision Elite I from another BC'er (thanks Denis!), so this JV Jazz don't get any use in last couple of weeks. Everything is original as far as I know with the only exception of the frets - I've re-fretted it when I've bought it (nicely done job by a local luthier/technician). Everything is fully functional, no issues, the truss rod (single action) functions well, the neck is straight, this bass definitely delivers! I've read the opinions that 1984 differs in quality from 1982-1983, I had no chance to test the early versions, but IMHO this might be not true as this bass is perfect in its simplicity. Located in Latvia, EU. The price is EUR 815.00 which is accordingly GBP 600.00, this includes shipping to to the UK or anywhere in EU (with the neck removed; that's the way it was shipped to me, without any HSC or gig bag; I will pack properly and insure it). I prefer the payment by bank transfer. My feedback is in the Feedback section. Thanks for looking!

KuzBass Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks for the tip chaypup, but once I've tried the changes have not been saved and the message bar said: [b]You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community.[/b] I'd try to convert the images to some other file format than .jpg later on.

Sharkfinger Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Had an '83 JV exactly like this and I assure you it was just incredible. This one is in much nicer condition than my old one. Someone should snap this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Same as mine, erm without the multitude of mods. I've had mine 22 years and I can't imagine being without it. These are incredible basses and this one's at a great price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Got the P version. Wish I could have this too, Olympic White. Who could resist.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 sh*t. My year of birth bass. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuzBass Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks for nice comments! I've realized there's one mod made by me I forgot to mention - I've cut the hole in the pickguard to be able to reach the truss rod without removing the neck. I don't have any extra pickguards for this bass! I still can't upload the pics, so I've added them to photobucket gallery (these 3 pics also show the new frets). Please note: the bass is not that yellow as in these three pics, it's just the lamp in my room which makes it look this yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
