hamfist Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Now withdrawn, sorry. Decided to sell my other bass instead. All proceeds still to charity. See .... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/258045-feeler-possibly-for-sale-all-proceeds-to-charity-black-pj-jazz-alder-and-rosewood-stealth/#entry2719853 First of all ... yes every single penny (plus another 25% as gift aid) from this sale will go towards the charity Tearfund, which works with and supports some of the neediest people on the planet. Now to the bass .... It's a brand new 2 piece guitarbuild.co.uk immaculate ash precision body, routed for PJ pickups. Finished in an unmarked danish oil and wax finish. From previous experience this finish is very durable, and is also a piece of cake to touch up if you do ding it. Total weight is nice and light at a fraction under 8.5lbs. Pickups are a Wilkinson precision pickup and a Tonerider Jazz pickup. These are a fantastic combination together and I also have the exact same pickups in my number one (and will be only remaining) bass. I have wired this to my exact spec. so it's volume and tone knobs only, with a high-quality mini-switch to switch between P pickup only and both pickups 50:50. You could easily replace this with a 3 way switch to allow the J pickup to be soloed too, it's just that is something that I never use. Bridge is a black Schaller 2000 3-dimensionally adjustable bridge. I love these bridges, they lock down nice and solid and also have an easy string change design. Plus being able to spec your own string spacing is also pretty useful. The neck is a Custom World Guitar Parts maple Jazz neck. Rosewood fretboard, with block inlays. This neck is only a year or so old but I have fitted it to 2 or 3 different bodies, so there are a few different screw hole sets on the rear of the heel. Structurally this affects nothing but unfortunately you can just see a pair of filled holes poking out the top of the heel slot (see pic). This is not a biggy to me and is obviously not noticeable in use, but I need to mention it nonetheless. The graphtech nut is cut to perfection and the frets have been "breathed" on to get them playing beautifully. The headstock end and back of the neck are pretty much spotless and unmarked. I have also fitted different tuners to the headstock previously and the current cheap (but very stable and functional) tuners have small baseplates and you can just see a few previous screw holes sticking out from under the base plates (see pic). The answer to this would be to fit a set of tuners with larger base plates if this bothered you. Despite this, it's a great neck, which plays beautifully. Action is medium-low and could easily go lower if you have a lighter touch than me. I strongly prefer these to Mighty Mite jazz necks as they are a bit sturdier and more rigid and I certainly hear that in the tone too. A completely sorted, hugely playable, tone monster of a PJ. All plus a nice, rugged Gator hard case Posted to you in mainland UK for [s]£269[/s] NOW £249 or a bit less if you collect from the Southampton area. I'll happily post to the EU, but contact me for shipping costs. I'd be happy to partially split and sell the fully loaded body for £189 posted (this would be [u]without[/u] the Gator hardcase). It has completely Fender-standard dimensions, so a 63.5mm width neck heel slot. Now pics .....

hamfist Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys. This fine bass is still for sale. It's a great deal. You get a lovely bass, and also get the warm and fuzzy feeling of helping a shedload of people who have absolutely nothing.
