MuseMatt Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) I've tried looking for a thread like this but couldn't find it. I need to know a bit about some old basses I could get, but can't find too much information on. First there's a MIJ Fender Jazz, built between 84-87. How were the Japanese builds at that time? One tuner has been replaced. Current bid around 500 euro's, I could easily top that. [url="http://fotos.marktplaats.nl/kopen/1/00/GXZXY+ulDuqJh8L7SVYmuQ==.jpg"]http://fotos.marktplaats.nl/kopen/1/00/GXZ...8L7SVYmuQ==.jpg[/url] (can't get image tag working for some reason) Also there's this funny bass, A bass collection 'The Jazz' Lindy Fralin pickups, Aguilar OBP-3 preamp, Swamp Ash body & Ebony neck Would cost me about 600 euro's which is approx 475 pounds Could any of these basses be worth buying over a new Fender Jazz (so the 2008 series without S1 switching)? I play desert rock (think QOTSA, Masters of Reality) Help appreciated Edited August 27, 2008 by MuseMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 The Fralins and Aguilar pre would be worth a couple of hundred quid on their own. The 2nd Jazz looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escholl Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 If it were me, i would be all over that second one. i've got some fralin's in my bass -- amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I don't know what this says about me but I read the title as Old Breasts - and then ventured inside for a peek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I prefer the term "Grilf" to "Gilf". It has more of a ring to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 The Funk - No problem, perhaps you'd like to come round and watch it on my projector screen with mavis and gertrude? [quote name='ste_m3' post='271072' date='Aug 27 2008, 03:18 PM']Twat.[/quote] Is there any need for that? If I was more of a twat i'd have reported you to the mods for being so abusive. If I was as much a twat as you insinuate i'd insult you back! God knows why you're calling me a twat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
