fluffo Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Up for sale is my Jazz 5 VM, I amazed at the quality that you get for your money with these, with Seymour Duncan Designed pickups and the maple board with black blocks you would have to spend a lot to match one of these. I genuinely believe they are better than any mexican jazz Bass but thats a personel opinion, with a nice low action and a good weight balance it's a steel. I have thought about spending some money on it, putting an east or EMG's in it as it's feel is second to none, but I really must stop spending and scale back on my gear. I have had to change one machine head on the D as it was broken, I have replaced it with a mexican one and although slighty different you really have to for it, I will be fitting the last 2 screws prior to selling. The back is completly clean, no rash but am out of file space Will post uk at aroung £25 in a gig bag.

rumour6 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I have one of these (slightly diff; Fender design pickups): couldn't agree more re value for money: also prefer them to the Mexican basses, also recently tried the US active deluxe £1400 version... hard to see the other grand+...steal at £170.

discreet Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I had one of these a while back. Great bass. I fitted an Audere JZ3 in it and it was super-lush. This is a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
