Aero71 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Selling my true roadworn VanderEnd JB5 custom, Swamp ash body with birdseye maple neck. Neck is graphite reinforced. 35", Lindy Fralin pickups, Hipshot bridge and tuners, active/passive VDE preamp. Great bass, has seen a lot of shows, therefor it has quite a lot dings and dongs, see pictures, but everything functions as it should. Recently setup with a new set of DR Hi-Beams.

Aero71 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 Prefer a direct sale, but you can always offer me a trade.

Aero71 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 £800 for a direct sale. Bargain guys, since it was new £1800
Basshoofd Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 It was sold in the Netherlands for a very low price with a broken trussrod. Did it get fixed?
Aero71 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Posted October 23, 2015 Truss rod is working fine. You can try it if you want, it was never broken. If it was, I would have mentioned it.

Seemed the former owner had been going at it with a wrong sized allen-key, almost ruining the brass nut Got myself an imperial sized hex-key and had all the travel a man ever is going to need on a trussrod. Anyway, very nice instrument from one of the Netherlands' top regarded luthiers. GLWTS!

[/quote] That was also the issue with this bass...previous owner didn't had the right tool to adjust the truss rod, but the rod works freely with the right key.
LukeFRC Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Nice looking bass. what's the pickups? It looks like theirs a MM with another pup on the bridge side?

silverfoxnik Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Crazy price for such a quality instrument!! The J/MM/J pick up configuration is unusual too, which must yield a huge array of tones.. Cool '70s J bass looks - what's not to like? Surely someone will take it off your hands at this price.. GLWTS
chaypup Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 What's the postage cost from The Netherlands? Does it come with a case? Thanks!
Aero71 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 I can get it delivered to the UK including insurance for £25 and that's including a hardcase.
Aero71 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 Got a lot of questions about the controls and switches. This is what they do: the knobs are: Volume (neck j pup), Volume (MM + bridge J pup), Tone, Bass, Treble, the switches are: 2 way toggle MM/J pickup, 3 way toggle MM coils (both/front coil/back coil), 2 way toggle active/passive. Looks like too much, but actually it's a jazz and stingray in one.
