Conan Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) NOW [i][b]£550[/b][/i] I never thought I'd sell this bass, but financial issues make it necessary... It is black with matching headstock. It is in very good condition (one or two minor dings and scratches). It has been modded (by a previous owner) by the addition of a series/parallel switch, which gives extra tonal options. It really sings due to the wood, construction and Delano pickups It has a lovely low action and plays beautifully. The build quality is simply outstanding (way better than many Fenders I have played) and it balances perfectly. This bass just oozes quality... [url="http://www.mayones.com/en/katalog/jabba/jabba_classic"]http://www.mayones.c...a/jabba_classic[/url] The specs are as follows: - Alder body - One piece maple neck. - Maple fingerboard - Hipshot A style bridge, brass, adjustable string spacing (19mm to 21mm). - Schaller tuners. - 42mm nut width - 20" fingerboard radius - 34.25" scale length - Delano JMVC 4 FE/M2 pickups - Electronics vol/vol/tone, w/ series/parallel switch. - 24 jumbo frets. - Weight is 9lbs 3oz. The parts alone are worth several hundred quid! I am happy to take more photos if anyone is interested in something in particular, just let me know by PM. A Fender padded gigbag can be included for postage purposes (at extra cost). Shipping within the UK is included in the price (at buyer's risk of course). I am happy to post wider afield, but the extra cost will have to be absorbed by the purchaser. No trades please (unless they involve at least £200 in my direction) as I need the cash!

GLWTS. [/quote] It does indeed! I really like it, but I just can't justify owning five basses (four of them J-style) when we have bills to pay
Conan Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 Back to the top! A lovely, high quality bass at a very reasonable price!
Conan Posted November 12, 2015 Author Posted November 12, 2015 Looked like this was sold yesterday... but it's still here!

Conan Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 Bass Direct are currently selling one of these for £1299!! http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mayones_About.html Buy mine for less than half that price
Conan Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 I think this bass represents fantastic value for money... but am I asking too much for it?
ead Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Don't know, seems like a really nice bass and I was highly tempted last time it was up for sale. Still am tbh. If I had the readies I'd have bought it already as a 2-octave Jazz-type bass is my preferred combination. Still saving up atm.
Conan Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) [quote name='ead' timestamp='1447922703' post='2911437'] Still saving up atm. [/quote] I know how you feel! The market is odd at the moment - lots of Fenders and other J-type basses, and lots of really top-end stuff. Some is selling quickly and others are hanging around for a long time, even when the prices are competitive. It's frustrating when one needs money! Edited November 19, 2015 by Conan
Conan Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 I'd be happy to deliver this within a radius of around 40 miles or so of Newcastle... Well, in all directions except east of course - as that would be in the middle of the North Sea! Will also meet up with buyers who are further away... just try me!
rungles Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Someone grab this please before I do! Geoff is a top guy to deal with.

Number6 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Are the bodies on these smaller than a Fender JB?
Conan Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) [quote name='Number6' timestamp='1449163110' post='2921241'] Are the bodies on these smaller than a Fender JB? [/quote] I haven't measured it or anything, but I would say that it is slightly smaller, yes. Not much though (I think the perspective in the photo above exaggerates any differences). It does seem to balance better though. I suppose with the neck being longer it projects further into the body of the bass - which helps with balance. It's certainly not a small-bodied bass like some of the Warwicks - but I would say it is a bit smaller and somehow more "petite" than the J bass. I have a couple of other J basses at home, so I could take some more pics if you were interested? Edit - just got home and had a look. The total size is just about identical, but the lower horn on the Jabba is much more deeply cut - allowing easy access to the dusty end of the two octave neck. Edited December 3, 2015 by Conan
