karlfer Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Only selling as have managed to end up with 3 P/J's Model no 013-5702- 306 Short lived Mex P/J (1999/2002) built between California Series and Mex Deluxe Active. This is not a Mex standard, more one of the top of the range Mex's at the time. This is a passive bass with a P body, Jazz neck and P/J pups. Think this is the 3rd to come up in the last 15 months, although last one was in January. Precision body, jazz neck, (1.5" nut) P/J pups, gold coloured anodised plate, 20 med jumbo frets, std AlNiCo pups, Vol/Vol/Tone, US electronic components, American Vintage P Bass bridge. 8.5lbs. Issues, some headstock chips, bit of thumb wear on plate, some "certain light " scratches on the back, couple of hard to photo dinks,some rusty screws and the saddles, whilst fully adjustable, have a bit of rust on them. This bass is in good condition for a 14 year old bass that has been gigged, all dinks, rusty bits etc are above. ANY BIG paintwork issue you think you can see are none existent, it's my photography I'm afraid. Recent set up with new Status Premium roundwounds. Tremendously well made Mex bass with a good rep. Lots of reviews online, an example thread follows where they have a mention (some not quite positive, but ther ya go).

karlfer Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Many thanks Gareth and Ollie, appreciated . All PM's now replied (phew, smokin' keyboard). Between here and FB I've had 7 offers of trades since this went up. Sorry folks but this one has got to be a sale I'm afraid. Thanks for looking and all the offers, cheers, Karl.

itsmedunc Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Had one of these a while back. A fine bass indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Cheers Dunc, it is indeed a fine bass. Far from cosmetically perfect but a damn good versatile gig machine. I'm hoping to give the saddles a WD40 bath this weekend, and put the string spacing so they are over the poles. There are 3 (between here and FB) close to pulling the cash trigger, but I can't get it sent out today. Not sending it out tomorrow as it would be in a couriers warehouse over the weekend. So all 3 know it's Mon for Tues. All further PM's have been replied to, thanks for looking, Karl. EDIT. Thankfully now on hold, my poor one typing finger's getting tired Edited March 31, 2016 by karlfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
