Rabbie Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) NO LONGER AVAILABLE- TRADED! In the past couple of weeks I've been experimenting with slab basses which as a DB player is mostly going to end in baldness, which indeed it did for me. I've now realised I shall stick to the upright, or the Hofner or at a push the UBasses. The slabs just don't like me. So, nothing wrong with this bass which the eagle-eyed amongst you will notice I only bought last week from this very forum. It has indeed been around a couple of this forums' esteemed members, and that is a good thing. It is based on the 1975 Fender Jazz I so like the look of, yet it does not like the look of me. The body is a 1970s Greco from Japan The neck is a Japanese all parts lacquered to look vintage which actually plays very very nicely. The pickups are Lindy Fralin (5% overwound for warmth) 90s Mexican Fender tuners And here's the stuff which is alien to me: 3 CTS pots (250k) hand selected to suit the pickups NOS Russian military spec. capacitor PIO 0.047uF Neutrik stereo jack output wired in Mono doubling. (Don't ask me about this stuff, I just copied it from the original listing here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/307033-75-bitsa-jazz-bass-fsft/page__fromsearch__1) And here's for the tasty bit. As you will see from the original listing, the bass was £500 a couple of months ago and was listed for £475 last week. I didn't pay that much, so I am not being greedy and I am passing on the saving. At £390 shipped, This is priced to sell. Trades I hear you ask.... I could do with a nice 12inch cab, one that you can post to me, or come to my house with, I'm in Perth, Scotland. Other than that, it's cold hard money I'm after. Here are some new photos I took this morning. Edited July 14, 2017 by Rabbie
