Steff Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, I’ve always been a 5 string guy and since I haven’t taken my Jazz out of the house in the last year, I think it’s time to move on and pass it to someone who’s actually gonna use it. A bit of history. I’ve had the bass for 7 years and I always thought it’s originally natural but when I got it to my luthier for a check he said that it’s been stripped down - only his specialist eye could see that, I would have sworn it left the factory natural. Plenty of mojo, varnish is wearing out - I love the look of it! I bought it with non original pickups and then sourced the right ones - so now it has a ‘74 neck and ‘78 bridge pups. I believe they are genuine, bout them from a USA shop with plenty of positive eBay feedback. The original neck is rosewood - frets are fairly worn. It is still absolutely playable but will need a re-fret if you want a really really low setup. Second neck is maple, made in Japan. Bought it off here when I was chasing that magical MM Tone. Brilliant neck. As far as I am aware the pots and the plate are all original. Tuners and harness too. I have replaced the jack socket as it was worn out but I believe I still have the original one somewhere. Now I’m not really looking to sell it - I’m much more interested in trades of a similar value. Zon, Pedulla, Modulus, Dingwall, Tobias (yes yes!), a decent precision (never had one), MTD (I wish...), Marcus Miller 5 or a Roscoe Beck... only 5 strings though! Not interested in 4s or 6s. Or 3s. I’d consider any decent 5 string bass. That’s it I’m based in West London but I travel around for gigs fairly often and I wouldn’t mind driving up for the right bass.

Misowaki Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Would you sell the rosewood neck separately? If so, how much? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't I do that any more..? There's too many of the blasted things, darn it..! Am I getting slowly more and more grumpy in my advancing years..? Quite likely, but I've less and less time left to do stuff on this planet, so I am beginning to pick and choose. Just for you, and just this once, the offer came from [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/40446-chris-tommo/"]Chris Tommo ...[/url] If it was serious enough, you'd have received a PM directly by now, though. Good luck with the sale, however, and thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you about the age/grumpiness ratio (ask my colleagues, they’d have more to say about it 😂) Edited October 16, 2017 by Steff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilibass Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hi. Pics would really help your ad and your sale. It would be easier for us to see we're interested or not. Anyway, good luck in the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
