BaggyMan Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) In series of ‘murder your darlings’ sweep of my bass collection I am cutting down the number of wonderful basses I have. Some of them relatively recent acquisitions… my main objective is ..downsizing my storage, so need the space… All my basses are well set up and play great, no issues and in most cases are near perfect or only have age related dings. So here is #3: Tobacco S/B VM squire Jazz bass. (Indonesian build 2012) I only bought this a short time ago, had to drive a decent distance to get it. Have serviced it ( polish, fretboard clean and fret polish, new strings.) New fender tortoishell scratchplate ( I had a new one kicking around and its was a better tort imho). Have also added CTS pots. Lovely bass, nice slim neck, Duncan designed pickups. The VM range is quite a step up from the affinity series (which is actually very good at the price point it has to be said). Virtually Unmarked, basically as new (couple of usage marks on the bell plate) Priced to sell (and recover my outlays..) and you'll save about £100 on new. Edited December 4, 2017 by BaggyMan 1
BaggyMan Posted November 22, 2017 Author Posted November 22, 2017 Will entertain offers on swaps perhaps......
BaggyMan Posted November 22, 2017 Author Posted November 22, 2017 Rochester Kent, Uk Will post to wherever at buyers cost..
Bailey8891 Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Not to derail your sell, but I have this exact same model and had a quick question. Did you have to re-drill holes when you replaced the scratchplate with a Fender one?
BaggyMan Posted November 22, 2017 Author Posted November 22, 2017 No, it was a straight fit, all you have to do is make sure you have the correct version of scratchplate, 11 hole, 15 hole whatever. 1
Lako Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Hi. I'v got Tokai Hardpuncher and looking for jazz bass. Interested in swap ?
BaggyMan Posted December 1, 2017 Author Posted December 1, 2017 car drive away...could meet up and try out perhaps?
BaggyMan Posted December 1, 2017 Author Posted December 1, 2017 Someone has just offered to pay cash. Apologies bills to pay rather than swap. That said how much would the tokai sell for ? I also have a beautful bone white bitza jazz , lindy fralin pickups, Fender US body, through body strung , generic neck (rosewood board) Parts alone have cost me £400+. Willing to talk a partex with some money.
Lako Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 No problem mate, understand. Somebody is comming to view Tokai on Sunday for £195. If sold I'll hunt for squier v/m jazz or mim/mij jazz. Thanks
BaggyMan Posted December 3, 2017 Author Posted December 3, 2017 if i see anything about i'll flag it up. Cheers
