SX Quilt top Blue Jazz. SOLD!!

[andyonbass]

I bought this off of NielB a few months ago, with a view to my daughter learning to play. However, the realisation that you have to actually make an effort, and to be fair, it is a bit big for her, means it has been standing idle most of the time, which is a shame, 'cos its a bloody nice sounding and easy playing instrument. I'm tempted to keep it for myself, but I know it still wont be getting used, as all my playing is done on 5ers these days. I've put a fender type decal on (see pics), because the original peeled off. Its in excellent condition with just a barely noticable scuff on the top edge.
Given the mods (see specs below) I reckon £150 plus packaging and shipping is a reasonable price.



Specs:

Photo quilt top in blue

Maple neck and board with white block markers, inset, not stick on.

White pearloid plate (original, so fits perfect)

Wizard 64 pups

Leo Quann Badass 2 bridge

Replacement GOTOH tuners

I used to have one of those Yamaha DD65s. Great fun! Not so good to learn on though.

BTW What's "Photo quilt top" mean? Is is not the real wood grain?

Its like a photograph thats lacquered over...... the cheaper Peavey cirrus basses employ the same technique for the tigers eye effect.

Ah right. Isn't technology wunnerful? I'm sure this will be snapped up in no time.

I'd say this is a bargin!!!

just the bridge and pickups would cost about £120

someone get it bought!!

Somebody buy this. It would have been a great bass when stock, and Neil's choice of mods was excellent.

Complete and utter bargain.

the Wizard pickups and Badass bridge alone are worth about the total cost of the bass! A steal

[andyonbass]

thanks, guys, you're right, i'd probably get more if I were to sell the parts, but its just too nice to dismantle!

[Dan_Q]

looks nice!

same method as used to create my "photoflame" jap strat.

Free bump for a nice bass

In the very unlikely event of this being here next week, i'll maybe grab it.
