Raslee Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) AND.... SOLD As much as I've tried I've finally decided this recent purchase isn't for me but it is a bass to tick off the bucket list nonetheless. Whilst sounding absolutely superb with the vintage Fender 64 pickups I just don't think were bonding aesthetically. I don't think I'm a long-term fan of Shell pink TBH - it's a shame as it plays so nice with a great slap tone, nice and light too around 9lb ish - can get an accurate weight if requested. Since buying from Bagsieblue of this parish I have added a BT3 Detuner (£70 fro Bass direct) and shielded the cavities. I'm am therefore selling for £850 with the BT3 or £800 without. Now £750 or £800 if wanting the BT3 Hipshot Xtender D-Tuner. Trade wise, Looking for another 4 string Jazz, preferably a Fender USA or decent MIJ (i like block and bound basses), Happy to add a couple of hundred to upgrade and open to other Jazz bass manufactures too. May at a push consider a Warwick Streamer LX/FNA, MM Bongo. Happy to work with buyer on arranging a courier if necessary or collect/trial in Plymouth UK.

pajhartley Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hey, Lee. Not sure if you'll be interested but could do a straight swap for my Ibanez SR1800 - see my ad on this forum for details. Good luck if not! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it GLWTS I've just been playing Le Flea.....had a moment thinking about withdrawing but concluded I'd be more content with a non-pinky USA Jazz, or a reissue jazz with blocks ...white, sunburst, blue, natural - the tone of the Flea is something special though Edited March 17, 2018 by Raslee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
