Nice neck, lightweight bass, lovely growl to it. Full sound, lively feel. £499 I believe. Had I been I somewhat more flush, the Power Bass (though probably not the Lynott!) would have been the bass that I'd have bought. That's a bit better than the £11k+ Fender! Quote

It's actually £395 for the basic model with the vintage bridge - the extra £100 is for a Babicz. http://www.basscentre.com/british-bass-masters/the-bass-centre-lizzy-bass.html For that, I just don't see how you can go wrong. 1 Quote

Even though I already have way too many basses, and I've already got two great Jazzes (one fretted, one fretless) This one is still giving me GAS.... Why? Because it looks stunning! Can't see any further info on these basses online either 1 Quote

Looks good though. Quote

DanEly Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 I've just started doing a bit of work for guy. These Jazzes are very nice and I can confirm he does gig them, completely stock 2 Quote
Fred Leicester Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Christ, just when I was thinning the herd as well.... I’m gonna have to have one..... 😂 Quote

ezbass Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Sounds great, especially that neck pickup. £595 seems a steal. Fortunately, I don't like 38mm nut width necks; phew! 😅 Quote

mangotango Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Compare the weights, if you regard that as a factor...having owned BC basses, given the Power Bass a go and also tried Sires before today, I can't help thinking that the BC's will be muuuuch lighter.... Quote

And the lpb. do wish they hadn’t done matching headstocks on the maple. Always looks wrong to me. Quote
Ricky 4000 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Anybody wondering what the routing is like under a BC Jive's pickguard -- this is the lefty one that I bought for my lad last xmas: 1 2 Quote
