Let's see if it turns up at a dealer after a deep clean. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of an advantage against online bidders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody is taking a punt but good luck to them. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverBlackman Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Battle of the 50s p basses between bass bro’s and Andy Baxter. I tend to prefer the originality of the one at Mr Baxter but the neck mod and refinish in the bass bro’s one is real nice and a relatively accessible (for some) price at £5k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velarian Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I did toy with the idea of going along to take a look at it. It would still have been a two hour drive though. I was thinking that in a worse-case scenario, if the neck was goosed and it needed a truss rod replacement, if it could be brought for well under £10k it would still be worth it. In the end, I decided GAS was getting the better of me and avoided the temptation. Just as well really as I’d also spotted this almost new Trace Elliot Elf and 110 cab which went for just £220 + fees, around half the price of new. 😅 https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/david-duggleby-scarborough/catalogue-id-srda10703/lot-ab75f8e3-2251-4e01-8997-b08b00f7bba7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurroundedByManatees Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) My old jazz bass is for sale again. https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/annonce-2220978 Important note: Neck and body are from different basses. Period correct though. Indian rosewood fretboard, no Rio. Seller has decided not to mention this for a bigger profit. Also he is using my pictures without asking....which always feels a bit weird. He says because he retired 2 years ago, but he bought it about 6 months back or so.... probably saying to create some feelings. It's a really great Jazz Bass though, but it needs some honesty when listed. Edited October 16, 2023 by SurroundedByManatees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a guitar is "outed", it stays outed, and this seller will have a lot to regret regarding his current stance/position with the guitar and his future reputation. He may actually be causing himself more trouble than he anticipates right now. It's a very small world, and this will not go unnoticed.

Who knows, maybe they’ll have a think about it in their quieter moments and do the right thing and list it correctly? What’s the story with the bass, how did the neck and body meet?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty weird that you were being honest when selling it before and now this...another person trying to get the most out of a sale. Sigh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurroundedByManatees Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I had 2 almost original and almost complete early '66 jazzes One had the amazing light body, and the other a superb thin neck that felt special to me (but on a way heavier body). I know it would decrease the value but from a players view I decided to swap the necks (the original one on this body needed a little work on though) and make the ideal jazz bass. The idea was that I would keep it for ages, but things went different... All in all it is a fantastic bass. When your looking for a vintage jazz, I don't think it gets much better. All parts are correct and it actually could have left the factory with this exact parts. The "leftover" parts were indeed for sale too, I didn't part out this bass for sale though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
