Clarky Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Persuaded myself I needed a Jazz to match my P-bass and so bought one last month (5 Feb 2009) - its a 2009 MIA black with rosewood neck, to which I have added a WD tort s/p (have white Fender original still) and TI Flats. Never gigged, bedroom use only. No dings, scratches, nada, basically a minter. All in cost £875 NB, Pics below were taken on very bright day and so have reflections on the high gloss body, best pic is one is in middle. [attachment=22448:clarky_basses_082.JPG][attachment=22449:clarky_basses_085.JPG][attachment=22450:cl arky_basses_084.JPG] Basic problem is, try as I might, I cannot get on with the narrow J neck (doh) whereas I absolutely lurve the neck on my white 2009 MIA Precision. Edit (14 April): need to sell this as have ordered a Shuker JJ Burnel - woohoo! Cheers Clarky Edited May 24, 2009 by Clarky
Jono Bolton Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Beautiful Jazz Clarky, wish I could've taken it off your hands. Have a free bump on me!
honza992 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 You're welcome to the picture! And good luck with the sale. (I miss that P... )
Clarky Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) As no trade offers have been forthcoming I will have to sell this to buy what I'm after .... So does anyone want this absolutely mint 2009 bass for a discount to new price? All-in cost to me was £810 (bass) +£30 (WD s/p) +£35 (new TI Flats) = £875 £775 posted or £750 collected from London (Hammersmith area). Means I've dropped £100-odd in just over a month, clever boy. Look on it as me taking the immediate no-longer-in-the-shop depreciation for you! As a consequence of latter, no paypal please due to fees (unless you want to pay them). I have only ever sold great basses (check feedback from Jonthebass, Nick "Old Horse" Murphy, Jono Bolton and Martin Lee) and this is no exception Edited March 27, 2009 by Clarky

Clarky Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) Would also do for £725 posted/£700 collected if I put back on the Fender white s/p and the stock Fender strings, ie, put it back to how it arrived in February (and I keep the tort s/p and the TI Flats) PS, goes without saying that it comes in the new 2008/9 Fender SKB case with all the case candy, all minty fresh Edited March 28, 2009 by Clarky
Clarky Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Sunday bump - its like buying a brand new Fender Jazz, only cheaper!
Clarky Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 As I need to sell this fairly fast to free up funds to buy what I have in mind I'm afraid have had to go the eBay route [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=130297005438"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=130297005438[/url]

Clarky Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Didn't sell on eBay - darn, I need the money for a bass on order Anyone interested in making a reasonable offer (in region of £750)? Seriously this is completely as new and upgraded - as in earlier post, will also lower price if I put it back to standard issue s/p and strings Edited April 1, 2009 by Clarky
Clarky Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) New price £750 posted in upgraded form or £700 posted with original white scratchplate and Fender strings (ie, stock) £20 off each price if collected, rather than posted Edited April 1, 2009 by Clarky

josh3184 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 oh, good choice! I look forward to seeing that thread in build diaries
Clarky Posted April 2, 2009 Author Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Off indulging in my other great passion, snowboarding, for 9 days on Saturday. So will not be checking PMs or FS thread from Friday evening onwards. Anyone interested in this bass, I will get back to them after the Easter bank holiday weekend. Cheers Clarky Edited April 2, 2009 by Clarky
Clarky Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) Back from snowboarding bump! To save reading whole thread, price is now dropped to £750 posted in upgraded form (ie, with WD tort scratchplate fitted and TI Flats) or £700 posted with original white scratchplate and Fender strings (ie, stock) £20 off each price if collected, rather than posted. I live near Hammersmith, West London Edited April 15, 2009 by Clarky
