It's a great instrument and I live just round the corner from Bernie's shop so I never have to wait to get anything sorted (not that it often needs it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it secondhand but it was only a few years old. Over the years it's had a new neck, new bridge, new pickguard and has been fitted with Sims LED's. I've also badly touched up some paint chips (done years ago before I appreciated Mojo). It's probably not worth anything to anyone other than me but is the only instrument I can 100% say I would never sell. You can't beat a Fender with a tort plate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theyellowcar Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 My first Fender, bought completely blind on eBay with every £ I could scrape as a 15 year old. Still rocks today: ALSO. I would struggle to ever sell my Hoppus signature bass. Mark was one of two bassists who inspired me to start playing and it was the bass I really wanted when I bought the Fender above. I couldn’t ever see any prospect of having that amount of money. A few years into my first real job (mid twenties) I got paid a bonus that meant I could make a leap I never thought I’d make. It’s symbolic for me, and they don’t make ‘em anymore so I don’t ever see this one leaving the rack. Spoiler, it also still rocks: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Contrary to what I've said previously, and having spent time with it, I'm going to say this one. For 200 quid its head and shoulders above anything I've had in a long time, it puts a massive smile on my face, it plays itself and it's just an absolute all around belter. I'd be insane to ever let it go, and in fact I want more of them. It's all the bass I've ever wanted and more. *I have said all this in the past, the Kinal, the Overwater etc... but its always been financial difficulties that have forced me to sell previously. Hopefully that won't be an issue again.... but I've learnt to never say never. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I guess having sold beloved gear to pay the rent, I've avoided getting attached to them. Hopefully those days are gone, but, everything has its price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Bolton Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) I couldn't imagine selling my JV Precision; in part because I don't think I'd recoup what I've put into it - knackered bass + re-finish + new pickup and pickguard - but mostly because I genuinely love it. It sounds great and plays like a dream. The neck is the best I've ever ever played, and it's my favourite colour for a bass too.

Thanks - it's gone to an appreciative home and hopefully for a fair price to both of us. 3 hours ago, LukeFRC said: I was going to ask what brought about that sale - hope you're ok All good, thank you matey! I know you and I are both big fans of the "which bass do I reach for?" test. I guess the bassist's equivalent of "mirror, mirror on the wall..." 😄 Well for the first time, since getting it new end-of-line in early 2018, this lovely bass was no longer being automatically reached for and a couple of others were, and my sense was that was not going to change. So it was time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paul 👍, its quite worn up close, it’s only a MIM jazz and I had the headstock matched with a gold decal, it plays just as good as my US ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 The headstock is a great job. Looks really nice like that to my eyes - I don't think all basses suit a matching headstock but that is brill. Did you stain the fingerboard black, too, or is it just the way the pic came out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
