Clarky Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Having recently acquired a fantastic Fullerton era AVRI 62RI Jazz I am reassessing what I realistically need. Hence putting this rare 1999 beast up for sale. It was near mint when I bought it (see pics in ad link from Pym antiques below). Pretty much the only signs of use are some minor sinking of the nitro finish around the neck plate and a couple of tiny nicks. From front on it looks a new bass. It weighs 9.25 pounds on my scales (without chrome covers) and plays super smoothly with D'Addario 45-100 nickel rounds. Comes with slightly scraped tweed case and all the case candy. Price now £1500 plus delivery via UPS, or can be collected from SW13, south of Hammersmith Bridge. Trade options: AVRI 62 Precision if 9 pounds or less. Or p/x for similarly light early 70s P with rosewood board, with cash your way. Pics here Edited December 28, 2021 by Clarky 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Genuinely surprised in the lack of interest given the rarity of this model in this particular colour scheme and it's great condition for a 22 y/o bass. Near offer anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I’d love it mate - always been my favourite JBass…they used to have these in the fender “frontline” magazine. Just bad timing for me 🤦🏻♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 Ok looks like the wrong time of year to be selling this fabulous, rare bass. Back in its case it goes. Withdrawn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Back up with trade option (AVRI 62 Precision) and lower bargain price (£1500). Sale much preferred as I do already have several other basses .... but it looks like trades are easier at this time of year In response to a PM, I have all the amps/cabs etc I need, so the only trade is for an AVRI P bass (I would contribute some extra cash if a Fullerton early 80s, alternatively its a straight trade for a good condition light post Fullerton AVRI) PS, swapped strings again (I am an inveterate tinkerer) and the bass is now wearing D'Addario 45-100 nickel rounds.

deaver Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 You’re a terrible old tempter Clarky, I haven’t been in the forum for years and here you are selling something I’d love to have - just as it always was. I had an Alembic Spoiler and a beautiful white Precision off you back before the world went crazy. I haven’t got the dosh for this particular beast but I’ll be dipping back in a few months time with a fuller wallet to see what you’ve got to offer.
