Owen Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/369393134879425/?rid=4982009548488704&ad_id&rt=1&refID=0&refType=0 I am 80% certain this is the bass I traded in the Brixton Music Exchange for a pair of EMG Jazz Pickups in the early 80s. I was young and very stupid. If I remotely played 4 stringers I would buy it back just to apologise to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Dare I ask what happened to the EMG Jazz pickups? They must have been pretty bloody special ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 They went into a Tokai Fretless Jazz (Jaco alike) which was painted with not Nitrocellulose. I knew so little back in the day that I reliced it by banging it on the road. Obviously this did not go well. This was the first in a long line fretlesses which prove I cannot play fretless (the latest being a really nice ACG). I eventually sold it to a guy in Dublin and took the ferry from Holyhead to deliver it. It was a different time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The bass is located about 5 miles away from me and I've pondered on it for a few weeks but I just know the thing is going to be 10-12lb all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 I discussed it with my brother who borrowed it from me on occasion. He remembered it as being not light. I have rose tinted lenses on and remember it as being fabulous in all ways. As I do with virtually everything I have sold ever. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
