Raslee Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) SOLD These basses need little introduction, believe the hype - easily on par with a Mex Fender +++ I'm selling this King Crismson red Jive bass as I've recently acquired a Maruszcszyck jazz. I've A/B'd them both extensively the last 2 days and the Maruszcsczyck is the lighter of the two which ultimately is better for my back pain, but regarding sound and playability it really was a close one, there is truly a lot to like about this bass. Mrs Raslee is also pointing out i seem to have a few more basses than usual lately...ahem! The Jive was recently for sale here at £250 which is what i am looking for, a total bargain for what you get. I have however since changed the pickups for Dimarzio's Ultra jazz and fitted a Guyker 2 band preamp, vast improvement in the sound department - it literally sings now and has loads of bass tone on tap -can do vintage to modern easily. 9.2lbs on the scales so really not bad. Low action, excellent condition and the mint pickguard goes lovely with the dark red colour. I will sell the Jive with these mods for £325 or can return it standard for £250. If buying with the mods i will add the original pickups and passive bellplate to the sale. Comes with hardcase or gig bag - your choice.

Jazzman2477 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Can vouch for Paul....great chap to deal with and hassle free. Got two Bass Collections myself; a P and a J.....both fantastic instruments, never let me down and I agree, re. better than a MIM bass. Good luck with the sale! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
