Sibob Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Hey guys So i got this 1998-'99 Deluxe Jazz about 4 months ago, and its a nice bass, light, good nick (one ding on the back, one on the front), but its just not clicking with me, i thought i might drop a J-retro deluxe into it, but it doesn't feel right to me either. I'd hate to spend £200 on a preamp and the bass still not click with me. It comes with Dunlop straplocks and a Fender Hardcase can be included. So I'm putting it out there to see if anyones interested, I'll put up a few pics, i can take more if people want. I'm after another 4 string fretted bass fundamentally, no passive Precisions or MM Subs though, cheers. Brands interested in, but not limited to: Musicman? (Stingray, Sterling) G&L? (USA L2000) Lakland? (JO, DJ or 44-01's/02's (Skylines)) Fender? (Precision Deluxe or USA/Japanese Jazzes) any thoughts/ideas/offers? Cheers Si p.s. its got a new set of Newtone Diamond 40-100's on it, only seen about 4 gigs, and i take care of my strings . Edited October 10, 2007 by Sibob
Josh Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Being one of the previous owners I can happily say this bass is great and can do just about anything you'd want it to, and also to say Simon is a legend and a great guy to deal with!
Sibob Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Hey Josh, cheers for the kind words! I'm still glad that we did the swap, its a great bass and was a definite step towards what i'm after compared to the Corvette. I think i can use that typical relationship anecdote here: "Its not the Bass.....ITS ME" lol Cheers Si p.s. Josh is quality to! if anyone ever has to deal with him! Edited September 1, 2007 by Sibob
