aj5string Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Right, I'm [u][b]thinking[/b][/u] about selling this, only because something amazing that I would really really like has come up. IF that sells before I sell this then I will gladly keep it as it is an amazing bass, and really does sound superb. It is a MIJ Fender body, with original MIJ Pickups bridge etc... in a lovely authentic aged white (as it is an early 80s body). The neck is a might mite, with some nice flaming, and a really really nice profile - Jazz width really. It has schaller tuners. TBH - looks stunning with the white body, black hardware and unlined black fretboard. Check the pics - admittedly, not the best but the lights a bit funny. Like I said, if this doesn't sell I won't be gutted at all, and will happily keep it. [u][b]Will sell for £300[/b][/u] [attachment=29563:SS850592.JPG] [attachment=29569:SS850593.JPG] [attachment=29570:SS850596.JPG] Any questions please ask. I'm in Torquay, and am happy to post. Alex.

aj5string Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Gonna whack it on Ebay - but priority will still be to Basschatters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) I put this bass together and ended up swapping it for Alex's fretless Warwick Fortress. I felt I need an active bass to match my Corvette $$. This really is a lovely bass. And it does look ace. Have a bump on me, mate. EDIT: It's a 1992 btw. All original apart from the neck obviously.

aj5string Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Bump... On ebay - but price of £300 oVno still stands for basschatters Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bythesea Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Looks nice - does this have side dots? And is the neck a typical P profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj5string Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 It has side dots - where the frets would be... prob the best option for an unlined fretless imho. The neck is more Jazz than Precision I would say. Hope that helps. Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda wish I still had it. I was going to put an ACG pre in it because I need an active FL but thought better of it. It plays beautifully. Really lovely neck and those Schallers are fantastic tuners. I reckon £300 is a bit of a bargain thb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Alex, is the fretboard ebony or rosewood (or other)? Also, can you provide a pic showing the back of the neck and body. Ta, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj5string Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi - i think the fretboard is actually ebanol - but not 100% on that... its very dark, and scrubs up really well; with very few string marks on it (I'm using half wounds and have used flats and rounds in the past). I'll sort a pic asap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj5string Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Pics as requested - really hard to get the flame on the neck, but you can get the idea i hope! Alex.
