Thanks Leo

The Framus is now with Andy Baxter (andybaxterbass.com) - a good guy, if anyone fancies paying dealer rates for vintage stuff.

And sorry GR - my G.A.S. has changed from a Jaguar to a G&L SB-2 or Sandberg I'm seeing later tonight. But best of luck with the sale/trade.

Jesus man I cant believe this is still not sold. These Jaguars are so undersold and understated. They really are a bit of a secret, as they are absolutely superb. Somebody buy it before he changes his mind. Personally I would not trade for a Miller - no way. Do what is on my Jag. Fit a Gotoh chromed brass bridge, have Howard fit a brass nut, and do a straight swap with the tuners to vintage reverse winds - they are a perfect fit, no new holes. You wont want to sell it then, not when you find it rings for ages like a £3000 boutique job. All best though, hope somebody out there knows how good it is and grabs a bargain

Good luck, The Jag looks lovely.[/quote]

I saw a sunburst Marcus go for £435 on ebay :)

Hi,

Just throw in my twopence worth, having had both the Geddy Lee & Marcus Miller Basses, the Jaguar for me beats 'em both for range of tone, looks and playability. If it's the Marcus you need, for the tone, then grand, as it's quite a specific tone, and it's twice as heavy as the Jag, Geddy is also very atonal, if indeed that's a word, lmao, stick with the Jag, one of Fender's best, having tried most of they're models at some point, only thing that is similar in tone variation is the Stu Hamm Urge II, but twice the price, good luck,

Hi,

It's pretty good, there is a slight lean headstock wise, but really nothing much, the main thing with the Jaguar is the small body wing at the bottom part of the body [is that the right term, sure it's not] this make's it more difficult to balance on your knee, and it also adds to the overall way the bass hangs on you while stood up, compared with a Jazz anyhow, which obviously contributes to the very slight neck dip, but believe me it is slight, the Jazz body is bigger. Overall tho, I much prefer my Jag to a Jazz, but if a Jazz were thrown at me I wouldn't say no, lol,

Arrrgh I love Jag's!!

I'd be willing to part with mine plus some cash

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=86299"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=86299[/url]

It's a beautiful bass to play, very good sound, and an absolute steal at the price I'm asking.
