KevinJazzBass Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Hey, These are some bass parts that I have no use for anymore. The body is from a Mexican Jazz Bass from around 2003 and The neck is from a Vintage Reissue 1962 I bought from Tony F here back in April. The body is good condition generally but does have a few small knocks which are barley visible and one larger one (which i have photographed). The bridge has really corroded and now it is really difficult to adjust the action. The pickups and the control plate have also rusted slightly. The body comes with a black scratchplate and I also have the original white one. There are also two screws in the body from where i used to have a bridge pick up cover. I have for a sale a neck from a 1962 Vintage Reissue Precision bass. I bought the bass from Tony F in April after always playing a fender Jazz and played the bass as it was for a few weeks. I had only played Jazz neck since i started playing bass 7 years ago and i found myself adjusting to the wider precision neck however after a few weeks i picked up one of my jazzes and realised that the narrower neck was definitely for me. At that point I replaced the precision neck with a Jazz neck and I have never looked back. I will include the matching hip shot in with the neck as well as the four original reverse tuners with the neck. Since then the neck has been kept on a jazz body and strung to keep some tension on the neck to prevent bowing. I would be looking for £190 for the body with the hardware and £240 for the neck or £380 for the whole bass. Here are the pictures.

EDIT: I have been asked for some extra pictures by a Basschater who had concerns about the state of the electronics based upon the state of the bridge. The bass will now come with a free hardcase for postage and I will also be replacing the bridge with this one I have just got one ebay... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170379840417&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]Replacement Bridge[/url] The electronics are fine and in much better condition than the bridge however there is a very slight crackle when the pots are adjusted so maybe they just need cleaning. Here are the pictures.

[attachment=34114:Photo0176.jpg] [attachment=34115:Photo0177.jpg] [attachment=34116:Photo0179.jpg] [attachment=34118:Photo0181.jpg] I have just installed the replacement bridge and set up the bass and it plays really well . I am looking for around £360 for the bass. Any questions please ask as I will be happy to answer. Thanks again for looking.

KevinJazzBass Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Bump with Price Drop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinJazzBass Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Due to a lack of interest of in the item I'm getting the feeling it might me overpriced. Therefore I'm gunna drop the price again to £350 ONO for the whole bass, £160 for the Body and £220 for the neck. I am going to Leeds Festival tomorrow and will be back home next Monday and if there has been no more interest then I'm gunna consider this and a few other items I have on EvilBay. If you message me I wont be able to reply until Monday but I will get back to you as soon as I am home as I am keep to see all of my items go to new homes.

KevinJazzBass Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Let me know if you can raise the cash mate. I am open to sensible offers and I don't want to but I might have to Ebay it if it doesn't sell soon. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I was going to reply via the pm but I've sent too many out today so I'll reply here, I'm willing to pay the asking price depending if I sell my SUB. I'm living in Reading so it's pretty far from Hartlepool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kevin[/quote] Hard to say a good MIM will go for £200-250 a good MIA will go for £450-600 so I think it's at a good price point but obviously things are only worth what people will pay. If I was after a Jazz and had the money I'd buy it. Edited September 6, 2009 by waynepunkdude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinJazzBass Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 I am still waiting on the replacement bridge to arrive thanks to a very slow ebay seller. Is anyone interested or am I gunna have to eBay this? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinJazzBass Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 I have installed the new bridge and set up the bass and it plays really well. Id like £360 for the whole bass. It is made up of a 1962 Vintage Reissue Precision neck with matching reverse Hipshop Tuner (I will also include the original tuner too). A shiny Blue Body from a Mexican Precision bass with a spare black scratch plate and a fender replacement bridge. I will also throw in a good quality hardcase for the bass to be shipped in. Any questions please ask. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
