johnnylager Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Righto chaps, I have [s]a hankering[/s] now hankered for a certain white 5-string Euro LX. This unfortunately means shifting this little fella. Bought as ex-demo from Bernie Goodfellow in early/mid 2008. I think Stuart Clayton may have played it once too. A fantastic player, though the poor thing has taken a back seat since the Spector arrived & only used twice in the last year, once at an outdoor festie, where I got such a great sound out of this bass and a 30-year old Peavey, I wondered why I spent all the money on other gear. The other time was at the covers band rehearsal the next day, when I forgot it was still in the gig-bag and had a nice surprise when I opened it up. If you can get to Worthing, you are welcome to come & try it. [list] [*]Glossed natural finish [*]Satin finished maple bolt-on neck, 34" scale [*]2-band EBS preamp & mid-cut switch for all the slappers out there, I sometimes switch it to check it's still working [*]Vol, blend, B & T [/list]No dings, 2 very minor issues - the battery cover has lost it's, er, cover, but it's nice & tight in there and it's never come out on me, which is more than the wife can say. There are also some light fingernail marks on the scratchplate under the G-string and over the neck pup. Again, very much like the wife. [b]Price - [s]£500[/s] now £475[i]+ delivery[/i] in s/h, but perfectly servicable ABS Stagg case[/b] [does have a couple of logos sprayed on, could easily be covered up with black spray paint]. [b]£450 w/o case[/b], which I would prefer to keep if we meet. [b]Will also consider trades for something P-like, with cash my way[/b] Thanks for looking, John. Edited January 28, 2010 by johnnylager

tom1946 Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Christ that's gorgeous How does it compare to say a deluxe jazz? ie' power and tone?

The other reason I bought it was the neck...
Chris2112 Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Quite a deal this...I'd say it's the best jazz going on the boards atm for a rather attractive price! Really dig the look of the body too.
tom1946 Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I can buy this now. My wife would stab me with one of the knives in my avatar if I don't get rid of one first. Bugger I have 3 for sale at the moment on here. Don't suppose you want a cheap PX??
johnnylager Posted January 14, 2010 Author Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks Chris! Tom - not really looking to trade at [i]this[/i] stage, but that Yam looks really nice!
Philly Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I see you use the same high quality grolsch strap locks as I have. How wide is it at the nut, is the same as a fender Jazz?
johnnylager Posted January 14, 2010 Author Posted January 14, 2010 Dunlop Dual Design straplocks, with Grolschers if I forget my strap! This is 41mm, yer typical Jazz being a 38mm.
Sibob Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 While I personally wouldn't buy one of these over any of my passive fenders, I gigged a Proto-J 5 a while ago, and it blew my old Fender Deluxe Jazz out the water! So if you want an active Jazz, these are great! Si
spacecowboy Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 That looks genuinely fantastic for that kind of money! Good luck with the sale!
johnnylager Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 Thanks you for your kind words, Gentlemen - it certainly is.
johnnylager Posted January 27, 2010 Author Posted January 27, 2010 [b]Edited -[/b] now also for trade with something P-like, with cash my way.
