Feeler: Fender Marcus Miller Jazz Bass in olympic white

[sockdeluxe_mikey]

Hi all,

I am brand new to the forums here but I very much look forward to contributing in the future.

I have a Marcus Miller jazz bass in moderately used but good condition which, apart from creme DiMarzio Model J's (I still have the originals also), a Gotoh 201B and Hipshot vintage machine heads is original - the only thing really you would probably want to change back due to personal preference are the pickups, as the Badass II that came with standard with it became a pain in the butt and so did the machine heads! The 'cowbell' pickup cover is not attached but again would also be included

I will be putting up pictures soon, but just for a ballpark figure to start off, I was looking for something like £460 O.N.O? It is a very striking looking bass as will be shown when I get round to taking some snaps!

Thanks for reading anybody possibly interested? Any questions also, then please don't hesitate to ask.

PM'd too. Looking forward to pics :brow:

I used to have one of these, it was one of my (and my cat Spoetnik) favourite basses.... good luck with the sale (you won't have trouble selling it)

Lovely cat!

Yeah, I have had it since 2005 and it has been my No. 1 bass - it has lived with me, and as I've said to some of the PM'ers I just fancy a change and to move onto something else.

I will post a proper detailed account of the bass with pictures soon (time has escaped me lately) but for now, here is a picture I could muster from my FB (sorry about my gormless expression),

I am right this second replying to PM's,

These are awesome.

These cured my GAS

Kinda :-P

[sockdeluxe_mikey]

As of now I am not open to any more offers! Currently dealing with the PM's I've already received, but if all of them fall through then this will be back open to offers,

Cheers!

[sockdeluxe_mikey]

Right, here are some images for current PM'ers and possibly other interested parties!

I also found amongst the parts a Seymour Duncan 1/4" jazz bass bridge pickup, so just for the hell of it I can throw that in with the standard pickups too.

Well obviously either sockdeluxe_mikey or more likely the person who bought the bass from him, saw a bigger profit on eBay!

<edit>

On reflection, I'll add the caveat; assuming the eBay sale isn't a scam and that the bass sells for £550... which (net all fees if the buyer uses paypal) isn't actually going to be a huge amount over the original £460 selling price!

Noting who the buyer was, I think this thread may explain a few things, assuming the listing is legit:

I am collating all of this in the feedback forum concerning Trevthebass - am very glad guys you actually managed to find my Marcus Miller on eBay, as he is unfortunately using my original selling information on the listing!
