tom1946 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) REDUCED TO £450, FREE SHIPPING. I haven't got much left now. Classic 70's Jazz bass, bought on a whim 'cos I like block necks, but as the ever fragrant Mrs Anderson keeps telling me I already have 2. She has a point. Spec' MIM The '70s saw the repositioning of the bridge pickup closer to the bridge, creating a brighter tone that cut through mixes more. The biggest cosmetic upgrade came in the form of gorgeous block inlays and neck binding, which are highly sought after by many bassists. The bullet truss rod completes the look. Seventies-era Jazz Bass guitars are widely regarded as the basses built for funk. The offset waist, ultra-slim neck and vintage-style alnico magnet Jazz Bass single-coil pickups all make this bass very comfortable and familiar.

Porkpie Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Blimey Tom, you're selling some nice basses, can't justify another Jazz style, but I just wanted to say how pleased I am with the P flower '54 I had off you in Jan, and give a bump for a top geezer to do business with. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
