BassJase Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) Right, it pains me to say this but I am an absolute moron when it comes to "having a go" at bass technicalities. I bought this fretless about a year ago, and have since spent time and money on it and all that seems to have happened is that I've made it look worse and worse. I bought new black hardware for it, installed it all ok, but managed to shred the screw holes for the control plate. Because it's a such a small unforgiving space there's not a lot of room for new holes to be drilled. I then had a bash at my own version of "relicing" the headstock with wood stain. You can see the result, not pretty. But I did sand the neck varnish off pretty well and it now feels smooth as a babies, and I'm sure somebody with some skills could make this into something a bit less tragic. The neck comes with the tuners and string tree (which only has one screw holding it on!) and I'm after £35 for it posted. The body comes with the PuPs, I was told they were from a Fender Jazz but not sure of which model, but they work fine and sound pretty good. I'm after £45 for this posted. I can also supply a jazz control plate (with pots and everything) for an additional £5 and a bent-tin bridge for another £5. You are also welcome to come collect any of this from me in North London and knock a few quid off the price. I'm also well up for trades on whatever you might have floating around, hit me up and see what floats my boat! Cheers Y'all...

lemmywinks Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Some matchsticks will most likely fix the holes for the control plate. That's not the Jaco fretless i (and also Dr. Dave and Moosh) used to own is it? If so, nice bass! Potential bargain too. If it is the one i had then the Pickups and pots are from a USA Jazz, i imported them! What sort of trades are you looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassJase Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hiya Lem, I don't think this was once yours but not entirely sure, some things have a tendency to be floating from various BC people over time! Yeah it was a pretty nice bass, but my ham-fisted buggering about soon put a stop to that! Trades wise I'm open to any offers, but what I'm really after is a 3U or 4U shallow rack, or a normal 2U rack. Apart from that, strings are always useful or bass dvd's/cd's/books, I'm pretty easy!
