kets Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Evening all, Up for sale is my Fecker Jizz "bitsa" bass, which I swopped last year from Davetbass. I don't really want to sell it, however I'd like to get the twisted neck on my Musicman sorted, so it's up for sale to fund that. It has a Mighty Mite maple/maple neck and the frets have been dressed so it plays really well and is lovely and slim. The origin of the body is unknown. It has EMG active pickups and wiring with traditional jazz controls and really nails the classic Jazz sound. It also has black hardware with Badass 11 bridge and Wilkinson tuners. Currently strung with Ernie ball slinky's. It's in Olympic white and I've added a tort scratchplate, however the original brass anodised one will be included. I'll also include a "Fender Jazz Bass" made in U.S.A. decal, which I never got round to fitting. The body and neck have a few marks here and there, but generally good. Any questions, please ask. Edited to include possible trade for an amp head of some sort. No more than 200 watts required. Peavey, Trace Elliot or similar?

Bought as a project on this forum and lovingly coaxed into a really powerful bass. Finishing touches were made by a local luthier who profiled the frets and set the whole thing up. That alone cost 120 quid so a bargain to be had!! Cheers Stu Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kets Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys. It is indeed a great bass and Dave is a top bloke to deal with. The decal hasn't been lacquered over, so I suspect you'd be able to remove it without sanding, I'm no expert though. There'll be a thread on here somewhere that explains how. I think the new decal is a waterslide transfer, so it shouldn't be too difficult to apply (Famous last words...!) I'll have a look in the morning.

Should come off with a good soaking and the surface is already perfect for applying the new decal. It really is the camels doohdah!! D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kets Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 More interest, but no offers yet! I can include a Gig bag in the price if that helps. Kets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kets Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 I've added trade options to the original post. Looking for an amp head, no more than about 200w required, ideally a Peavey, Trace Elliot or similar. Anyone? Kets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kets Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Still no takers on this one and no further trade's offered either, so I'll probably be withdrawing it from sale. I'm not really prepared to drop the price because it's worth more to me as a cracking bass and I don't need to sell it. Last chance...!
