FT/FS Fender Jazz USA & G&L USA

ledyard · #1 02-11-2010, 02:07 AM

Ok, First up, 2004 Fender Jazz bass. Inca Silver with black pick guard. Also Silver tort (see pics) Has Series/parallel switch in the volume knob. Couple minor dings as shown in pics. Plays beautiful sounds like a USA JAzz

Only issue is week or two ago the bridge volume pot started to turn past stop. If you apply too much pressure it keeps turning. It still functions correctly, hell I wouldnt hesitate to gig it. But I havnt replaced it yet cause I was waiting for the new cap I ordered for it to come in so both could be done at the same time.

Here are the pics. Both basses, same album. (please excuse the finger prints allover the jazz)

Second up is a 90's (guessing 93-96') G&L climax 4. Its a refin. You will also see where some jackass couldnt make up his mind at one point where he wanted the thumb rest. My luthier told me for $30-40 he could fill them with dark wood and make them look like knots or burls or fill it with light wood and barely notice it. Really fast jazz neck. I had a professional refret done 1-1.5 years ago. Smoothest rosewood board I have ever played on. Damn near ebony feeling.
the bass sounds straight up sabbathy. Thats the best way to put it. But I play it through a D-180 and a 68 SVT.
Bass cut, treble cut, vol. are the knobs. active/passive is the first switch and either series/parallel or coil split is the second.

I would prefer trades. 4 string only. The only 5 string I would consider is a Warwick thumb BO.
Looking for:

*P Bass MIA. 70's or 2000's. Refin's are ok if older. I want a player not a collector. Do not want sunburst. Black, natural, red, white ect.

*Warwick Thumb 4. Ovenkol or bubinga body, wenge or ovenkol neck, wenge or ebony fret board.

Would consider a Corvette, streamer, or fortress(old one). No rock basses. Also possibly a spector.
Thats pretty much what I'm after but if you think you have something cool lets hear it.

Will trade 2 for 1 or 1 for one, whatever. I will give anyone that requests, my ebay info. Over 450 positive feedback (100%)

Just a heads up: per forum rules, if you post an item as FS then you have to list a price.

Well they are more for trade than sale. But for "rules" sake we will say $850 fender and $450 G&L for now.

Nut width on the G&L? Weight? Case? Full body shots?

Nut width is same or even 1/16" less than a jazz. VERY slim. I dont have a scale. Its not a heavy bass at all though. Alder body, maple neck. I have a couple crappy full body shots I can show you.

Since I dropped the origional $450 price to $375 I will be shipping with a gig bag. Will be fully boxed and packed to protect it otherwise.

ledyard · #14 02-14-2010, 11:28 AM

Couple full body shots of the G&L for those who asked.

You've been PM'd

And to update.....I am retarded.

The volume pot issue on the fender is fixed!!! I did notrealize the knobs were set screw ones and not press on. Its as simple as the set screw was loose. There is NO issue with the volume pot.

ALSO......last night I took out the stock capacitor off the tone pot and installed a new Sprague "orange drop" capacitor. .047 400v (NOT 200v !!) Not one of the crappy ceramic ones either. Have a pic of it installed if anyone requires it.

What does this do for the bass?
