I've decided to make some room around here so I'm putting my beloved Lake Placid Blue JOBO 5 and my sweetheart Butterscotch Blonde Fender Jazz up for sale.  Hardshell cases for both.  I can provide photos upon request...

I would love to see a couple musicians in this community put them to good use. Please contact me if there is any interest!

 Cheers! 

Patrick

Bump for Patrick. I'm not going to buy a bass, but I wanted to say thanks for the t-shirts last night. Cool beans!

You're welcome! Great to see you at the show, Jake. Looked for you after our set, but I think you guys had hit the road already.

 

Bump for some great instruments!

Mexican, American, Japanese? 

I'm quite racist when it comes to fender instruments.

The J is an American one from around 2002.  It also has 62 reissue pickups in it (I feel like they break up a bit earlier and offer a bit more snarl and growl when a player digs in a bit...which I love)  Maple neck, solid black guard.  The Dunlop strap locks go with it...

If I knew how to put pictures on here, I'd post them.  I'm happy to email them to anyone that asks.

Bump for two great basses for sale!!!!

I believe this is the Jazz Bass.

 

And this is the Lakland

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, Patrick.  Both are beautiful basses.  Somebody should buy these today.

You neglected to mention that they both have maple fretboards, too. Damn you righties!

I should disclose that if anyone would prefer the original stock pickups for the J bass, Patrick generously left them in my care a year or two ago. I still have them and they haven't been installed in anything, so they're available for the asking to the purchaser of the J (or, of course, to you, Patrick).

Patrick,

 

Do we need to talk?  What are you doing?!  The name of the game is to aquire as many basses as possible before we leave this mortal coil.  Ask Ian, he is well aware of how many basses it takes to get to the center of an after life-pop.

 

Jeff,

Maple boards are the bomb diggity.  Must be a wasp thing, you wouldn't understand....

Scat by numbers.

Methinks you misunderstand me. I would never impugn the Holy Maple; rosewood is for chumps (and us lefties who have to live with what we can get our paws on). I was simply lamenting that I'd probably be interested in either/or of these fine instruments if only they weren't strung downside up.

My apologies my good sir.  Perhaps ordering a Warmoth lefty body to go with the neck?

 

You know that reverse headstock lends itself to drop tunings rather nicely.

Oh, so now I'm a chump.  Just wait, Jeff, you'll get yours.  Angry

The only thing Rosewood's good for is Beverly Hills Cop!

I like the looks of maple better, but honestly I don't buy into the "vast" tonal differences.  I say that's minimal at best.

Nice work, Coop. It's killing me to let them go.  But I need to free up some smack for another pending expense!

Great.  This was only a matter of time.  Smile

If anything, I'd say maple is a bit brighter, but strings, the tone knob, and the players touch just about negate any different the fretboard material might make.

My Glaub is maple as well.  Got a picture of that one too, Coop?  Stick out tongue

An action shot even.  Patrick has great taste in basses.  I'm actually gaga over all three.  I'd also like to add that Patrick takes better care of his stuff than almost anyone I've met.  You can buy with confidence.

What's THAT supposed to mean?! 

Just think of how fast the Osborn would sell if you mentioned all of it's prestigious previous owners!  Wink  Hell that goes the same for the Fender.

Is it just me or is there a real incestuous pattern to all these basses floating around?

No incest on the left-hand side of the aisle... fuckers.
