Sorted-WTB-Jazz bass or similar

BeardyAndy

New to bass but really enjoying it, coming to it as a veteran guitarist means that although I've got a lot to learn I already know the basics.

I have an old Korean Legend P bass that's wildly nose heavy, needs new pots and keeps going out of tune so figure its best to keep that as a spare (my new band seem to have a habit of picking covers in a verity of tunings) and putting the money into something better. Don't want anything active, just a good old work horse do all and from what I've listened to online I seem to prefer the sound of a Jazz to a Precision.

Don't want to spend a lot, need to move on some other stuff to fund it but I'm thinking in the £300 zone. I've a nice Telecaster on here if anyone's interested in trades?

I have a 2014 Squier VM Jazz Bass with the 1962 cosmetics and Duncan Designed JB-101 pickups. 

Hardly used. The shop set the bass aside for an education sector customer. Local government never allocated funds.

Do you have a link to that, please?

BeardyAndy

@Funkfingers here you go.

I'd be very interested in the VM, that was what started me on this journey as you never hear anything bad said about them.

I shall have to take photographs of my Squier bass.

Unfortunately, your partially stripped MIM Telecaster is too similar to a G&L Tribute ASAT Classic that I am part way through refinishing.

BeardyAndy

@Funkfingers fair enough, it was sadly a case of having to strip it back as when i bought it it was in a really bad state. I'm listing it for less than i paid for it but the body really puts people off, I might swap the neck over to my parts caster and sell that one instead?

Let me know when you've got some pics of the Squier, what colour is it?

Funkfingers

Three-tone sunburst with faux tortoiseshell pickguard. Rosewood fingerboard (as opposed to roasted Laurel or whathaveyou).

Thanks for the offer. I'm actually putting it on a back burner for now as we have found a bassist so i'm back on lead guitar duties. Shame as I was enjoying the bass but a new amp beckons!
