    I dont think it has any holes like that no. Japanese huh thanks man 
    I think so. This one not only has a similar number (3-9 in this case) written in the pickup cavity, I think I can see the same sort of router marks in the bottoms of your one.

    Would you prefer custard creams or bourbons? I'd stretch to family circle if it includes the pickups :)

    Not at all, a MIJ body and a MIM neck will make quite a decent bass - the body is worth slightly more than the equivalent MIM one.

    A MIJ 62 reissue Jazz seems to sell for up to about £600, so the body is worth around £200 on its own. The neck with tuners maybe £150, the rest of the parts probably about another £100 and the case around £50. Whether you'd get £450-£500 for it complete is another question...

    I dunno - I likes me bourbons. Mind you, I do have a spare pack in the cupboard at the mo :)

    On a serious note - it probly counts as a partscaster as it's not the original neck and body combo, which is going to affect price. Those MiM necks are pretty reasonable tho, and the Jap bodies equally so. If you're determined to sell I think you have two choices - go for an 'as is' sale and expect (as stated) something like £250-£300 - or chance a sale of individual parts - body/neck/hardware/pickups etc. and see if you can scrape a little bit more. The case is worth a few quid on it's own :)

    I think you are right on the money for the body.. but optimistic on the neck and parts. Agree on the case. I'd guess at £400ish for parts. 

    I still think as it is it would struggle to get £300 in the current market

    Definitely don't do that - you'll end up almost giving away the pedal. At the very least sell the bass (with case) and the pedal separately.

    List the Mxr separately... it’s a popular Di box and would attract a wider set of buyers

    Going rate for the Di+ is £90
