Hi

I've posted this bass here before but had it withdrawn after installing a .130 B string and fell in love with it.
Unfortunately a recent job loss and a pile of bills stacking up is forcing me to sell of most of my gear again,
so here you have another chance to get a bargain deal on an as new FGN (Fujigen factories own brand) Neo classic Jazz bass.

This was bought new just over 6 weeks ago, never left the house and is in immaculate condition.

price new: 1430£

asking price was :975£
but due to the financial trouble that i'm in right now i'm[s] [b]now willing to let this go for 950£ incl. UK shipment, [/b][/s]
[s][color=#000000][b]=> PRICEDROP TO 875£ SHIPPED! => PRICEDROP TO 900£ SHIPPED![/b][/color][/s][color=#ff0000][b] FINAL PRICEDROP TO [s]850£ =>[/s] 825£ SHIPPED!!! [/b][/color]
which is definitely a steal for someone looking for a high end 5 string jazz in mint condition at bargain price. ;)

[b]Will also consider a down-trade with a reasonably priced electric or acoustic 4 string + at least 300£ on top so i can pay some bills.[/b]

Please don't let the fact that i'm overseas hold you back, if you check my feedback you'll see that i've done a lot of deals here on BC and there never was any problem at all with shipping,delivery or any other part of the process.

Comes double boxed with original packaging and a very high quality Fujigen gigbag

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Everything on this bass looks like it has been put together [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]with an amazing eye for detail and the quality,[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]craftsmanship and looks easily surpass any of the Fender jazz's i've ever had the chance to put my hands on. [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif](some reviewers on Talkbass and other forums have even compared the [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]quality of these FGN basses [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]with the Fender custom shop models as each of these basses just feels and looks perfectly right out of the box [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]and the consistency in quality is amazing )[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The frets look like they're PLEK'd and they have some sort of curve to them [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif](they call it CFS in think) so each string hits the fret at the best possible spot and angle [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]to achieve superb playability and intonation.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Although this bass is completely passive and i expected to hear some hum when soloing the bridge or neck pick-up, [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]this bass is dead-quit, I've tried playing all possible combinations of both pick-up's [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]and even with one pick-up on full and the other completely off [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]i haven't managed to get any single coil hum which is really nice if you want to do some recording soloing the bridge or neck pick-up.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The pick-up's pack some serious output and i believe i've read somewhere [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]that they are FGN's take at the custom shop 70's pick-up's.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For those that don't now about [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]FGN [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]basses, they are the own brand of the Fujigen factory that used to make [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]the good old Japanese Fenders and many other top vintage instruments, [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]they've been very well represented on NAMM over the last few years, [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]but over here in Europe they're not very well known yet, [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]which is a shame as they offer way better quality and consistence than the more well known brands a.t.m. [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif](all i.m.o and i.m.e. of course)[/font][/color]

Bump!
i"m now also considering to sell my TC electronic BG250-112 amp, bought at the same time as the bass, also with full waranty and original packaging as i'm planning to go acoustic for a while untill finances get better.
Will only sell the amp if the bass goes as well tho, so prefer to sell them as a set.
Amp is also brand new, never left the house as i just moved and am still looking for a new band atm, will sell as a set for 1090£ shipped to U.K. mainland.
