Ideally looking for a trade. Maybe someone out there who's decided that a 5 string is not for them.
I bought this as a bitsa. It may, or may not have Fender origins however, it plays like a dream, as good as any standard Fender jazz I've ever owned.
Nice low action, working truss rod. Wilkinson Jazz set, Wilkinson gold coloured bridge, gold control plate, gold tuners, gold strap buttons and gold Fender anniversary neck plate. It's very pretty in metallic cerise and black headstock and the tort plate. 38mm at the nut, 19mm string spacing, 9lbs 2oz at the bathroom scales.
No idea of neck or body origin but I would guess it's a Fender neck as it's such nice quality. It has a head-stock Ser No dating to 1978 which is obviously not correct. (S829127) Neck has a beautiful honey hue to it and is seriously comfy and nippy.
It sounds great, it plays great. Reason for sale (preferably trade) is that I'm doing pubs and don't want to take my immaculate Elwood 5a to have beer thrown over by p***heads so,
I need a cheap 5 string about the same value. A Squier 5 (Jazz or Precision) maybe a battered far eastern Sterling plus a few quid from me, a nice OLP 5. Not really fussed about scratches, the odd dent or pickup configuration but not an Ibanez. Good as they are, I can't stand that SoundGear headstock.
Don't care about string spacing and might even consider a cheapy 6er despite my arthritic wrists telling me no. I only need a B string for 5 numbers so pretty much anything will do.
No case so handover preferred, or the usual dodgy car park within 15 / 20 miles of me. Welcome to come and try in Ashill near Swaffham/Watton IP25 7DA
So, just let me know what you've got. Might say yes, might say no. Don't mind adding a few quid for the right one.
