Bought this a couple of years ago and love it (apart from the colour, so I've bought an American Standard PJ). I had Jon Shuker set it up, dress the frets and fit a Gotoh bridge. (The original is included but is sh*te.) [b][size=6]38mm nut![/size][/b] ~4.2kg In great cosmetic condition, just one minuscule paint chip that only goes to the undercoat. The truss rod is functional but not perfect. I took it to Jon worried that the adjusting nut had been stripped but it turned out I was using a metric hex key and Fenders are imperial. Once he gave me the right size key it worked fine. Not sure it'll go super low with really heavy gauge strings though. It's currently strung with Chromes 50-105 and medium-low. All passive, controls are VVT. All original (except the bridge). Comes with the Hiscox case pictured. Collection preferred, but I will post. I'm in Sheffield, but could probably bring to London and combine with a visit to friends if you pay the train fare. Would ship in a box measuring 20x55x140cm and would weigh 15kg or so. I'm guessing postage would be £25-30 but will defer to those in the know. The only trades I'd consider would be: Fender American standard fretless in sunburst or white (if someone has swapped bodies), preferably with custom shop pickups, but I like the older S-1 variation too. Fender deluxe jazz white or sunburst, rosewood only (the model immediately prior to the Elite model). Fender 70s jazz reissue, MIA or MIJ, natural or white, rosewood neck preferred, white blocks only. American standard Precision with a rosewood jazz neck in Olympic white only (with custom shop pickups). Musicman Stingray SLO special, honeyburst, natural or white, rosewood neck, single H 2 or 3 EQ.

Just a feeler at present as I'm awaiting an American standard PJ which will supplant this. Bought this a couple of years ago and love it (apart from the colour). I had Jon Shuker set it up, dress the frets and fit a Gotoh bridge. (The original is included but is sh*te.) In great cosmetic condition, just one minuscule paint chip that only goes to the undercoat. The truss rod is functional but I think the previous owner was a bit rough with it.

Now £300 Hi guys, a recent new bass purchase means I could do with replenishing some funds. I have barely used this amp so offering for sale. It's in excellent condition. There is some scratchiness in some of the pots when they are being turned (but they are fine when stationary). It's nothing a little switch cleaner wouldn't fix. From what I can gather about GK serial numbers, this amp is from week 33 of 2006. I've had it for 4.5 years and it's never left my house and only been used a few times. I'd prefer collection but could post and am based in Sheffield.

If it were in white I'd have had it.

This post is two years old.

Wasn't me, Karl, but perhaps it came up in conversation because I'd posted that I was looking for Precision basses with Jazz necks. Ironically I just bought a California series this weekend on eBay. Update: got it back last weekend from being properly set up and checked over by Jon Shuker and it's playing great! The new flats I had it set up with are now just starting to sound broken in. These are great basses, if only I'd managed to find an Olympic white one… Actually, I'm sure it'll look better if I replace the anodised gold guard with a black plastic one, and it'll improve my health (those anodised guards are hell on your fingernails).

That, sir, is beautiful. I'm incredibly tempted; I have a sterling in natural with rosewood but always loved honeyburst and would love to have the mutes. Where are you located?

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1427972618' post='2736452'] These new Fenders don't have massive necks Price drop to £750 for a quick sale [/quote] I know, I've tried one, but sadly the nut width is still too wide for me.

Damn my small hands! Shame I can't tempt you to put the neck from the Jazz you're selling on this; I'd totally buy it then. Best of luck with the sale.

No problem, I just prefer dealing in person wherever possible; it's good to be able to try stuff out in person.

Wish you were in the UK as I'd be really interested in this.

Where are you based?

What's the nut width on this one, Beedster?

What's the nut width?

Bit out of my way to just drop by, unfortunately. Shame; I love my Sterling, due to the neck and string spacing so am sure this would float my boat in that department too. [quote name='funkle' timestamp='1380059068' post='2220422'] Edinburgh, near the Royal Commonwealth Pool. [/quote]

This has now gone to its new home in Belgium.

Not wishing to create more GAS, but have you checked out the new Fender '74 reissue Jazz? Very tasty.

This has now been sold and paid for; it's just awaiting its new owner to collect it.

Does this come with a case by the way?

Sale pending.
