All PM's replied to. Bass is still for sale..... but I picked it up again recently, and I'm still torn.... I may decide to withdraw this bass - it's so good. Alternatively, I could sell a recently acquired Squier JV Jazz... but again, that's a nice bass Sigh, one must go

As others have said Andy - sorry to hear of your separation Hope you're doing ok GLWTS

I'm in Cardiff. Have just PM'ed you @therasonic450. Happy to meet somewhere.

Hmmm, maybe you have a point there @Mister RLP I recently had TI Flats on a P bass, and it just didn't feel quite "right"... however, the same strings on another P bass, and it felt & sounded great.... odd eh? I'd played another Jazz, fitted with flats and thought I'd give them a whirl on this bass - hey presto, I instantly liked it, so the strings stayed put. I'm happy to leave the flats on this lovely Jazz and let the buyer take the nearly-new Rounds for free too - so they have the choice. As you say, maybe the right strings do find the right bass? Cheers now

Not sure about that. I didn't check the bridge on the new one I tried (just before lockdown). The bridge on this one is a BBOT - but I do like the threaded saddles on it. Looks proper vintage to me.

Hi, Zummerbass must have missed your questions @RaNoFuNkY & @Scoobs I can confirm, this is indeed a standard 60's CV neck Can't recall the exact dimensions, but it was near identical to a US Precision which had a "C" shape / profile neck. It wasn't overly wide at the nut, and definitely on the shallower side in profile (front to back). The neck on this is really comfortable to play - I'm not keen on necks that are wide and deep. It's also glossy, but I didn't find it became "sticky" in warm conditions. Wish I could justify re-acquiring this bass - it's a beaut

I too had one of these, and really regret selling mine I previously wasn't that fussed about the colour, but as soon as I owned one of these - I simply loved the colour, and the pickguard and dark Rosewood fretboard Looks absolutely lush IMHO Like so many of us on here, I too have too many in my collection.... or I'd be looking for another one of these! GLWTS

Wow! That is one lovely looking bass. GLWTS Esteve

PRICE: £750 (original control plate only) I can't believe I'm doing this, as I'm a fan of the RW series... but I need to thin the herd (I've just got too many). FOR SALE ONLY is my superb Fender Roadworn Jazz bass. It's one of the earlier models to be available. I played a new one in a shop recently, in rather fetching Fiesta Red, and it didn't feel half as nice as this one. Those in the know, will appreciate just how good these basses are. They feel "worn-in" and well played, and look and sound the business. I weighed it on some accurate digital scales, and it's around 3.8 - 3.9 Kgs - which is very light for a Jazz. I fitted a Kiogon Stacked control wiring loom and added a Brass earth strip, for that added touch of 60's vibe. I grew to really like the added option of a tone control on each pickup. The price includes the original control plate too - but I'm willing to drop my asking price a bit, if you only want the original control plate. Collection only please, I'm in South Wales. I always prefer to let the buyer try before buying, and make sure everyone's happy, and I prefer not to trust couriering expensive instruments. I'm happy to meet halfway somewhere - I've got a battery amp, so you can test the bass. Absolutely no trades at all (unless you have a Wingbass) - as I say, I need to thin the herd, sadly It's currently fitted with Flatwound strings - "Flats on a Jazz?" I hear you say I can let you have a nearly new set of Rotosound rounds, if that's your preference - I fitted them for a couple of weeks and then tried flats on the bass, and grew to like it that way EDIT: Now with Original Control plate ONLY - someone wanted the Stacked Control plate separately.

Really nice looking bass @Clarky. I'm a fan of Japanese built Fenders. Never played a bad one yet. Looks like an ideal neck for those of us who prefer a slightly slimmer nut width too If I was looking for a P bass (and I can't - I already have too many!) I'd be all over this. Lovely colour, not seen a MIJ / CIJ in that colour before GLWTS sir EDIT: "I only need one Precision bass".....er? No, you don't... you need two, or possibly three

@Daveyboyrooster - firstly, I'm sorry to hear of your redundancy woes Secondly, I've dealt with Daveyboy in the past, and he's a decent sort, and good, trusted BC'er - so buy with confidence folks Thirdly, thanks to @Henrythe8 for that concise list of neck profiles... very useful, cheers Fourthly (if there's such a word) GLWTS mate, and all the best for a decent outcome re the job situation

I bought a Roadworn P from Daveyboy, several years back. The neck on that one had also been slimmed / modified by the same Luthier Daveyboy used on this one I've played other Roadworn Fenders, including a Precision with its' standard neck (and I've owned a RW Flea Jazz, and currently own a Roadworn 3TSB Jazz) Yes, the necks are all superb on the Roadworn Fender basses - but I have to say, the Luthier in question did an absolutely top job on that RW P I had. In fact, I wouldn't have known that it had been altered at all, unless I'd compared it to other Roadworn Precisions.... The woodwork was neat, and the finish felt superb It's the very same comfortable, "worn-in" feel - but it's just that bit slimmer... It felt more comfortable to my left hand anyway If you want a Roadworn P, but prefer a slimmer neck - then this is the bass for you

I had one of these too. Great basses. Wish I hadn't sold mine Wish I had room for one of these.... but already have too many - otherwise, I'd have this GLWTS

Yes, I purchased that one sometime back, and it was a great bass - the neck re-profiling was a top job In the end, I only traded it on because I was after something similar, but with a Rosewood fretboard.... Although there are times when I wish I hadn't... still I'm happy with the P basses I now own (and in fact, I still have too many! lol) Yes, I'm well thank you good sir - hope you are too? Just wanted to add, that Daveyboy is a top BC'er and these basses are superb GLWTS mate

Hmmm, am I suffering a bout of Deja Vu @Daveyboyrooster ??
