This will be going to a commission sale when I have time to pack and arrange a courier. That will be in about 2 weeks. So if you fancy it, this is the moment. If this goes I will be OK with that. If it does not go, I will be OK with that. The price is what it is. Well, it was what it was, but now it is £1100 + carriage. Fund my ATC obsession. This is a 2008/2009 USA Fender Jazz. I fancied it reliced because I like reliced. I know some people do not and I am cool with that. It was stripped of Poly and had the right stuff painted on by Mister Retro169. I have kept the serial number on the back of the headstock to prove it is what I am saying it is. I do love a CAR headstock, and part of me is thinking "keep it for the aesthetic". But I have too many basses and I am reaching for my 33" ones more. Unless I want to treat myself and go for the 36" sixer strung with a bottom F#. with a D tuner . Yummy. This is also fitted with a D-tuner on the B. I love big bass, I cannot lie. There is nothing more to say here really. It does all a good Jazz should and looks extra fabulous. It comes with the original HSC which is properly functional but not as complete as it was when it left the factory. I will get a picture up, but it is in the attic and I am tired. Sorry if that spoils your evening. The headstock colour in the main picture is not representative, it caught the light oddly. The headstock-only picture is the proper colour. There is an extra strap lock hole on the back. That is how it came to me. I thought it was odd. But sitting down, it is remarkably comfortable. And sitting down is always more comfortable.

Ah, one of the few basses I have fancied but never managed to get to. Sadly, not this time either.

Anyone been considering and saving up for an upgrade? This is the one you have been waiting for. Buy this or buy something which is not as good for more money later on. The price is right, the seller is right and (having actually played it) the bass is very right. Every time you buy a bass there are the inevitable extra set up costs. No such problem here. This is baragainous.

Is the Premier Royal Ace all original? Probably not. The Gretsch needs a couple of rods and clearly new heads I was going to buy a head to put on it, but then realised that you would probably prefer it cheaper and be able to put your own choice of head on it. Premier £200 Gretsch £120 Both + postage at cost whatever that will be.

Totally. PM me your address. Thanks.
