Post bank holiday bump. Just shared to Facebook marketplace too.

Wonderful looking bass! On the lookout for a Stingray Classic too. Unfortunately I have to wait until my jazz bass sells... GLWTS!

Oooooosh, that's a gorgeous finish. GLWTS and a free bump on me.

For sale is my 2008 USA Fender Standard Jazz Bass. Background. I bought this outside of BassChat on NYE 2020. I've owned it since then, where I have played it at a few rehearsals and one gig. I'm selling it as I prefer my EB Musicman Stingray. The plan is to replace this and get another EBMM as a back-up to my main bass. There's a thread where I ramble on about the pros / cons of owning a variety of basses here if anyone's interested: The bass: It's lovely. Classic Fender good looks and sounds. Maple neck, rosewood fretboard. Set up with a low action. Serial no. Z8061692 - made in 2008. The original white pick guard comes with it, but I liked the tort. The original owner's manual / cloth come with it too. There are some pictures, and one video (not the best audio though I'm afraid - just a phone) but happy to send more detailed pics of any specific part if anybody would like a closer inspection. Work done: In Feb. of this year after I bought it, there was a slight issue / ski-jump at the end of the neck which caused the frets at the very extreme of the board to buzz. The luthier removed and re-fretted the last 12 frets, and planed the end of the fretboard to fix the issue. This was carried out as well as a lovely fresh set up and set of strings (which are now a little dull sounding). I've posted some photos of the work he did here. He's a great luthier based in Stroud and I'd recommend him to anyone in the Cotswolds or Glos area - link below. Spent a decent amount of cash getting these bad boys set up. The other neck was my P bass, which he did at the same time. Nightingale Guitars - Weight: I don't know the weight. I don't own scales but it's certainly not very heavy. Having said that, it's not swamp-ash so it's also not the lightest. Will try and find out, but might be a while. Price: Firm. Trades: If you have a 90s or earlier EB MM Stingray with a Flea bridge, bird's eye maple neck in an alluring finish? Or perhaps a Stingray "Classic" with the string-through body I'd be interested to get into a discussion. The case / gig-bag. When I bought it it came in this shoddy looking gig-bag. It's rubbish. It's labelled as "superior" but it's anything but. I wouldn't put my worst enemy's bass in it. However, it's the only one it's got and the price is slightly lower to reflect this. This is also the reason why I am unable to post / courier this bass, unless a buyer wants to volunteer funds for shipping and a case. Location: Stroud, Glos. Happy for buyer to collect over a cuppa. Alternatively, happy to drive to a convenient half-way meeting point for a service station deal. I don't have a battery powered amp though if you want to plug it in. Payment: Cash ideally. If not, bank transfer works too. Thanks for looking, any questions please either reply below or private message me and I'll do my best to get back to you as quickly as I can. Cheers-ta-nice one.

PM'd. Jack

Hello Pete, Thanks for the question. I am not the original owner of the amp. I bought this from a friend-of-a-friend. In fact, it was my drummer's older brother (who is a bassist). I cannot vouch for the warranty, I'm afraid. I'm not even sure what year the amp was manufactured in. I certainly wasn't made aware of any warranty on it when I bought it. From a quick search online it looks like the V3 may have been lauched sometime in 2016... but I could be wrong. Thanks, it certainly is in good condition. Thanks, Jack

Thanks for the testimonial @Angelus. From my experience, I think you are right. I have never really needed to "push" this amp. Even on large outdoor stages throughout the summer I have been more than comfortable with just this combo. I did have the Fender extension cabinet (2 x 10) but only used it once. That's sold too! It really is an impressive bit of kit for the money.

Lovely, no problem Matt. Speak to you soon. Jack

Hello @mattbass6, No problem at all for the questions- happy to answer. I play in a band called The Achievers which are a R N' B band based in the South-West. I've put a link up to the website where you can see some videos of us playing. The majority of what you see I will have been using this amp. https://www.theachieversuk.com/ I've owned it since Sept. 19, and it's probably on average done 2 -3 gigs per month with the band. There have been periods of more intese use. For example, during Oct. 19 we had a 14x day tour of Spain in which I used this. These are very loud considering their size, and the amp has really never had the opportunity to be pushed particularly hard. You can see from the videos our drummer uses a small "cocktail" kit, which is much quieter than a standard kit. Because of this I've not had to work particularly hard to keep up in terms of volume. Hope that's enough information, but please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Jack

Hi all, ***REDUCED - 01-07-20 - £400.00*** FOR SALE ONLY: Fender Rumble V3 bass amplifier combo Class D bass amp. Powerful, punchy and portable. I’ve had it since about Sept. 2019. Had a decent gigging life, and has been very reliable through UK and European tours. Always stored indoors in a smoke free environment. Reason I’m selling is I’m moving house, shortly. and I’ve also upgraded to a Mark bass / barefaced rig, so this is surplus. Full specs online of course, but it’s a belter of an amp. It’s also got a nice padded Roqsolid cover too. Any questions please shout. I am in Cirencester, but could meet halfway and follow all the usual distancing norms if you wanted. Any questions please PM me. Thanks, Jack

Wow, that's lovely. I saw Ian Allison online using one of these (his was a proper vintage one) to record with on his Insta and it just sang. Never had the inclination towards a hollow body bass before, but now I do! Alas, the timing is not on my side. GLWTS though, and have a bump on me.
