Hi - reluctantly selling my Japanese Fender Medium Scale Jazz (JB62M). I imported this myself from Ishibashi in Japan & was a now discontinued non-export model, so a bit of a rare bass over here. Basically, it is a '62-style Jazz Bass, but slightly scaled down in proportion to the smaller scale length, which is a bit like playing one fret up. Since discovering the 32" scale I've pretty much given up on full scale now, as it's so much more comfier & lighter (this was weighed by Ishibashi as a very comfortable 3.9Kg, or 8.6lb). Condition is really good - I was told it is from 2012 & only has a bit of light play wear, which was there when I bought it. It plays really nicely & can't fault it - only selling it as I'm not playing as much as I'd like since the kids came along & it deserves to be played. I'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne & would like £500 collected for it. Postage could be an option - send me a PM & I'll see what I can do... Cheers, B.

Thanks for all the interest, but I've decided to withdraw this & hang on to it for now...

Bump - open to offers for a cash / collection deal...

Thanks for the interest - sold it locally. Cheers B.

Bump - still interested in a trade for a short scale bass

[quote name='basski' timestamp='1471703297' post='3115208'] love it !!! [/quote] Cheers!

PMs replied to - I could do this for £550 posted. Cheers, B.

[quote name='Tonteee' timestamp='1471283178' post='3111823'] If I lived anywhere near Newcastle upon Tyne, you'd have sold this..... Is there no postal option? [/quote] Hi Tonteee - was hoping for a cash / collection deal ideally as don't have much packing material to hand for this. Will see if I can sort something out. Alternatively, PM me your location - know a few people who get around... Cheers, B.

[quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1471245744' post='3111420'] Free bump for a great bass. £200 is an absolute steal - one of the nicest Medium scale basses out there. Someone grab it - you can't go wrong. [/quote] Thanks Eric! Totally agree - build quality is up there with top-end SBs I've seen & it has a lovely burp played near the bridge. Only found one other advertised & it's a lot more than this - if I had more space in the house I'd keep it... Cheers, B.

Bump!

Bump!

Bump - surprised this is still here, so open to offers...

Bump! Will consider trading this for a short scale bass with cash either way for the right instrument...

No problem Paul - good luck with your clear out!

Just restrung this with some medium scale Thomastik flats I forgot I had & it sounds great! I'll do it with the Thomastiks on & a new set of the Status 40-100 flats like it had on in the video (another find today!) for £600 posted. Cheers, B.

Hi Paul - don't have any scales in the house at the mo. The previous owner told me it was around 3.8kg (or 8.5lbs to oldies like me) when he weighed it, which feels about right. Cheers, B.
