This series of basses ran from late 2016 until replacement by the Player Plus last year. UNUSUAL high spec for any Fender, let alone Mexico. Precision body Jazz neck (the Player Plus appears to have gone back to standard P 41.3mm nut). Similar logo to late 70's 12 " radius fingerboard (again unusual in Fender). Medium jumbo frets Sculpted neck heel Precision middle pup Noiseless Jazz bridge pup Passive & Active (18 volt, lot of headroom). Vol, blend, treb, bass, active switch, mids (treble works as tone control in passive). Fender High Mass Bridge Fender gig bag 8lb 14oz There are some dints on the back, near lower strap button, from where it fell over. The price reflects this. Wonderful to play with a huge tonal palette. Reason for sale is simple, I got a black, ebony boarded Geezer Butler. Feedback also available elsewhere. COLLECTION from Darlington preferred, or will meet half way, within 100 miles radius of Darlington. Thanks for looking.

These are astonishing basses imo, with a terrific (and I'm fairly sure unique in the Fender range) spec. Jazz neck, P body, passive/active, 12" radius, noiseless pup, high mass bridge. Wonderful to play, the neck & fingerboard just work. A huge tonal pallette. Worth every penny, my Sunburst/Maple is fabulous. GLWYS

On hold thanks.

Unbranded bass hard case, doesn't have a lock (saved me losing the keys). Scuffs, a couple of nicks but sturdy, fully functional & cheap. Sorry, collection from Darlington only (it would cost as much to post as I'm selling it for). Cheers, Karl.

I'm a bit dim & easily confused. Are all these pedals now sold?

Top bloke is our Darren, deal with confidence peeps 😁. Nice price Darren, good luck with your sale.

No longer relevant.

I think with energy & fuel prices that new basses will have another significant hike in the coming months. Having said that it's only a bass, I'm sure most of us already have one 😁.

Cheers Tommi, hope you're ok fella. Oooh matron 😁

I made an expensive recent purchase so I need to recoup some funds. Happy to talk half way meet. Lovely bass in superb condition, nicely set up, decent saving on new. Unlike some of these basses, the truss rod nut is absolutely fine, believe me, I tested it before I bought it. I normally use it without the scratchplate & tug bar, for that JPJ/Sting look, both are included in the sale. A lot of bass for the money imo. Sorry, I can't courier, no box or gig bag Link to embarrassingly long feedback https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/288068-feedback-for-karlfer/page/7/ Thanks for looking, Karl.

I have to. They are all good but tend to be a bit plinky jangly 60's pop-ish so I try to put a bit of drive & balls into some of the songs. Having said they are good, both guitarists have at least one Gibson Les Dawson moment per gig 😁

Thanks @CJPJ I have no idea, I can only listen to it on my laptop & I don't have any headphones. I'm only aware of a vague rumbling. I don't think there was a mix as such, just a punter recorded it on their phone & kindly sent us a link 🙂

You old smoothie 😁

Gutted 😭 I expressed my adoration for the Purple P last week, bought a US Standard on Monday, this come up on Thursday. Good luck Ander it's fabulous.

Thanks gents, indeed they are pretty damn good.

❤️❤️❤️

All PM's replied, please, no more offers of Fender Japan Precisions (unless 70's Re-Issue 😁). Now on FeeBay as well.

I know a service station 😉😁 I think that anybody who likes jazz basses should try one of these if they get the chance, particularly the earlier ones with Rosewood boards. I find it difficult to explain just how good & easy to play the necks are. Road Worn is a bit "love or hate" but I think there would be some interesting results in a blindfold test. I do prefer my (now fully passive, series/parallel, stack knob) Jazz Elite with asymmetrical neck & compound radius fingerboard. But not a lot in it.

Yes you did Dunc, thanks. Glad to be of (emptying your pocket) service 😁

That is gorgeous and being a Lakkue it will be good with it. What scale length is it please?

This was withdrawn in August last year as it's so good, but needs must Made in 2008 for release at winter NAMM 2009. These early models did not have the circular CNC route under the scratchplate, so can be used with the plate off. THEY DID, however, have ROAD W stamped into the body as these first ones were select Alder & the first non Fender Custom Shop Road Worn finish basses. Weight 8lb 14oz. They have a very good rep, please do your research. As they are now discontinued (last rrp was £1279) they will most likely come up less often. Sale as my Elite Jazz is frankly the best jazz I've ever had and I'm looking to try a different kind of bass so this is on the block. TRADE. The ONLY trade I'm looking for is a 2017/2020 Mexico Fender Deluxe Active Precision Bass Special (the one with active/passive switch). It must be in excellent condition please, Sunburst & Maple preferred but happy to talk about the other 2 colours. Bass recorded on mobile phone, I don't have headphones so no idea what it sounds like. Collection from Darlington preferred or I half way meet up to 100 miles radius of Darlington. No gigbag or packaging so I can't courier at the moment. Feedback available. Thanks for looking, Karl.

Thanks Clarky, I tried that first, no reply but I noticed he was following the thread. Slim chance but a man's gotta ask 😁

A very hopeful "still available?"

❤️
