Amazed this is still here . Bump

Thanks chaps. Update. The proffered Rick exchange was sold, the chap doesn't want to buy this Fender. Stingrays. Neither quite the right deal and nut width a bit of a challenge. Sterling different matter of course . The Spanish Welsh and German contingent have gone quiet. Thanks for the discussion Mike, but the Urge has 3 pups. That would terminally confuse the family braincell. So, still listening to offers.

Had a plop on this tonight as well. Musicman thingy's not my bucket of cappucino but fabulous neck on this.

I have just played this tonight. What a splendid little critter. For those of you who like jazz kinda necks on a light bass look no further. Very good bass.

Played this tonight. Lovely bass great pre amp system on it. Unusually for a Japanese 75 ro it does not weight the same as the Clifton Suspension bridge. Lovely bass, top fella.

Don't be shy, 400 Scottish pounds (topical ) and your greenest Mr. Osborne wouldn't go amiss! Seriously though, thanks for the bump but it is currently looking possible to be turned into a Welsh Rick 4003 next week. Unless the chaps buyer turns up tomorrow in which case the Rick seller will probably trouser the money and forget about me . Edit. Guilty pleasure 70's disco funk. Step this way sir

[quote name='Johannes Oehl' timestamp='1385729651' post='2291583'] Fender vintage basses have only gone up in value in recent years, especially the 70s Jazz Basses. If you want a 70s JB in Germany in a music store you will hardly find any under 3000€ (in original condition). [/quote] And that really must continue as 50's and 60's basses become even more scarce. Stands to reason that the next relatively affordable vintage Fenders will be the 70's ones. Bump again

OK, I had a query about the price. They were $2200 dollars in 2002. Usually, dollars in the US equate to about £'s by the time they get to Britain, with taxes, import, carriage etc. So, if you could have found a new one in Britain when they came out, I would guess they would have been upwards of about £1800. Can't actually find any new one sold in Britain, but my internet detection skills are up there with Clouseau's

Glorious Clarky, everything a bass should be. What folks need to remember is with older basses, there are going to be less opportunities as people start to use 70's basses as investments. Some people are asking pushing a grand for relatively recent Japanese basses. 50's and 60's Fenders come up rarely and at generally difficult prices for most of us to justify spending on a bass. This is where 70's basses fit in. It's a lot of money, but good value and somebody will come along with the loot required and the mindset of great bass, playable bass, value bass and valueable bass. Now, who amongst you gets Christmas bonuses . GLWTS

Fabulous price Olly, get it banged on Bumtree and Preloved. Amazing bargain, Hell, the right person could get £50 back moving the Badass on.

Wish I could take photos like that. GLWTS Chris

Pete you sod I've waited a long time for one of these to come up and yours was the only one I knew of . About the only time I've been really skint for months.If my jazz goes, I'll be a knockin' GLWTS

Yummy! Get it bought you lot.

Very nice bass and according to my wife, very nice fella GLWTS Les aand a bumpy!

And another bass put up for sale, really like the look of this fella.

Cracking basses!

Further pm's replied. When one pm's it, would be nice if one bumped . Interest from Germany and Spain on this one. C'mon England Attempts at slightly better photos, bass is really in excellent condition, but the lighting shows I need to get a polishing!

Sod it, pm'd . Bump.

PM's replied. Always tricky with Fender, but as I understand it (happy to be corrected) the serial numbers were 00001 to 01000 over the four colours that were made. People are advertising the STANDARD USA 75 RI at £1250 and upwards now they are discontinued. Not suggesting to buy this as an investment, but I would be surprised if they ever fall in price. Cheers, Karl.

[quote name='Bassman666' timestamp='1385419121' post='2288159'] I bought Karl's one and its an awesome bass! Lovely neck and I've upgraded to dimarzio's does make me crave a 'proper' attitude! That looks great in black! [/quote] Having had a "proper" Attitude, I preferred this model tbh. This has a thinner nut, the proper one is a baseball bat and the x tender doesn't help the already present neck dive on the "proper" one. As for two outputs, I've never had two amps . Scalloped frets, I'm not allowed up the dusty end. The Dimarzio's are a good move though. The pups on these are good, the pups on the "proper" model are sensational. More growl than a p'd off Rottweiler . You lot better be quick, I only live about 10 miles from Martyn, they may be a pick up offer going in anytime . If it had been green it would already be gone!

REDUCED TO £1100 2002 very limited edition US jazz, rare bass. Hopefully attached is a link to Talkbass. Mine is serial number 00167, in very good nick. Not had it long, but it is far too precious for me to use in the gigs we play. Will take a Fiesta Red, road worn series Mex jazz in part ex. Bass is in Wigan, would like [s]£1200 [/s]£1100 cash collected. The following link shows one exactly the same with the specification, on a thread on T***bass.

Struggling to get in to little room for photos as my Ma is occupying it at the moment. No PAINPal, bank transfer, cleared cheque or cash in grubby paw please. If you do not live on these shores and wish to buy it, you will need to organise your own courier and insurance. My last two have gone to Sweden and Germany, so it is possible. UK mainland courier will be about £35 including full insurance. Anybody close to Wigan please feel free to come and try and my feedback is at bottom of post.
