Thank you chaps I'm SOOOO glad I put a link to specs in post #1 Then re-iterated it in post #12. [b]PAY ATTENTION[/b]

In my humble opinion, these are the very best of the varying 50's style basses. Don't know about CS but they would need to be very special to be better than one of these. I've had a couple and they have both been excellent but I just really don't get on with 1.75 " nuts. Having said that, these are quite shallow back to front so for me have been the easiest of the full fat nut for me to play. Usually very light with superb pick up. These Ash, White Blonde/maple are just the best looking GLWTS, great basses.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1466013110' post='3072840'] That's good. It's the wrong colour anyway. [/quote] [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1466014546' post='3072848'] Wrong colour for metal! [/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1466014630' post='3072851'] Wrong colour for wood, too. [/quote] Are we finished ladies?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1465990217' post='3072610'] Ahh! GAS!! [/quote] You are being silly now aren't you.You've just managed to sell the last one you shouldn't really have bought This bass is quite likely to be staying as t'other looks to be on it's way. Just glad I didn't need to put my Adam Clayton Jazz up

Thanks folks. Sold, cheers, Karl.

All PM's replied, quite a staggering response. Between FB and here, since yesterday afternoon there have been 11 offers of trade, 2 "can I come and try it" and 3 offers to simply buy. Sadly all 3 offers to buy came from the continent, Germany, France and Italy. I am no longer prepared to send any of my gear outside of the UK. Thanks all, cheers, Karl.

All PM's replied thanks. If my 89 Jazz Bass Special goes 1st, this will be withdrawn. UK only now, cheers, Karl.

I was literally just going to PM you dood

Lovely, lovely bass! GLWTS

My Road Worn has had lots of trade offers, but no buyers, so this needs to go up sadly. 1989 Fender Japan Jazz Bass Special, Duff's was a slightly earlier 85 one of these. As it's later, it has the jazz neck, satin rear of neck (instead of black) and the bigger bridge, which like all of them has little bits of paint coming off. Colour is Turquiose, but, green in some light, blue in others. Lots of little dinks, swirls etc, but it is in good condition for 27 years old. The little Eddie Head position markers will peel off and leave no residue, they just help me to see, up the dusty end. Fake, usable G&G style case inc. SO; Jazz neck Precision body P/J pups selector switch vol, vol TBX tone Weight a rather light 8lb 6oz (basswood bodies, they all were). [url="http://support.fender.com/manuals/instruments/Jazz_Bass_Special_(Japan1987"]http://support.fende...cial_(Japan1987[/url])_manual.pdf You can of course buy the current Duff signature bass, a Mexican version at around £1075 in GAK etc. £450 collected from Wigan (or meet up within 50 miles of Wigan) £475 couriered mainland UK Feedback at bottom of post, any trial in Wigan. Whatever I've forgotten, I'll add later, thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

Thanks for the bump Tom it's 44.5mm or 1.75 inch, but they are quite a shallow C profile. For the terminally Guisborough-ish amongst us; go to post #1 open link on line 4 scroll down a touch to the box entitled features open that box On a more serious note, if this doesn't go in the next day or so, I will need to put up my 89 Fender Jazz Special. When one of those sells, I will be done. I've just been scammed for £280 plus a phone call to the States, that will probably cost about that as well. Absolutely nothing to do with Basschat, but my confidence is just so hit that I'm going back to phone/branch visit for financial stuff and just avoiding the internet. Second time I've been conned/robbed, reckon if I'm not on it will make it harder.

Thanks guys. I'm leaving this up for sale due to an expensive computer system repair bill I've just received. Cheers, Karl.

EDIT, SORRY, it's 2004/2005 (we all know about Fender Japan dating!) Apologies to all, I've had my network hacked. 4 hours and $430 dollars later, I'm still not convinced I haven't been conned. But a screen that would not allow anything until Microsoft had been contacted, well, buggered if I know. Excuse my language but I f***ing hate technology Anyway, the 3 that wanted to buy have been informed where they are chronologically, cheers, Karl. SOLD thanks.

Quite light (unusual for Japan) at 8lb 14oz.. These don't come up that often on these shores. Model no PB57-80US Alder body Maple Gold anodised US Vintage pick up 42mm nut, C profile neck. Bad bits; Scratch and slight scuffing on back. Not through to wood, won't photograph. Same applies to a dink above the lower horn. As happens on many "neck off, truss rod adjust" Fenders, the paint is cracked both sides of neck joint. YOU REALLY HAVE TO LOOK HARD to see it though, they are tiny, top surface paint cracks only. There is no case or gig bag HOWEVER, I will provide the crappest Fender hardcase (no handle, beat to Hell, bust plastic, more road kill than road worn) to courier the bass in . Please note, if the Road Worn I have for sale goes before this lovely bass, it will be withdrawn £550 collected from Wigan, will meet up within 50 miles of Wigan at no extra charge, extra £30 UK insured courier. Bass will be properly cleaned before sale. The first photo is a library, not of the actual bass. Any trial in Wigan, your rig or mine. Feedback at bottom of thread. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

Did this one sell?

Is it not Candy Tangerine?

This is very obviously the most beautiful bass on the planet

Why does every gorgeous Dingwall that comes up have to be a 5
