Now superceded in my affections . In my defence I'm very shallow.

Not nitro finish sadly, std poly. I believe.

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you afterwards May well keep it though as it is the nicest Fender J I've owned.

Now sold. Thanks for all the interest.

I was thinking the same thing, but I've only managed to find 3 in the UK so far which is a bit irritating.

Sterling by Music Man SB14 bass with branded high quality gig bag – Very good condition For sale is my Sterling By Music Man SB14 bass. The serial number dates the bass to 2010. I have owned the bass since new and it is in excellent overall condition with barely a mark on it. One point to mention: The bass came with a white pearl pickguard to which I took an instant dislike and sprayed to a matt black finish. The nut width on these instruments is pretty slim and quite jazz-like although the depth of the neck is more P bass than J bass. It is however beautifully finished with a lovely silky smooth satin lacquer. Sterling by Music Man SB14 Bass Features: · Body: Basswood · Neck: Maple · Fingerboard: Maple · Pickups: Music Man Humbucking with ceramic magnets and a hum-cancelling phantom coil · Preamp: 3-band Active Preamp: Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass · Bridge: Music Man designed · Tuners: Open Gear The maple fingerboard has been beautifully finished and the fret work is excellent too. The frets themselves have barely any visible wear. This particular bass weighs in at bang on 9lbs by my scales so quite light for the breed. The 3-band EQ plus pickup coil switching allow three options: Parallel for the classic Stingray sound; single coil with phantom coil (for hum cancelling); and series options. The bass comes with an SBMM gig bag; probably the best gig bag I've come across with nice soft and thick padding. Now that we are allowed to move about to a degree I’d much prefer to meet up somewhere in person to exchange the bass with suitable social distancing. A courier would be a last resort and would be for you to organise. I will be very flexible with your collection arrangements as I am working from home all the while. These SBMM basses get a lot of love on t'interweb. Here is a pic to whet the appetite. I will take some more in the next day or so.

Now sold elsewhere, thanks for all the interest. Fender ‘65RI Jazz Bass 2007 MIJ Here is my pretty rare Fender Japan JB65B-85US. I believe that these were non-export models and were built to US spec with Alder bodies and US pickup. The bass is in very good condition. There are no bumps and bruises, no buckle rash and the back of the neck is flawless. Produced in 2007, and as mentioned above, the bass has an Alder body, aged Olympic White finish with a matching headstock, dots and bound neck with a Rosewood fingerboard and USA Vintage pickups. The colour is more cream than white, I have included a picture with some white printer paper over the body for comparison purposes. In a couple of places around the cutaways the finish has turned to a light caramel colour. This appears to be related to the paint and the finish is unbroken. I have tried to photograph this for you to judge. The bass weighs around 4.2kgs (or just over 9lbs in old money) and comes with a nice gig bag. IMO the Japanese reputation for the care and attention to detail they bring to marrying pieces of wood together is well deserved. It’s hard to price they don’t appear for sale that often but I’d like £750 collected. I not in any hurry to part with it and it’ll be no hardship to keep. Now that we are allowed to move about to a degree I’d much prefer to meet up somewhere in person to exchange the bass with suitable social distancing. A courier would be a last resort and would be for you to organise. I will be very flexible with your collection arrangements as I am working from home all the while. Here are some pics, please note that the neck is not as amber as it seems in some of the images. The best representation of the colour is the image of the reverse of the headstock. If you'd like to see any detail please just ask.
