P-T-P Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) This is another I feel a bit bad about as I only picked it up last week in a deal, but as mentioned in other threads, I'm trying to fund a cure some really bad GAS so need to clear some gear. This is a 2005 model Fender Standard Jazz Bass Fretless. That's a Mexican one for those who, like me, get a bit confused by the billion variations on a theme that is Fender's way these days. It is in exceptionally good condition, aside from the curious absence of 4 screws from the scratchplate which can surely be easily replaced. Not 100% on the correct colour nomenclature, but I believe it to be Electron Blue (it is a smidge darker than in the pics) which is very attractive and has a luscious, deep shine reminiscent of Candy Apple Red, only it's blue, if that makes sense. Take a look... [attachment=4976:mex_01.jpg][attachment=4977:mex_02.jpg] Fender's QC is very hit and miss lately across all of the MIM and MIA ranges, but I have to say that the construction and finsh on this bass are excellent. The neck feels very comfortable and the fretlines are all nicely installed. You don't get the diversity and extremes of tones that you find on the MIA and MIJ basses, but what tones there are are very usable indeed. In fact I took it to a couple of gigs over the weekend just for a noodle with a bit of volume involved and all the band were very impressed with it. It comes with a gig bag (well nylon carry bag type thing, there's not much in the way of padding) and I'm looking for £220 (was £250) but am open to offers as I need to sell quick if I'm to get the bass I want before someone else does. I'd prefer not to have to post if possible, prefer to meet somewhere for a little fuel money, but postage can be arranged if this is not possible, though not sure who the best courier would be to use nowadays. I'll take PayPal on this if you'll cover the fees (about 3.5%) so long as your address is confirmed and account is verified. I can supply this with a fretted Fender MIM Classic Series 60s neck if preferred, or can do the bass with both necks for £300 ono PM me or e-mail to pete at peteward dot co dot uk or call me on 07851 671773.
