4 candles Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Howdy, Selling this beauty, simple fact is I brought this as its stunning and also for its potential investment potential. But I never use it Pictures and text coutesy of James the previous owner (many thanks mate) Its a fender "made in japan" jazz in surf green .A future classic for sure and a snip at this price The serial number is J followed by six digits, which indicates it was made in 1989/1990. The bass has been set up nicely, with a low action and sounds great! The pickup screws are a little bit rusty, so dont move fully up unfortunately. Bass has been cleaned up and strung with new rotos. the body has a few dings, the neck is fairly good for a 20-21 year old bass. Facts; The pickguard has got holes in it for a pickup cover, but the body hasn't [url="http://www.fender.com/support/colorchart.p...en&color=41"]http://www.fender.com/support/colorchart.p...en&color=41[/url] - closest color thats similar on fender colour chart I AM NOW LOOKING FOR £400 COLLECTED payment by cheque, cash or bank transfer l, i can post to any destination in the U.K for an additional £20 quid, comes with a soft fender gigbag, probably not original. Collection from Birmingham would be better though.

sshorepunk Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Nice colour, similar to my CS, looks good with either tort' or white PG Tony

risingson Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Really am considering another trip down to Birmingham, Mark! If this bass is still around in a week or so I'll PM you.
tom1946 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 When you say the neck is 'fairly good', what stops it being excellent? thanks.
karlfer Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 This one's just gone for £720 on the bay making yours a serious bargain. May be worth a punt on t'bay. Good luck, Karl.

risingson Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Someone buy this bass. It's a complete steal and Mark is a total gent, bought a P-Bass off of him last year and he was kind enough to let me try out his brilliant bass collection... very easy to deal with, very easy to buy from and at this price you cannot go wrong. In short if you've got the cash you would be mental not to!!!
4 candles Posted March 22, 2011 Author Posted March 22, 2011 Now on hold, many thanks for the interest
