For sale Farida FJB - 20 in sunburst, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=84395&hl=farida"]this one[/url]

£170 for quick sale, collection only. Cheshire, CW6

To quote the seller then

"I am selling my recently purchased Farida FJB-20 in sunburst! This is an absolutely cracking piece of kit, when I tried it out I played alongside a US Jazz Bass (which it was the most comparable to) and some of the Mexican and Japanese reissue and deluxe series and it just ran rings around them, really crisp, clear and punchy but can get deep down and dirty with a bit of roll off on the tone, seemingly has an infinite sustain and it really does sound like a good Jazz Bass should. It's a good weight as it is a solid Ash body (will give exact weight upon request.) The neck is perfectly straight, feels very slim at 35.5mm at the nut and quick to manoeuvre around has those big black blocks on it which just makes it stand out a mile and looks very cool in my opinion and the action is absolutely superb. Nice, low, instantly playable and feels just like silk!"

Still in great condition except a little ding on the top of the headstock (pictured)

Weighs 12lbs.

Complete with padded gig bag.

Would consider trade/swap for a Peavey Grind 5 string (or similar) or an Ashbory bass

Are you sure you won't post?

[JonnyB]

It's not feasible at the moment - but I am going to Birmingham and Ripon in the next few days so can possibly meet up en route from Cheshire with anyone interested in buying it.

i also played one of these next to an american fender and the Farida sounded better.. much punchier with more presence

[RareDevil]

Maaan, I would like this very much! But I guess you wont ship it to Budapest Hungary. :-( Very good looking! I like the collor, the neck and the slightly different shape.
