elcastillian Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Hi fellow bass men, I have an interesting and quite rare Fender PJ for sale. I believe this model is related to the the Hot rodded bass that fender made for a short time only. This one was built with a preamp, it doesn't change the sound a great deal but it does make each pickup sound really hot, but still preserving the essential Precision and throaty bridge pickup Jazz sound. It's a Precision neck but the slightly slimmer version. It's a lovely bass and plays very well, I've had many memorable gigs with it. I would like £750, you are welcome to try it out. Comes with a quality Fender case. SOLD Edited July 17, 2011 by elcastillian
franzbassist Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 That is my perfect P bass right there! Is the active circuit a retro-fit, as I'm sure the Hot Rods were passive only? Cheers Gareth

Cheers Gareth[/quote] I believe you are right, the Hot Rods were passive only, but this is dated 1999 the first year the Hot Rods were made and the active circuit looks to be original, inserted in manufacture. It appears that Fender made some active basses at the same time. Everything else about the bass looks like the passive models. Perhaps you can find some more info', look forward to hearing from anyone who has knowledge of these basses. Inspection welcome.
