JP Soundsystem Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Hi there For sale here is a Fender Japan Jazz Bass. I think it's a 96 because it's got a '50th Anniversary' sticker on the back of the headstock. I'd love to say this is in superb condition, but it just isn't. Electrically, it's fine, and playability is fine. But the body has A LOT of dings/chips. I have tried my best to show these in the pics, but in any event, this is offered as collection only, as I want any potential buyer to fully inspect the bass and be happy with what they are getting. If you insist on delivery, a courier can be arranged at your expense. The bass is located in Barnsley. The bass comes with a hard case made by '5 star cases' which is also tatty. I sell this with a slightly heavy heart, as it was my first bass. But, alas, I just don't use this anymore as I much prefer the sound of Thunderbirds. Any questions/requests for more photos, get in touch!! £350 [b]NOW SOLD[/b] Edited September 20, 2011 by JP Soundsystem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Soundsystem Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Hello! Yes, I have changed the price of this bass after receiving advice stating that my original price was far too low. I don't want to offend anyone, but I don't want to sell myself short either. I hope this is understandable. I hope the price is still competitive.

[/quote] That'll teach me for trying to justify myself while very, very drunk! I was advised that this bass was worth £500, which still makes this bargain-esque I reckon. I really want a new amp, so would consider trades for a Orange Bass Terror, or something valvey (or is that tubey?) and vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 £500 was a fair deal for this, at £350 I`m surprised it`s still available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
