kedo Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) This bass is in mint condition and a really beautiful instrument as you can see from the photographs. It looks stunning hanging on my wall, but I would prefer someone to have it who would really use and enjoy it. There were only 30 made (see 2009 retired models, on this Fender link) and I would be prepared to sell it at £1,300 including tansport and insurance which would be a real bargain for anyone looking for a spectacular and unusual instrument which can only increase in value.

Hutton Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 If your Jazz is definitely for sale then I'm afraid the forum rules state that you have to post a price. If however you are only looking for a trade then a price is not required.
paulmcnamara Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Hi Kedo, Following your link, I was reading that the models were reliced to look as if they were made in 1964, and yet in your photos the bass looks mint? Have I misunderstood somewhere. Good wishes, Paul.
kedo Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Hi Paul. If you look at the link, right at the bottom of the list of 'retired' guitars there are two Jazz basses. The first one is the '64 Sunburst 'Time Machine' Jazz. It is reliced and was not a limited edition. The next Jazz bass is black and white. There were 30 of these made NOS (New Old Stock) and 30 reliced. Mine is NOS and mint as you described it. Hope this helps. Jack
LukeFRC Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 random question.... what is the precision of your dreams?
kedo Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Fender Precision. Sunburst, tort and rosewood from the sixties. Possibly a reissue. Jack
Cairobill Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Any Interest in trading for a good condition fretless seventies precision (maple board)?
kedo Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 Thanks Cairobill. Sorry but I already fave a fretless. Jack
kedo Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 Sorry I meant to add that I don't really need anything, so I'm not keen on a swap unless someone comes up with something spectacular. Kedo
Clarky72 Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Sorry, I know you have said no trades, but your jazz is gorgeous and I'd love it. Can I wet your pallette with this beauty?

kedo Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Hi Steve. Looks great. I'm selling the bass as I have bought a '62 American Vintage Precision, but I'm sure I would enjoy the Stingray more than the Jazz Jack
Bartok Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Wow!! It's very beautiful!! Edited November 4, 2011 by Bartok
kedo Posted November 22, 2011 Author Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks Bartoc. Still haven't sold it though! Kedo
kedo Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 It's still hanging on my wall. I have lowered the asking price in case someone would like a great Christmas present. KEDO
auvergne81 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 damnit, i love your bass, and the bass is very interesting, you send out of UK ?
kedo Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Hi tredders If you are interested in my bass let me know. It's a great instrument. Jack
mr zed Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 This is a stunning looking bass - the dreaded GAS has struck once again. Lack of funds at the moment mean that this is out of reach to me though. Someone will get a bargain. Have a bump.
paulie Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Hi I just have a few questions on your bass : 1. What is the weight? 2. Do you have the original Tolex Case? 3. Is the neck nice and straight, is there lots of tension still available from the truss rod if required? Thanks Paul
kedo Posted December 31, 2011 Author Posted December 31, 2011 Hi Paul. Thanks for your posting. As it is a faithful reproduction of the 64 Jazz using original materials and fittings, the bass is heavy at nearly 4.4kg, but it's beautifully balanced. It was manufactured in 2008 and bought new in 2009. I have the Tolex case (which you will see from the photo in my posting). I have checked the neck in response to your enquiry, and it has more or less the correct relief for a 7.25" radius fingerboard (measured on the E string at the 8th fret with a capo on 1 and the last fret depressed). The truss rod is difficult to access on the vintage instruments and has never been touched. Also the action is more or less as specified on the Fender Setup Guide: 2.8mm on the E to 2.4mm on the G at the 17th fret. The bass plays very well although I have only gigged it a few times since I bought my new Fender AV 62 Precision which suits me better. This Custom Shop instrument which cost well over £2,000, is one of a limited edition (30 made worldwide) and is in new condition. Thanks, Jack
paulie Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks for your response I have a back issue so Im going to hold out for something a little more towards the 8.5lb mark (hard to get i know) Your price is very low for a Custom shop in such condition so I wont imagine you will have to wait too long to sell it. All the best Paul
kedo Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 Thanks for letting me know Paul. It is a bit heavy if you have a bad back. Your right, I am selling it too cheaply but there are few players out there with that kind of cash. Plenty of offers for exchanges though. Cheers, Jack
