cayston Posted September 23, 2011 Author Posted September 23, 2011 [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1316788391' post='1382954'] Mate, let's not derail the guy's sale. But just to say, you are not the intended market, it was never meant to leave Japan. Who cares about period correct? The looks of a BadAss are subjective. FJ issues many other basses which are 'period correct', this is a limited run, a special. FJ actually have the most interesting instruments of any of the Fender companies IMO, and I think the new Fender Pawnshop and BlackFace or whatever they're called is a realisation that not all Fenders need to follow established patterns for the dull and boring westerners who like their Fenders to look the same as 60 years ago. Anyway, let's start a new thread if this is to carry on. Our friend has a cracking Japan Fender Jazz with a matched headstock and a BadAss II. If it's anything like mine was, it will be one of the best playing Jazzes around. Stick a John East J-Retro in and you will be able to kill wild boar with it. Best wishes for the sale, Cayston![/quote] Cheers for the support silddx! Really do appreciate it
Gareth Hughes Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Bump for an undoubtedly great instrument. I have a FJ '75 Re-Issue, non-export, in Olympic White that is to die for - and if I didn't I'd be so all over this............. oh lordy I wish I was a weaker man.

cayston Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 Cheers guys for all your comments!
Onox Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Is the Bass still white? Looks a little bit yellow?

[/quote] It's 'vintage white'. Wondering why I've got GAS for this... 35 years a P-Bass man, now yearning for white J-Basses... what's happening?

[/quote] From the OP : [i]This bass, which I believe is vintage white/yellow colour (looks more like custard yellow) comes with matching headstock, Fender US pickups and Badass II bridge. [/i]

tom1946 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Oh boy, my favourite colour and model. (Note to self: you got arthritis remember??) bollox.
cayston Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 Creamy white is probably the best description! The bass is on hold guys. Thanks for looking and comments!
