Shell Pink Fender USA '62 reissue Jazz - SOLD!!

[kevin_lindsay]

Well, I guess some of you may have seen the thread I posted regarding the Shell Pink refinish? It's literally like a thin skin Fender factory finish, and the bass sounds more "open and woody" than it did with the original thick nitro Fender finish on there.

Here's a link to the thread detailing the refin:

So, why am I selling the bass? The reason is quite simple, I've bought another brand new USA '62 stack knob reissue, and I'm going to refinish this one is Surf Green!

I'm looking for £900 delivered in the UK.

Here's some pics of the bass, I live it, but I have to let if go unfortunately!!

Would the bass mind a Swedish home?

[kevin_lindsay]

I'm sure that could be arranged! I'll check how much delivery to Sweden would be when I get home and will drop you a PM with the details mate

Just drove to Edinburgh and the Shell Pink Jazz Bass has a new home! The bass was bought by John and he seems really pleased with it.

John, it was really nice meeting you, and I hope you have loads of fun with the bass (hope your wife likes it also!)

[haimesy]

Thanks Kevin..I think she might give this one a name , god forbid ! ...Love it...John

[kevin_lindsay]

Great! Incidentally, if you do decide to change the pickguard, you'll need a '62 reissue one - NOT the '75 reissue I mentioned!!

The outer edge screwholes are in different places on the '62 and '75 versions you see.
