mikegatward Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) I'm selling my 1996/97 MIM Jazz. It's black bodied, rosewood neck, b/w/b scatchplate and has been upgraded with Wizard Eighty-Fours. There's also a DiMarzio clickstrap fitted which I'm happy to leave on. The body has some scratches and scuffs on the bottom under the control plate and on the upper edge. Also the neck has some dings and nicks in it.I've done my best to photo the affected areas Am asking[s] £240 [/s]£220 ono for this Jazz which has served me well. I'm out of spare cases and gigbags so would prefer local collection. Alternatively, I travel over to Manchester regularly so can meet up over there. Can now offer postage at buyers expense as I've obtained a couple of boxes recently Would consider trade plus cash your way for a MIJ Jazz or Precision if maple necked or an old Tokai Heres the piccie link - [url="http://s1126.photobucket.com/albums/l614/mikegatward/MIM%20Jazz/"]http://s1126.photobu...ard/MIM%20Jazz/[/url] Edited April 1, 2012 by mikegatward
cm261 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Pretty scuffed, but that's a very good price, no? Free bump
mikegatward Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 [i]Friday bump - am open to trade offers and will add cash for a nice trade up[/i]
geoff90guitar Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Hi, I havent seen an MIM bass with the word Fender in black, normally gold ..is this unusual Mike or guys?
mikegatward Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 Still available Done some homework on Fender forums re. the black label question. [size=4][i]The black label was used by Fender Mexico for a limited time only between 1993 and 1998. It can be found exclusively on the rather short lived mexican “Traditional” series for the Precision Bass. The guitars with the black label consisted mostly of overstock american made Fender necks and bodies. The parts were shipped to Mexico for assembly with mexican made pickups and far eastern hardware and electronics. [/i][/size]

mikegatward Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 I can't verify the claim, only repeating what someone said on a forum. Plays nice though.
TPJ Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 What's the width at the nut on this and what does the bass weigh?
mikegatward Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 I'll check tonight on the nut width. Not sure I have accurate scales but will have a try. I'm also in Wakefield if you want to try it out :-)

mikegatward Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 Neck width at nut is 1.5" My scales aren't accurate enough to weigh it accurately but it feels lighter than my 2005 USA precision
Mzungu71 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Ooh, that is quite nice and I am on the lookout for a decent back up. I am oop north Easter saturday to watch the mighty Huddersfield Town put Sheff Wed to the sword so if it's not been snapped up I may well come have a play. My folks live in Horbury, which bit o' wakey are you in?
