jamesbass116 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone! I'm putting my 5 string Fender up for sale after a few years. It's never really got much playing time and I think it's time to move it on to someone who could make more use of it! This bass was discontinued by Fender a couple of years ago. So it is now almost impossible to find any of these in music stores. Making it quite unique and collectable. It comes equipped with Hipshot tuners, Seymour Duncan Basslines and a Gotoh bridge as standard. The fact this Fender is equipped with such top tech adds to the overall feel and sound and it truly is a remarkable piece of kit. Due to the unique nature of this bass and the fact it has rarely been used, I'm asking for around [u][b]£400[/b][/u], however I may be able to waver a bit on the price! Also accepting trades if It's a good offer! I've included some pictures below to give you an idea of how beautiful the bass is. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

[/quote] From what I remember when I bought it... It's Original price was around between £1000 and £1200. Obviously the price was cut when Fender stopped making it, but these basses are really hard to come by now because no one seems to be willing to sell these great sounding pieces of wood... and this is virtually untouched compared to my main bass (Fender MIM Jazz).

jamesbass116 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) After taking some advice from far more experienced members I've dropped the price significantly to a slightly more sensible price of £400. I shouldn't have trusted my heart when I valued it!! Edited February 20, 2012 by jamesbass116 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are worth something approaching your original price especially if mint, however after a haggle I actually paid £400 on the nose for mine. I would be prepared to trade to a greater value rather than £400.......if you are interested, I'll pm you either way buddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalalf Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I'm seriously tempted by the bass as I've been looking for a nice 5 string jazzer. I'm a bit concerned about the space between the pickup and neck being smaller than my regular jazz due to the 24 fret neck and how that would affect my technique. Could you tell me what the measurement is between the two? I've also read the body is slightly smaller than a usual jazz body? It might also be because of the neck and no pickguard but is the spacing between the two pickups wider than normal? I really wish I lived closer so I could come look and play.

[/quote] The spacing between the end of the neck and the neck pickup on the 24 is smaller by around an inch compared to my 4 string jazz I would say. The body is also around the same size. The actual spacing between the two pickups is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hi there, Unfortunately, because I was foolish and put my bass up on eBay I can't commit to any sales on here for now. But the listing ends in around 5 hours I believe so if it doesn't sell on there then I am open to offers on here! Thanks for the interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
