Hutton Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I am selling this gorgeous USA Fender Jazz for my son who is currently in Australia and needs the funds. The bass has an ash body and is finished in sunset orange transparent. The bass began life as a fretted bass with a maple fingerboard. However, the fingerboard was then planed off the original neck and replaced with an ebony lined fretless fingerboard. This work was done by legendary Scottish luthier Jimmy Moon. You can see his logo at the 12th fret. Jimmy also fitted a black pickguard as it was a better complement to the ebony board than the original white pickguard. There is also an S-1 switch which was a standard fitment. This bass has never been gigged and has been played very little. It is in superb condition. The bass comes complete with its original hard shell Fender case. The photos below were taken today (Feb15th). Price: £750 collected. £780 by courier. Edited March 3, 2013 by Hutton
Hutton Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 I should perhaps have said that the bass is not in Australia but with me in the good ol' UK. I know I'm far away in north east Scotland but anyone who wishes to have a noodle on the bass will be made very welcome. There are also another couple of older pics of the bass in the 'Gear Porn' forum under the thread 'Jazz'.

Hutton Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks for the kind comments. Nice to hear from you Andy, you're also one of the good guys!
Rhythmmethod Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Hi, is 12th fret the only fret marker? and how does it sound?
Hutton Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 The dots are still there on the side of the neck from when the bass was fretted. I'm not a Jazz player but to me it sounds glorious and just as a good fretless Jazz should sound.
Hutton Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 The bass is now sold. Thanks to all those who showed interest.
