Hello!
I’m selling my 2006 Fender USA Deluxe Active Jazz Bass which is 3-tone sunburst with a rosewood fingerboard.

The bass is in excellent condition with only slight ‘play wear’ to the body (a few light marks on front and rear with a small knock on the edge of the headstock and a few marks on the tuners where the chrome has ‘pitted’ slightly), as you would expect. I have recently bought a Fender tortoise shell pick-guard from the states (it still has the plastic film on it!), but will supply the original mint green/aged white one that came with the bass.

It’s light! Weighing around 8.4 lbs, a joy on long sessions, and this is helped by great balance and Hipshot Ultralight tuners assure no neck dive. It also has a soft-heel (5-bolt) neck joint which is great for access to the top frets.

The 22 fret rosewood neck is in excellent condition and I have very recently had the frets and nut dressed professionally. This is a classic jazz neck with a fairly flat profile (approx’ 10 inch radius) and has a really comfortable modern ‘C’ shape, which makes it great to play even with small hands like mine!

The bass has also had a very recent pro set up with a really low action and it plays like butter, with no dead spots and great sustain. It also features a Posi-flex graphite-reinforced truss rod, which will be useful if you use super-heavy gauge strings.

The bass comes with the original Fender molded case (in good condition), long ‘T-bar’ Allen key, other Allen keys and drop tags.

I only bought it back in December but I have two Jazz basses already and I need a passive P-bass for the band I've just joined, so with regret, something has to go...

This is a superb bass that sounds and plays like a dream. I’m asking £750 (ono) and just trying to get back what I've spent (Or) I would be very interested in a swap/trade for a light-weight precision bass (Fender US, sort of thing...).

Thanks for looking.

Brilliant basses these. I have one in the same colour configuration. Nice and light for long gigs (or those with back issues)and the bass is really comfortable. £750 is a good price. Best of luck with the sale.

Hi Folks,

Anybody out there fancy trading/swapping a Precision for this wicked active US Deluxe Jazz? Ideally, I'm thinking US Fender, rosewood fingerboard preferred but open to suggestions/offers.

Cheers for looking.
