Boring back story: - Possible job loss looming so need to rationalise the gear.

It's a superb Jazz Bass. Unbelievable bang for your buck on all Farida's in my opinion.
if you don't know much about Farida then have a look around on here and online, they are very highly regarded and rightly so.


In superb condition, barely a mark or blemish to be found on it.

Modifications are:
A EMG BTC Control preamp, more details on link below:

BB404 locking high-mass bridge, more detail on link below:

Closed pickup covers. The pickups themselves are the original Farida Pups.

Control layout also changed to add a 3-way pickup selector switch along with the knobs of Master Volume, Stacked bass/treble cut&boost.


[b]Selling for sold[/b]cash preferred due to current circumstances.
I'm in Chorley, Lancs - any inspection more than welcome.

That action is crazily low. It's gotta have some incredibly high build quality to be able to get away with that! Great great value.

Tom1946 - the bridge was already on when I got the bass. I'm not sure if it replaced a 5 hole or 4 hole bridge. I can say that it is very sturdy and a tidy job.

sprocketflup - yes willing to post and PM'ed.

I have one of these basses and it's a cracker, incredible quality, sound and feel for the price.
I sold a Mex Fender and a Squier CV after getting mine.
This review from our own Allthumbs says it all:

Just realised - this is the same bass isn't it?
Did you buy it from Scott?

Back from holiday reply - wasn't being rude :) Possibly a little bit heavy for me. Thanks for that, anyway.
