simon1964 Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) I recently took this as part of an exchange deal. It's a really nice bass, but I cannot justify keeping it. It's a 2000 Jazz, in good condition. There are a few minor marks, as you would expect from a 13 year old bass, but nothing major. The colour looks like Fiesta Red to me, although I'm not 100% sure on that. It has Wizard 64 pickups fitted, along with concentric volume and tone pots for each pickup. The tone and volume for each pickup adds some real versatility compared to v/v/t - I'm not sure why Fender ever changed that! The original pickups and control plate/electrics are included, so it would be easy to switch back to stock (and I dare say you could sell on the Wizards and the concentric plate for £100 or so). The bass is currently fitted with the original white/mint guard, but a perfectly fitting black one is included in the sale (I've added a pic with the black guard sitting on the bass). i don't have a Fender hardcase, but will included a good quality padded gigbag. I'm looking for £625 plus shipping. I'm not really looking for trades on this one.

[/quote] I'm looking for a combo for rehearsals / small gigs, preferrably valve, and something nice and simple (I can't get on with those fancy Line 6 modelling thingies!). Otherwise, I'm pretty open minded... Edited September 1, 2013 by simon1964
AndyTravis Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Stupid nugget of knowledge - think this was called 'Hot Rod Red'. Cool bass.

I'll need to sell this first though, unless you're interested in a part exchange?

PM me with if you get anyway with this and I'm sure that we can sort something out!
