andydye Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) [s]For sale, my recently acquired MIM FSR Std Jazz bass, it's a lot like a standard jazz apart from the finish which is 'Copper Metallic Burst' and basically looks like a subtly sparkly sunburst but that doesn't really do it justice, it's very pretty (in the right way!). Played like a dying dog when I got it, neck relief was hilarious, the intonation virtually a semi-tone out and the strings were deader than a dead thing and wouldn't stay in tune or produce any tone, utterly dead! Consequently I thought it was a potentially 'yet another MIM dog'... New strings, a good clean with lots of guitar polish needed (cloth really needed washing afterwards!), some lemon oil on the thirsty fingerboard, a proper set-up and a new kiogon wiring loom and now everything feels good, really good, sounds good too! There are a few marks on the back of the neck (up the dusty end) which you can feel if you look for them but which haven't distracted me while playing, apart from that it's very clean which is a susprise given how grubby it was! In short, this is a really nice jazz bass (and I usually hate both MIM and J basses!) and I've enjoyed cleaning it up and sorting it out it has unfortunately been totally supplanted by Lozz's p bass which hits all the spots I have and is precisely the look and sound needed for my new originals band! If I needed a jazz this would be it, I just don't at the moment and we need the house space more than I need another bass (sad but true)... Comes with a new fender gigbag, it will be very well bubble wrapped and boxed so am happy to ship within the uk. [b]£350 inc uk shipping[/b].

addam360 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Is the metallic very noticeable? The metal flake is the only thing putting me off here.

addam360 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Ahh that's a bit tempting then. But so is that metallic blue one, oh and this US one http://basschat.co.uk/topic/230017-fs-fender-american-special-jazz-bass-2010-blackmaple/ So many options. I may well be getting back to you though as I'm after a sunburst and this isn't far off.
