Jonesy64 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Pretty much as new. Bought new for £239 from Express Music in Coventry as a back up to my gigging Jazz. Without looking at the receipt I am guessing it was around 12 weeks ago. It gets packed into a gig bag and stays there until I get back home and unpack until the next one. That's as much as it gets used....well, it doesn't get used at all, it sits on a guitar stand or in a bag. It weighs just 7.5 lbs which is one reason I thought it would be great for carrying round as a back up. Also, the stock pups to my ears have a better punch and are bassier than the stock pups in my Fender Jazz. Only thing I have done to it is replace the stock control knobs with ones that match those on my Fender. I still have the originals of course. Can't supply a gig bag I'm afraid as the one I have is a double bag and I will still need that. Price = £170.00 Would much prefer collection (Nuneaton) but I could arrange to get it couriered at cost (20 quid ish??, I'll need to check)...or could meet halfway or something within reason. Thanks for looking. Edited April 23, 2014 by Jonesy64
jassbass Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Nice I used to have an old one of these.didnt know they did the maple neck lke this and looks a better finish.wonder do they do a 5string in this finish?
rainbowreality Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 What weight is this? I'm looking for something lighter as my poor old shoulder could do with something that won't punish it too much.
jassbass Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Do they do a 5 string version the same finish as this?love the fretboard
Jonesy64 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Posted April 21, 2014 Rainbowreality...weight is 7.5 lbs Jassbass...no idea, check the Fender website
rainbowreality Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Durr, just noticed you'd already stated the weight in your original post! I'm actually up in the midlands this week and I'm just seeing if I can get the necessary money together to buy this from you. What are the pickups like? Any buzz from them?
Jonesy64 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Posted April 21, 2014 I added the weight to the original post after your question, you didn't miss it :-) No buzz, I think they are great, completely different and I think better than the stock pups in my Fender Jazz (it convinced me to upgrade them!) You are more than welcome to try it out. I am in Nuneaton not far off the A5 so very easy to get to.
