Pestie Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) This is an excellent unmarked American Special Jazz Bass in a lovely 3 tone sunburst. It is a 2011 model but looks and feels like new, I can't find a mark on it anywhere. It has a lovely low action with no fret buzz, rattles, flat spots, the neck is really, really nice and it sounds and plays as good as it looks. I am only selling because I want to have a go at a 5 string and something has to go so that I can buy one, I have my eye on one now so this has to go. I have replaced the original white scratch plate with a nice Tortie one, the holes are the same so no additional holes in the body. It looks so much better like this! It has an as new Thoman hard case and the original white scratch plate so you can choose the look you want! I live near Chipping Norton and you are more than welcome to come and try it and have a cuppa and a chat. Thanks for looking Mike (Pestie) [b]I'M NOT LOOKING FOR ANY TRADES THANKS.[/b] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/FenderSpecialJazz001_zpsbce5293c.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/FenderSpecialJazz002_zpsd5e47684.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/FenderSpecialJazz003_zps3218b3c6.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/FenderSpecialJazz004_zpscaf06114.jpg.html"][/url] Edited November 28, 2014 by Pestie

osborne900 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Don't suppose a MM Sub 5 in back and some cash would any interest? O9
Pestie Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks 09. I don't want any trades, I have too many and I have my eye on something else. Mike
Pestie Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 Just to say I am willing to consider a trade for a nice light weight 5 string, for example Ibanez Soundgear depending on the model.
Chest Rockwell Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 sounds like this has the same-ish maple/C neck as the Geddy Jazz?
Pestie Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 This has a modern slim C shaped neck. Very comfortable, very fast and smooth. It's lovely
Thunderbird Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 If it is in your way at home I could always look after it for you mate as I am having a jazz bass bout of gas lol seriously some one buy so I can stop looking at it this it is a bloody bargain if I had 600 notes it would be here
Pestie Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks Paul. I think it is a bargain as well, but there hasn't been much interest!!!!!!!!!!! Ah well, bump it to the top and then under the bed

Skinnyman Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 That is a lovely looking bass, especially with the tort guard. The American Specials are incredible value so GLWTS and have a free bump on me
