Withdrawn. Fender Select Active Jazz 2013 - Immaculate. Price drop £1500

[Skinnyman]

No love for the Fender so now back on the wall.....

Price now reduced to £1400. I'm not prepared to go below this so if there's no interest this week I'll put it back on the wall and just look at it....

This is hard, soooo hard....

....but two new basses have moved in so two must go out and the first out is my absolutely beautiful Fender Select Active Jazz. It's the 2013 model and I've copied the technical specs below.

I bought the bass brand new last year and have gigged it just once. It's in immaculate condition - I cannot see a mark on it anywhere. It comes with a Fender Select logo'd G&G vintage tweed case which is in equally good condition - the bass lives in a cheapo Kinsman case and the G&G case lives in its dust cover up in the spare room. Yes, I know. I am that sad.....

It's a beatiful thing to play and I love the flexibility of the active/passive electrics and in an ideal world I'd keep it just for the looks. But I don't use it anywhere near as much as a bass this beautiful deserves, so it has to go.

I'm not keen on posting this so I'd prefer collection or - provided you're not In Lands End or John O'Groats - delivery for a small charge to cover petrol. I'm in South Lincs but travel to London daily so I'm sure it'll be possible to work something out....

Some pics - note: Kitten not included....

And the description....

The highly acclaimed Fender Select series introduces an all-new lineup for 2013. These finely crafted guitars and basses put decades of Fender expertise on display, with elegant features and design options for discerning musicians everywhere.

Like its passive-electronics 2012 predecessor, the Fender Select Active Jazz Bass® takes our most versatile bass to new heights of elegance and power.
