Sibob Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hi guys, Here is my 2003 Fender USA Jazz bass, the first Fender I owned. It's been through a lot, is heavily gigged, and is the bass I took with me to Wooten Woods earlier this year. Yes it's been played in front of Victor Wooten, Steve Bailey, Felix Pastorius, Anthony Wellington etc Anyway, its a brilliant bass, however it does have plenty of wear, dings and chips etc. Obviously full pictures asap, but all the wear is honest play wear from a LOT of gigs and I believe the price is reflective of this. That said, it plays and sounds great. The biggest patch of wear is the lower bout on the rear. This is down to the wood and exposing the black paint that Fender paint around the edges of their basses to make the blacks.....well....blacker I guess. Hopefully the photo shoes this. This model has the graphite reinforcement rods in the neck, the S1 switch (actually useful on the Jazzes, not so much the Precisions). 60's spaced pickups. Fairly light (weight pending). The tort plate is a replacement official Fender, as the original was white and horrible, as such there is a couple of screw holes that don't have corresponding holes in the body. There is one screw missing from the scratch plate unfortunately, and a couple could do with replacing as looking a bit rusty/discoloured. It can be supplied with a basic gig-bag or a padded Ritter bag for an extra £10. As such, collection or meet up only on this in/near High Wycombe / Welwyn Garden City / London. No trades (Sorry about some of the orientations, TinyPic is working its wonders) Thanks Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutSpoon Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Is this string-thru body - looks like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 You can string it through body or standard through bridge. Lots of interest so far.....which is great.....but feel free to spread it over the other basses I'm selling too Cheers Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteb Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Did you manage to get a weight for this bass?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 I haven't weighed it yet, I'm taking an educated guess in the early 9lbs range That said, the bass is currently sold pending payment. Cheers Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
