**SOLD** 1983 USA Fender Jazz Bass **FINAL PRICE DROP TO £1,000** £1200

[petergales]

For sale is my USA 1983 Fender Standard Jazz in excellent overall condition, including its original hard shell case.

[b]PRICE DROP TO [s]£1100[/s] Now £1,000 (final offer)[/b]

The full specification - direct from Fender - is detailed below. The only difference is that the one-piece pickguard/control plate has been replaced by separate pickguard and chrome control plate, although the original one-piece is included in the sale.

The colour is ivory and the fingerboard is maple. This was the new series of jazz basses that came out in 1983 and featured a one-piece pickguard, more substantial bridge, biflex truss rod, strap locks, new style tuners and neck tilt adjustment. The case is in excellent condition with all latches working correctly.

For sale only. Willing to courier at buyer's expense.

I have played this bass and it is a nice example of a US Fender from that period and plays really well.

Peter is a great guy to deal with as well…

[petergales]

Thanks, Pete. Hope you and the missus are both keeping well.

All the best

Pete

Bump for a great bass

Bumping because Peter is a top bloke and he only has top quality gear.

Thanks Phil. She's a cracking bass as well as an investment. Just need to satisfy this GAS I'm suffering from.

I always think these white pup cover basses look so cool

[petergales]

Thanks, yes they certainly do! Very under-rated basses, these.
