4 candles Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) [b][color=#333333]Howdy Peoples![/color][/b] [b][color=#333333]Regrettably I’m putting up some of my collection for sale in order to raise funds to finance the purchase of a new car as mine has gone caput!!! [/color][/b] [b][color=#333333]First up, my 2009 Roadworn Jazz bass in Fiesta red nitrocellulose finish. Absolutely superb instruments, my favourite of the CBS Fenders. They just have that feel of a pre CBS jazz and the tone is quite sublime. Very lightweight and extremely comfy to play. These are currently retailing at around the £1000 mark I believe so a good 25% discount is on offer here. I currently own 2 of these basses..thats how good they are!!![/color][/b] [b][color=#333333]This one has an additional strap button fitted to the rear of the headstock by a previous owner replicating the 62 vibe[/color][/b] [b][color=#333333][u]Roadworn 60s Jazz Bass [/u][/color][/b] [color=#333333]A veritable racecar of a bass, the Jazz Bass was born in 1960s and became the favorite of players who put as many miles on the instrument as they did on their tour buses. The more it was used (and abused), the more it growled back and became even more comfortable. Fender's new Road Worn '60s Jazz Bass guitar delivers that aged look and feel-designed with 1960s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and built to look, sound and feel like it's got more than just a few miles on it. Please note that each guitars 'Road Wear' varies slightly, the wear on the guitar you get may differ to the picture below.

Marc S Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Hi there 4 candles I agree completely that these are superb basses I honestly can't underline enough how great these look, sound & feel They are just spot on, in every respect I've played (+ owned quite a few) basses in my time Some much more expensive basses at that! But nothing comes close to my RW Jazz I've got the more usual sunburst colour, But Fiesta Red has become my favourite colour for a bass lately... That looks very nice - if i were you, I'd be tempted to keep it, as I don't think there are so many in this colour Have a free bump, for an absolutely fantastic instrument Another BC'er wibbler 41asked me to keep an eye out for one of these, so I've let him know yours is for sale GLWTS - but keep it If I had some spare cash (and the space) I'd have this one off you in a flash Cheers Marc Edited February 20, 2015 by Marc S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
