Grangur Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Hi there, You're looking at my black Fender Jazz Deluxe MIM. It's in great condition, with one small ding near the jack socket - see pics. The controls are Vol, Blend, Bass/Treble, Mids. It's got a new battery and good strings. The tone is deep and meaningful and it's comfortable to play. The weight is 4.3Kg, or 9.5lb I'm in East Herts, but I can send by courier for the cost of shipping. [b]Now I've added a Hard case too... not great, but it's robust with metal corners.[/b] For more pics: [url="http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/Grangur/slideshow/BC-pics/Basses%20for%20sale/FJD-black?sort=3"]http://s1175.photobu...JD-black?sort=3[/url] The ding in the bottom left corner looks a lot worse in the pic than real life. Thanks for looking Edited July 13, 2015 by Grangur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the year and today is the first day of my 2 weeks holiday. I'll have to post that when I get home. Something like 2005 seems to ring a bell, but I'm not at all sure. I do know the last owner bought it and never touched it for years. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basstradamus Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Thank you. Just a couple more things: What's the tone like, more specifically? How does it handle the mids and highs? Is the neck finished well/is it as narrow as most other J-basses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] WRT tone, in my opinion the tones are good in the mid and high end. It doesn't have a clank like a MM. I might ask Shonks to answer this as he's more experienced and he's played it. The neck is a true jazz. It's narrower than that on my P and those on my Warwick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basstradamus Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I see. It's very, very tempting. Just trying to decide whether to take the step into Active territory. Worried that it might prove a hindrance once I've got over the initial excitement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 The advantage of "Active territory" on this type of bass is you get away from the dual volume control and have a blend pot that actually works. But then each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I`ve had the US Version before and it was easily the most versatile bass I`ve ever had. Too much temptation here Rich, sell it quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
