Pestie Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Here is my lovely 2009 Fender Road Worn Jazz in Fiesta Red. It looks, sounds and plays really lovely. I recently bought it off the site but Jazz basses and me don't really get on. I keep trying them but at heart I love my Precisions and one day I will learn. Anyway, it is roadworn with all the knocks and bangs that they have. It looks, feels and plays like an old bass but with the added advantage of modern technology. It has a little ding on the neck that you can't feel and I don't know if that is "Roadworn" or a ding, either way it doesn't affect anything. The bass comes in a Hiscox Lite Flite hard case. I live near Chipping Norton and you are more than welcome to come and collect it and try it out. Alternatively, I am happy to ship at the buyers expense. No trades thank you. Thanks for looking Mike (Pestie) [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/Road%20Worn%20Jazz%20001_zpsbcge9tvc.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/Road%20Worn%20Jazz%20002_zpsukurcnji.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/Road%20Worn%20Jazz%20003_zps8tgdyfat.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/Road%20Worn%20Jazz%20004_zpswfth0ndj.jpg.html"][/url] Edited December 18, 2015 by Pestie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Really sorry this didn't work out for you Mike. My old bass and gutted I don't have the readies to buy it back. BUT, as Fagin might say "I am reviewing the situation" A slightly reluctant good luck regardless. Edited October 7, 2015 by MB1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Mexican Road Worn 60's Series Jazz, sell new for around £1150 now. Highly sought after by some. This is my old bass and IMO superb This is one of the first run, it's a cracker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonks Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) thanks....interesting.......looks good...thought it was Japanese. Noticeably missing country of origin I suppose it's on the back of the headstock Edited September 28, 2015 by Shonks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 [quote name='Shonks' timestamp='1443469904' post='2875069'] hi, what is this exactly? usa? jap? reissue? have i missed something? [/quote] As others have said, these are indeed built in Mexico But they are made on a separate line to the usual Mex built Fenders The parts used are better quality, and they are then shipped back to the US for finishing, so I am led to believe I've played a few Mex built Fenders, and they range from pretty good, to excellent These Roadworn series are something else though! I have the more commonly seen Sunburst RW Fender Jazz and I must say, it's the best bass guitar I've ever played They look, sound and feel every inch like the real deal - I kid you not I don't know how they've managed it, but the neck feels so comfortable and well-played like it really has been used for years & years If I didn't already have my sunburst one - I'd have this in a shot In fact, I'm tempted anyway! Lol I know some people scorn "pre reliced" guitars and basses but IMHO, there's nothing better to gig with, than something which doesn't matter if it picks up another ding It's so liberating to gig one of these, rather than your mint condition, shiny new guitar Bump for a fabulous bass - sorry to almost hijack your thread but to anyone considering this bass - just buy it now! I can't eulogise about these basses enough ..... and you'll stop me thinking about getting another bass I really don't need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I took the Shuker (battered) Precision type as part ex on my Rick El Dorado. If the Rick had actually sold I would have been looking very strongly at buying this back. Whilst these things are always opinion, this particular bass is one of the best jazzes I've owned. There has been a few Very surprised the two that are up are still here, but, sometimes timing is everything. This bass will sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Wish I could justify having another Fender RW Jazz This and my own in sunburst would look lovely together But I really can't own 2 basses which are essentially the same, apart from their colour lol C'mon BC'ers. These Fender RW Jazzes are the works! I've owned 2 USA Jazzes, and played a couple of Mex ones too, and my RW knocks spots off them all. Have a free bump, cos it's a superb bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
