Bass weighs 9 pounds, I have just changed the fender strings for a set of Elixer nanoweb 45-105 they sound fantastic great tone with just the right amount of brightness !!!. £40 a pack !!! my feedack [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/164771-geofio-feedback/page__st__30__p__2803757__hl__geofio__fromsearch__1#entry2803757"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2803757[/url] These Basses are £1669 in the shops. The bass was purchased brand new from a dealer as part of an exchange for other musical equipment.

These have a wonderful rich tone. the neck feels fantastic, very skinny!! and nice rounded edges, solid Jazz through and through. i still have the shipping box. I would trade for nice P bass, let me know what you have. cheers What Fender say : [color=#333333]A modern reproduction of a bass that helped define modern music. Fender based the American Vintage Series on actual vintage instruments from their past, to bring you a period-correct '64 J Bass that plays like a modern classic. From the classic body shape and tone woods to the "ash tray" cover, this bass screams vintage. The slimmer C-shaped neck and laminated-rosewood fretboard ensure authentic feel and vibe. Newly designed American Vintage pickups give you the bold, and sought-after, tone of the original. For pure, unadulterated '60s J bass vibe, pick up Fender's American Vintage '64 Jazz Bass. [/color] [color=#333333]With today's American Vintage basses, Fender has gone back to the drawing board with new features, new specs and the most fanatical level of vintage accuracy yet. They've restored original tooling dies, voiced new pickups, reformulated vintage colors, and more - based on actual vintage instruments. [/color] [color=#333333]The Fender American Vintage '64 Jazz Bass sports a slimmer C-shaped maple neck and a rounded-rosewood laminate fretboard. Fender moved away from the "slab" style of fingerboards in 1962. [/color] £950 cash price, trades wise looking for a a nice Precision Bass or similar . These Basses are in shops in the uk for £1669, thank you any questions 07707351915 Edited November 8, 2015 by geofio

spongebob Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Great bass at a super price from a trusted seller! This is a bargain - I've got the AVRI '74, and these basses are a step above the American Standards for sure. Good luck with sale, George - have a bump on me!
geofio Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Would trade for a nice P bass, let me know what you have, this is 100% brand new all i have done is set it up, it is back in it's case. ready to ship !!!!
Turnaround Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Very nice example and very tempted to offer my 62 USA vintage reissue Precision but I already have a great JV Jazz in black. Someone's going to get a great deal on this.
afterimage Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Indeed I have the 74 reissue in black also. Good luck
adamlunt Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Maaaaan that's tasty, and what a price! Hope you get a good P.
adamlunt Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 By the way… What kind of P would you be interested in?
geofio Posted October 31, 2015 Author Posted October 31, 2015 Hi Adam, just looking for a nice quality model , i already have the geddy lee usa jazz so no point me having 2 jazzes. you got something??
adamlunt Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) Just asking out of curiosity really. I've got a [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/253892-fsft-fender-usa-precision-bass-l700/page__p__2665255#entry2665255"]US Standard P[/url] and a mid-80s Japanese Jazz. So I guess another Jazz wouldn't make much sense. I think the American Standard P basses are great, and I guess they've only gotten better since I got mine. Edited November 1, 2015 by adamlunt
geofio Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 I have restrung the bass with a new set of Elixer nanoweb 45-105 strings and it sounds fantastic, that is £40 of strings added to the value of the bass !!!!
geofio Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 Decided to keep this, it is an excellent bass, sounds awesome and a fantastic build, for once i am going to benefit from a purchase. i am going to customize it to my taste . cheers
