Thank you for the offer, but in general Ww's are not my cup of tea and I have trouble to find enough time to become anything more than a joke on a fretless....

[Paulhauser]

There's a bass I'd like to buy so as lon as that's available I have lowered the price to £590

Don't forget: this FGN jazz is mint and shipping is included in the price.

Hi , What's the string spacing at bridge ?

[Paulhauser]

Hi Manu, string spacing at the bridge is 18mm.

Thanks,

Paul

I use my Spector basses for all my live and recording gigs now. I have two FGN Jazz5's in my collection because I wanted the classic alder/rw and the ash/maple combinations.
I feel that a bass needs to be played and one jazz is enough for me. So the new one will go. Simple as that.

[jassbass]

Thanx for the info is there any youtube vids?thanx

[Paulhauser]

I do not have any video recordings with this bass, sorry.

You should mention the very cool circular fretting system.

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Thanks for reminding me.[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The bass features a proprietary Fujigen patented fret system, called cirecular fret system (CFS) It is not different in use than the normal fret system, but according to FGN it provides certain advantages[/font]

Makes total sense for accurate intonation when you think about it (not convinced about the rest though), never seen or heard of such a system before, consider me schooled!

Thanks! I think it is an interesting feature, but after all this is a high quality classic jazz bass with 5 strings, nothing more and nothing less :-)
