Philly Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) For sale or trade is my lovely 2010 Fender Road Worn Jazz in Fiesta Red. I have not had this for long, and have admired and wanted one of these since they originally came out. It doesn't disappoint, it looks, sounds and plays really lovely, but to allow me to continue trying basses I have an enforced one in one out policy, and I have to face the fact that it is not going to displace my DJ passive jazz from number one jazz bass spot. It is roadworn with all the knocks and bangs that they have, and it looks, feels and plays like an old bass, but with the added advantage of modern technology. Pictures below, I would say very good condition......for a roadworn bass! http://imgur.com/a/PZ3Sj A veritable racecar of a bass, the Jazz Bass® guitar was born in the '60s 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 Road Worn® '60s Jazz Bass guitar delivers that aged look and feel. Designed with '60s 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.

Philly Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 It's a very comfy 8.3lbs on the bathroom scales.
Philly Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 The roadworn series are all Mexican made, but are significantly different to any standard Mexican models which is reflected in the price tag.

[/quote] I think they always did retail over £1000. I did see the P Bass version at slightly under that for a while around 5 years ago. Anyway, the Road Worn series are incredible and I'm a huge fan.
