Here for sale is my 1968 Fender Jazz bass in sunburst with tort pick guard. I bought this bass as my "never need another" in 2014 from Andy Baxter. It was set up and new strings fitted when I collected it. It is with a heavy heart I'm offering it for sale. I have played it maybe a dozen times since having it, and only gigged it twice, and now I'm at a stage where it is a lot of money to be tied up in something I don't even look at let alone play. It has lived in its case in a heated bedroom since I bought it to keep it away from temp/humidity changes and sunlight. It sounds amazing, it looks amazing. The neck is dated 7th Jul 1968, all pots are matching and dated 50th week of 1968. I believe it to be totally original but you are welcome to view and see for yourself. My only condition is that if you want to take the pots, pickups and neck off to check, you put the cash on the table first to show you are a serious buyer. I don't want to take this apart absolutely any more than required due to damage risk so show me you are serious.

The original hard case in included in the sale.

Condition wise it has been used, there are some small marks/chips, it is not a 10/10, but I bought it to gig with. It is perhaps a 8/10 but it is your responsibility to view and make your own mind up.

Viewing and playing is obviously recommended for such a purchase, I'm located near Darlington. See my other ad for a PJB amp/cab setup too.




Cheers,

Keep this, sell me the Fender 60th and I'll go stay at my mother's in Mowden (BIG brownie points)

And there's my perfect J bass right there. If only I had that sort of cash to splash. Good luck with the sale; this will make one buyer a very happy low end lover indeed.

Dream YOB bass and MOB pots. Can I interest you in one of my kidneys + minor organs your way?

I have a pair of these, one with lollipop tuners and one with elephant ears, both in sunburst.

Really lovely instruments - definitely a 'good year' as far as I'm concerned
