HI Guys n Gals

Im looking at getting my son a new bass for his 18th in Jan and have found a 1999 ( birth year ) American Deluxe Jazz 5.

Hes played a 98 Mex Jazz 5 and loved it, so that box is ticked. My question is, ive not bought anything this level before and wonder if £995 is a fair price. Its in real good condition and comes cased.

Any help would be massively appreciated

I don't really know too much about the Fender market, but I would have though a Deluxe jazz under £1k would be a reasonable deal, although this one is a little older. If the condition is good though, whats not to love!

Thats what i thought, the added bonus is that its from the same year he was born so a little sentimental touch too.

My wife bought me an aluminium necked Applause acoustic from 75 for my 40th last year and i love it as much for the age reason as its playability

Its a cool thing to have. I looked high and low for the richt 1988 Warwick a while ago for the same reasons, didn't find one but hopefully one day!
