Traded. Fender American Hot Rod Precision. £850

[karlfer]

Reluctant but I have 3 P/J's and this is the most valuable, and probably most saleable as they don't come up often. Black is the least common colour, Maple is the least common board.

These Hot Rods were only made for 11 months from July 1999 before becoming the Hot Rodded, which ran for about 2 years.
Lots of info on the balanced pick ups on BC & TB.
Graphite rods, 41.6mm nut, 8lb 13oz, not original case, but expensive (and quite scuffed) Fender case included.

A myriad of tiny surface scuffs on the back, that won't photograph, but for an 18 year old bass it's in good condition

It's almost impossible for me to courier now, unless YOU want to sort out a Saturday collection.

TRADES.
I would prefer a trade for an American Jazz Deluxe dated 2013 to 2016. I have £100 to add to the Hot Rod.
Please remember the Deluxe Jazzes of that time were selling new for between £1250/£1300 so really shouldn't be considered the same value as the current Elite series!

Happy to meet up within 50 mile radius of Wigan. Any trial, feedback linked below.
Thanks for looking,
cheers,
Karl.

Very nice Karl☺

[Bassulike66]

For crying out loud!! Someone please buy this bass!!
Had a couple of these over the years and they sound immense. Also converted mine to active set up using EMG pups and BTC system.
GLWTS...

[Lozz196]

If I had the money I`d buy this one, then sell one of my others. Still, that`s the price one pays for recent GAS over-buying. Bah!

[karlfer]

Thanks guys very kind

No, the price does NOT include shipping, especially at over £100 insured to southern Europe . As stated, change in work circs means shipping is now very difficult for me.

All pm's replied (a lot), a Euro LX and a Darkglass 900 were both very tempting, but I must (finally) stay true to my quest!

[karlfer]

Further pm's replied.

And in a public response to "that guy" , sorry my patience with cockwombles isn't what it used to be.....................................

Sunburst one sold in the States a few weeks back at $1050
Transluscent Orange (Ash, probably heavy maaannnn) sold on Bumtree 2 weeks ago for £950.

That's the only two I've noticed this year.

[stu_g]

i had one of these same colour with a maple neck was a brilliant bass,good luck with the sale.

[karlfer]

Thanks Stu.
I've only seen the Hot Rodded (skunk stripe) in black, but looks like there are one or two of the original Hot Rods in the UK.

Right, after 14 trade offers, none of which were 2013-2016 Deluxe Jazzes (+ I have£100 or so) or even USA 75 RI's , I think I need to make this sale only.

[karlfer]

Actually Rich, Paul's offer is one of the more sensible ones

[Thunderbird]

I thought it was a bloody good offer lol

[fretmeister]

I made the offer.

To be fair I thought my mother in law still had some mileage in her.

In many ways she did, lovely shade of Daphne Blue.
But the plywood teeth

Seriously though, more trade offers but none of the basses I require.

[karlfer]

All further PM's, offers replied to thanks.
Still currently here.

[itsmedunc]

To Mrs itsmedunc this would look remarkably like a Tony Butler I took in a trade recently. If I had the cash, the 'con' would be on! Looks a great bass. GLWTS.

Cheers Dunc

This could have been sold half a dozen times over, but as stated in the initial post, I am sadly not in a position to courier at the moment.

[foxyFuze]

There's a chap selling his Jazz Deluxe on FB on Bass Players Market UK;thought I'd post just in case you hadn't seen it...

[karlfer]

Cheers Foxy, very kind.
On my radar but I need to sell something 1st

[karlfer]

£800 with TATTY GIGBAG rather than hardcase.
You won't see many of these this year.
Still have a few bob towards the right jazz as well.

[karlfer]

Over 20 basses offered in trade, some a little more realistic than others .
4 people fundraising to buy this.

Still here though.
Probably going to remove if it's still here next weekend as it would appear this uncommon bass is not quite desirable enough for folk to bite the bullet.

I feel your pain Karl, lots of beautiful basses on here at reasonable prices but lots of tyre kicking too I'm afraid. GLWTS

[karlfer]

Cheers Bri.

On hold.

I'm pleased this is on hold, the temptation has been getting greater every time this bass comes to the top! Surprised it hasn't sold sooner
