FSR USA 75 Reissue Jazz Bass - Dakota Red one-off! ON HOLD £1800

[bakerster135]

For sale, my unique USA FSR Dakota Red 75 re-issue from 2001, excellent condition. This was a one-off prototype bass produced by the Fender USA R&D department for Guitar Centre, to try out Dakota Red on a 1975 style bass with matching headstock (as you know, a non-standard 1975 feature). It plays and sounds better than the two other '70s Jazz Basses I own and is built/finished as well as any custom shop Jazz bass I've tried. Quite a unique serial number of 00099 on the neck-plate.

 

It has an alder body, maple neck and choice rosewood fingerboard with pearl blocks and binding, pencil-thin neck and capable of a very low action without buzz (though I like a medium-high action personally...). 

 

Weight is 4.1kg / 9lbs.

 

I have a letter from Michael Doyle at Fender which confirms provenance and the original pickup covers. Unfortunately, I do not have the original case so would come with a Hiscox. Also comes with hangtags, micro-tilt allen key, etc.

£1500 inc. postage in the UK

I used to own this bass, it's a cracker and it was a wrench to sell it when I did.
