Grangur Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Just checking Gumtree and saw this. The tuners may have been replaced? Did Fender do 5 tuners in a line? https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/5-string-mexican-jazz-with-practise-bass-amp/1277938247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 They certainly did a while back. IIRC it was MIMs that had this arrangement. However, I can't speak as to the provenance of the one in the add. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I like the finish - couple of things wrong for me though; 5 string Fender Other than that it's perfect.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Yes, @TheGreek, at that price its tempting as a bargain, but I'm giving up on the hope of playing 5s. I like them, but the tendons in my left elbow don't feel the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Nice colour scheme but I can't tell how well it's been done. Too many frets to make it onto my list though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Beware, someone used the word "fake", it's going to end up with 300 pages of useless comments and a war between the ultras and the moderates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 This a all academic anyway. My fingers got itchy and I messaged him over 24hrs ago. No response so far. It does annoy me when folk don't delete ads after the item is sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 FWIW I have a MIM J5, and that one is exactly the same as mine. (apart from looking like a bar of Shield, obviously) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I played one of these some years ago at The Gallery in Camden. Didn't like the neck or sound. The similarly priced Lakland Skyline 5 I tried was much nicer. I do think it's genuine, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
