USA Standard Jazz V(1999) with JRetro pre-amp £1200

[mervg]

Up for grabs is my 1999 USA made standard Jazz V string bass. I have developed tendonitis in my first finger and I am switching to 4 string. In consequence this bass does not get used like it should.

It is in very good condition and only has one minor ding on the bottom of the body (see the individual pic). Generally its good to go !

It has been raced but never rallied and comes in a non Fender tweed case.

This is a great bass which I bought in the USA and I have been the only owner. What sets this apart is that it has a pair of stock output lindy fralin pickups in it - click on the link to check them out -  https://www.fralinpickups.com/product/5-string-jazz-bass/

I also installed a John East J-RETRO preamp http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/all-products/j-retro-01.html

which is a simple, neat and brilliant upgrade.

These items together give great tone and control and today you would spend over £300 for these alone.

The bass plays extremely well and were it not for my physical imperfection would not be going anywhere.

I am based not far from Heathrow so can meet up or ship

would consider a good older 4string Jazz in trade/ trade + cash
