SOLD : 1987 & 1993 Fender Jazz Bass Specials - Black and White - make me an offer! £750

[Clarky72]

PRICE DROP TO £650 FOR EACH

 

1993 Fender Jazz Bass Special for sale. MIJ. Great condition for a 25 year old bass. There are some scratches and wear which I have tried to show in the pics. The most noticeable are the headstock and the edge of the body near the knobs. A much better bass than the Duff McKagan signature models, slimmer J neck rather the P, and better pickups. All original aside the knobs, and the Black Death sticker, which is just vinyl and will peel off without leaving any mark or residue (if you're not a diehard GNR fan)

 

1987 Fender Jazz Bass Special for sale. MIJ. Almost spotless, superb condition. White paint has matured into a lovely cream patina. No real marks or scratches to speak of.

Nice...... tempting!!

[Clarky72]

Ooops, just remembered, the knobs aren't original. They've been changed to black metal tele types like Duff's bass. I have the original Fender F knobs at home somewhere though.

Good Lord!!! 😍😍😍

I've had 3 of these over the years, they are great Basses, and this is one of the cleanest I've ever seen!!

Just one thing, are you sure the Split P pickup is original?  Could just be the camera angle, but as far as I remember, the pole pieces were oversized (much like they are on SD QP's), you can see this on the Jazz pup, but they look more 'normal' size on the P Pickup...

Lush Bass either way!  GLWTS!

Now you mention it I might have swapped the stock out for Fender 62 P's.... I really can't remember to be honest!

re: the Split pickup, not always - both of mine had the normal sized pole pieces. I suppose it's a bit like the fact that some of these came with black lacquered necks and some were natural gloss. They also sometimes came with different bridges too. One of my basses has a Gotoh looking bridge that I've seen on other similar models and the other is just the BBoT type. Yet there's just two years between their manufacture date. 

Still, that aside, who cares, these are the real deal and some of the best to come out of Fender Japan (for good examples that have been looked after they are remarkable for the money). Although I don't tend to gig with them as I'm of 5 or 6 strings, these are two basses that I will be very hard pushed to ever part with. (Especially the example that I use in Guitar Interactive the most. Insanely nice!)

Ah well that's good to know, I know the few I had all had the oversized pole pieces, that's what led me to beleive they all did!!

Live and learn!  Cheers Dan!

Is there something attached to the side of the headstock where the tuners come out? Can't really see from the pictures.

[Clarky72]

Ah yes, its just a pick holder. Peels right off if not needed.
