Price drop: £800 or £750 without case
I've seen something else I'd like.

Fender 1996, or early '97 50th Anniversary Jazz bass, in superb condition. There are virtually no marks or scratches on this lovely Jazz bass. There's just a tiny "dint" around 1mm on top of the neck (near fret 14). Amazing condition for a 22 year old bass - the previous owner said he had never gigged it - he just played it at home, and has never even been in a band. In fact, you could hang this up in a shop, and claim it as brand new!
It's a beautiful tobacco burst colour and looks and sounds stunning. Comes complete with shaped hard case, which itself is in near mint condition, and has all the "case candy" / hang-tags and truss rod key. Even the hang tags look brand new.
The neck is standard Jazz width, but feels slightly "fuller" than my MIJ Jazz or say a Flea Jazz / C shaped neck. Currently strung with LaBella flats, I can let you have a set of nearly new rounds, if you prefer. (I recently put Flats on another Jazz and loved the sound)

I prefer not to post delicate musical instruments, and would prefer you to try the bass and make sure you're happy with it -  so collection from my place in South Wales (near Cardiff / Caerphilly) or I could meet / deliver somewhere mutually convenient (I have just acquired some battery headphones for checking the bass). I'm not looking for any trades, but might be tempted with a JV Squier Precision bass.

I have no way of accurately weighing this bass, but it does feel a tad heavier than my MIJ or my Roadworn P basses

Just to add - if anyone doesn't want the hard case for this bass (I've got too many myself)
Then I'd take around £50 off the asking price.
EDIT: I'm sure I could find a gigbag, if you didn't want the case....

This Jazz is in such good condition, as an anniversary model it must be quite a collectible instrument

I also have a pickguard in red tort, if prospective buyers prefer? Original also included in the sale
Note: I would consider trades for a Squier JV Precision against this bass (especially for a Sunburst / Rosewood / Tort one!)

EDIT: There's another bass I have become interested in, and until that sells, I am willing to temporarily drop the price on this lovely condition jazz a bit further
£750 with case, or £700 without (but inc hang tags / candy) - if the other bass sells in the meantime, I'll put the asking price of this one back up...
