casapete Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Selling my black Fenix PJ bass. This was made in the early 1990's in Korea by the same company (Young Chang) who made the excellent quality Squier instruments at the time for Fender. The bass is in very good condition considering it is close on 30 years old! Precision and Jazz style pickups, which originally had Stratocaster style knobs fitted but I have replaced these with the more usual chrome ones. ( original knobs come with it too though.) Nice chunky bridge, and the rosewood fretboard is nicely figured. Very well made bass, sounds great with recently fitted strings. Will come with a 70's vintage shaped hard case, scruffy but does the job! These often fetch around £200 + (one currently on ebay for £275!) so a good price for a great bass. Happy to listen to offers though! NOW SOLD! Edited March 16, 2020 by casapete Locations changed 3
casapete Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 Happy to listen to offers on this - nice quality bass for not a lot of dosh.
casapete Posted February 6, 2020 Author Posted February 6, 2020 Have I overpriced this or is the market just dead at the moment? Thought this was a good buy - may have to resort to fleabay I think.....😕
BaggyMan Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Couple of things, yes the market is hard work, and a lot of folk dont know how good the fenix stuff was and that they had a hand in early squier production etc. A bit of spiel about that might helps move things along. I have a fenix jazz bass, excellent wish i still had it. 1
Bassassin Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 You might already know, but there's a Fenix owners' FB page, might be worth sticking it on there. I would say the price is a silly bargain, but BC is BC... I have a Fenix Strat, basically a hot-rodded version of the Young Chang Squier (and the reason they lost the Fender contract), and it's a killer, plays better than my E- serial MIJ. 1
ead Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) I had one of these for a while but with the scalloped headstock that I think came a bit later on the time line than this bass. Great instruments and very nicely put together as @Bassassin mentioned looks to be a great value purchase for somebody. Edited February 10, 2020 by ead 1
casapete Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 New locations for meeting up added type bump.
casapete Posted March 3, 2020 Author Posted March 3, 2020 Will now include a (possibly 70's) vintage fitted hard case - scruffy but does the job (bit like me....)
