SOLD - Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V Natural, 2014 £1200 London, UK

[Skerritt]

SOLD

Up for sale, sadly, is my 2014 Fender American Deluxe Jazz V, complete with original Fender hard case and unopened case candy.

Only had one owner (me) and has spent the last couple of years in the case due to life getting in the way. Unfortunately I can't justify holding on to it any longer.

It's everything you'd expect from a top quality Fender V string , 34" scale length, plays like a dream and weighs in at around 4.2kg (9.25lbs). The two N3 pickups sound amazing and the active circuit really adds a bit if you need it to.

It has a barely used set of Slinky's on it at the moment (which I'll happily throw in) and it still looks and plays like it did in the shop.

Almost as good as new, I've gigged it a handful of times but have kept it in rather good nick. The only blemishes being a tiny ding on the underside and a really miniscule mark on the headstock. Both are pitcured. The volume pot rises up a touch when approaching full volume, but doesn't effect the playability or wiring at all. An easy fix. The case has a few light scratches but still has that 'new case' smell.

I can ship (at buyer's expense) but would prefer to hand it over in person. I'm based in North London but I can possibly arrange to travel if absolutely necessary.

No trades, but potentially interested in a part-exchange for a 90s Fender Mustang (the kind with 6 strings... blasphemy).

Thanks for looking!

Any idea what post would cost to UK mainland?

[delapoer]

Someone said TNT are good for this type of thing.

Hi Delapoer,

I've just had a quick look at a few services and it seems to be around £15-20 depending on the service

[delapoer]

Thanks, would that be insured? Can you be slightly more specific about where you are?  I know someone in Fulham who might collect.  Are you open to offers?

[Skerritt]

TNT offer enhanced liability insurance for items up to £5000, it's slightly unclear on their website whether it's £4 or £10 for this service. Where would you need it shipped to in the UK? The bass is in Muswell Hill (N10).  I'm keen to keep the price close to asking considering the condition, but feel free to make an offer!

[delapoer]

I could get someone to collect so post isn't a problem.  I am wondering about buying a brand new Ultra version since it is only half as much again as yours (and most of the extra is VAT).  I will get back to you.

[Skerritt]

Sure thing mate, drop me a message if you're interested!

[delapoer]

Has something happened to the rear of the top machine head?  It seems to have lost its plating and the Fender writing. 

[Skerritt]

That's just a reflection of the window sill! Apologies for the confusion, it was a sunny day when I took those pictures

[delapoer]

On the rear of the machine head where "Authentic Fender" is written on the gear wheel?  The word Fender looks very worn and the surface is very different from the others.  Any chance of a close up of that one and the next one?

[Skerritt]

Here's a picture without too much reflection (they're shiny as hell, it was quite a tough task!). They're all in top condition 👍

TNT was OK for me also,  today delivered a fretless Frudua for me..    effortless,  and flawlessly.

How does the low b sound? Any audio clip?

I don't have an audio interface unfortunately, so no clean recordings of the low B.

The pickups can handle quite a bit, I've had Slinkys on it for a while (130 on the low B) and there's a bit of thump to it, which I like personally. I've previously played with Boomers and it gave it a very different feel and tone
