Second of my USA Deluxes to go. One of Fender's best 5 string jazzes, now discontinued. Absolute quality build and finish. This bass has been played - by me, original owner - and has a few knocks and dings to show for it as pictured. There's a small nick in the tip of the headstock (damn those venues with low ceilings) and the finish has come away in a small spot on the back of the guitar exposing the wood. Nothing to affect structure or playability though and gives it a bit of the old roadworn in a couple of places.

Amazing range of tones available from the N3 pickups and 18V preamp which is active/passive switchable. The neck plays wonderfully with rolled edges, B string is tight and action can go nice and low. Comes with original Fender ABS case + case candy.

Prefer collection in person but will consider shipping at buyer's expense.
