FS/FT Fender '62 RI Jazz Made in Japan - Mojo-tastic! TRADES WELCOME £825 Malvern

[El Capo]

Hi everyone,

 

This is my 'old' Japanese Fender Jazz. I put ‘old’ in quotes as it is, quite - I’m just not sure how old! 
 

When I bought it I was told 1986 but I think that number on the neck says 1991/1992 which I think tallies with the serial, apologies for the smudge on the picture (grubby hands!)
 

Anyway, what it IS, is a lovely thing. Battered, bruised and clearly full o’ stories. It sounds HUGE and has a warmth and mellowness to it that took me by surprise. Nut has been repaired but it’s solid. It’s just had the frets dressed - all level now and buzz-free with a good action.  I had originally thought it may need a re-fret but was very pleased once they were all levelled as although they are low this makes for a silky feeling playing experience.

 

Certainly interested in trades for another bass, an active jazz (maple neck preferred) would be awesome and I’d rather deal face to face if possible...I’m based in Malvern but Evesham, Cheltenham and Swindon are my regular work haunts.  I'd need cash my way though as the name of the game is to free up some £££ or I wouldn't be selling.

 

Any questions just yell, I have gone a bit bananas with the pics in the hope it gives you all the info you need!

 

Cheers,

James

Seen something I wants (the precious!) so would consider an offer on this for a collection this weekend. Trades for Fenderish stuff most welcome.

You cunning, cunning, cunning blighter. Luckily I’m in Scotland this week, but very near @dub_junkie which is a bit tricky, since he is selling that nice Ray 34ca. Oh god it hurts.

Am I out on valuation? If so, do try me with an offer!
