Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe (Active) Mexican with John East J-Retro 01 Deluxe Preamp (Price Drop £500 including UK shipping) - *SOLD* £600 Northern Ireland

[Jimmy141]

This bass is in very good condition considering it is from 1997 with one small chip on the back and a ding on the front near the top horn (see pics). It has large pole piece John Suhr pickups which are different sizes just like a more recent jazz bass so they can be changed if desired for any other pickups (this was not the case for a normal Mexican made bass of the time as both pickups were the same size and couldn’t be changed). It has a dark rosewood fretboard with excellent fretwork and a John East J-Retro Deluxe Preamp installed but the original will also be included. Set up with a low action and D'Addario Nickels 45 -105. Comes with a Fender gig bag and the weight is 4.3kg. Price is £600 including fully insured shipping with UPS across the UK only or £550 collected, no trades cheers.

Is this the one I sold you last year? May be interested in having it back, sold this and another Jazz on the same day, bought a new Vintera Jazz as a backup to my Classic 60s one, but the Vintera had to be sent back due to a neck issue. The replacement was rejected as it suffered damage in transit, the replacement for the replacement has been rejected by the shop as it also has issues with the neck. Unless it gets sort out in the next day or two, I'll take the refund they offered and therefore would be in the market for another 7 1/4" radius fingerboard Jazz. I took this one over to John East's place and he fitted the preamp while we chatted about all things bass - it has a history with me.
