REDUCED TO £1699 - Fender American Vintage 64 Jazz Bass 2013 White - 1st 46 limited edition - *SOLD* £1950 Ripon

[thedontcarebear]

Weight = 9.4lbs (with covers on)

 

This is one of 46 made with the limited edition Neck Plate on (see photos), so a rare beast!  I've owned it from new, I got it from Bax originally years ago.

It's spent most of its life in the case (which is in good shape itself), and even comes with the original outer box (which it was also in for many years).

I gigged it once, and used it in the studio once as the bass I was meant to be using decided to die on the day this arrived.

It's in great shape, but due to the finish used on these basses there is some natural checking that has appeared (and is impossible to photo I've found, but have a look at the photos anyway), people usually pay extra for checking.  It's basically on the front and back of the body and around the neck pocket.  Neck is like new though from what I can tell.

Where the rear pickup cover sits, the screws have caused a bit of chipping, and a bit of finish rash - both of those are impossible to see with the cover on, I didn't notice when I got it new til I took those off.

It comes with tonnes of case candy, including an unused strap, unused strings, instructions etc etc.

Pickup preferred near junction 50 A1 (near Harrogate kind of).

 

Can post at buyers cost if fully insured.

 

Willing to consider near offers, send me a PM.

 

Although I look newish around here, I’ve been on the forum for years, feedback thread here…

Wow!😛

I’ve got one of these albeit without the special edition neck plate. Same colour, mine’s got the checking too! Great basses, taking mine out for a rehearsal this afternoon! GLWTS

I think it must be almost impossible to avoid, this has rarely been used but still has it, most of its life it was in the case with those little packs to soak up humidity.  And it’s not been exposed to massively changing temperatures.

 

Great bass, up there with a custom shop, but I have 4 jazzes in total right now and another being built, due at the end of the year.  And I don’t even play out the house anymore!

I don’t think you can, but you can edit the title and add that it’s reduced there!

[thedontcarebear]

Just weighed it for those wanting to know, 9.4 lbs with both covers on.

Would love to own one of these. Looks stunning. Wish you were closer and I may have offered a trade suggestion. Glwts.

Ah yeah just seen you’re in the IoW, that is pretty far!

[4Everdelayed]

Yeah it is a bit 🙃 Let me know if you’re ever heading south!

[thedontcarebear]

Can post this now if needbe, will just have to be insured of course!

[thedontcarebear]

Gave this a big old price reduction to £1699.  That's £300-ish less than the non 1st 46 one that Bass gallery have on Reverb.
