On hold pending - Fender American Jazz Bass 1995 - £795 - *SOLD* £845 Gloucestershire

[MungoBass]

Fender USA Jazz Bass from 1995.  Finished in two-tone sunburst with what is now an off white pickguard.  The pictures make it look white but it has definitely changed colour over the years!  The frets and rosewood fingerboard are in good condition with some great grain on show, the satin maple neck feels great in the hand and appears to have lost a little of the satin.  The chrome is also in nice condition.  There are some minor nicks, dings and surface scratches but for a 27 year old bass, I believe it to be in well above average condition.  It plays and sounds as you would expect from a good Jazz.  The semi-solid Armourdillo case is in great shape and has a neat zippered top section which contains plenty of storage for an iPad, books, strings, cables etc.

 

I will happily ship (at buyer’s expense and risk) if required but it will be very well packed.  Collection in person welcomed!

Why is the serial number covered up?

Hi.  

 

I prefer to keep the full number covered as sadly there appear to be too many Fender fakes available on a certain on line auction site, meaning some unsuspecting buyers end up paying decent money for a budget Bass with a ‘proper’ Fender serial number.  People can use these genuine numbers and apply them to a cheap bass meaning a buyer thinks they are getting the real deal.  It is very easy to pick up a sunburst Jazz copy with a rosewood fingerboard!  I’m not for one minute saying BCers would do this!  I can assure you this is a genuine American Fender made in April 1995 and am happy to provide you with the number if you would like to check yourself.

 

I hope this helps?

Had one of these as a teenager - worked 2 part time jobs to save for it. Looks almost identical…

Did you buy yours new?  Feel free to give in to the temptation!

For its year, was this the equivalent of a US Special/Performer, or a full US standard?

I think (but could easily be wrong!) it would have been third in line behind the American Vintage Reissue and American Deluxe series basses.

That makes me feel very old!  I genuinely have at least 5 pairs of shoes older than you! 🤣
