Fender Japan Hybrid 5 String Jazz - £750 plus postage. - *SOLD* £995 Brighton UK

[WishICouldWalk]

Selling this as thinning down the herd. I got this as I wanted a passive jazz to string with flats to take to jazz jams but I've come to the realisation that I only like flats on a 4 string P so this duplicates my GB Spitfire. Been gigged a small handful of times but mainly bedroom use. Currently strung with pretty fresh DR Hi Beams. No hardcase with this. Local pickup in Brighton preferred but will box this up for anyone who wants to arrange a courier. It will come with the original white pickguard.

Thanks for looking.

Apparently it's the mix of modern and vintage features. This is from Fender's own blurb:

 

LIMITED QUANTITY

The Made in Japan Hybrid II is a series worthy of being called a "hybrid", as it retains its vintage looks and incorporates almighty modern specs for any player or music genre. Regardless of rhythm or lead, we have created a product that combines playability and instrumental tone that fits any guitarist or bassist.

 

I think in the case of this bass the vintage is the passive electronics and the 20 fret neck. The modern is the through body stringing option, the tuners and the bridge. I bought it as I wanted a totally no frills instrument with decent playability and build quality and I also wanted a heel adjust truss rod as I'm old school in that regard - rightly or wrongly I think they are more reliable than bullets or other headstock adjust truss rods.
