EDIT: Weight = 9.2lbs - decently light for a Fender V like this. There’s some real boat anchors out there but this isn’t one ⚖️

For sale is my candy apple red 5 string MIM 2000 Fender Jazz Deluxe. This is one from the Suhr era and has the amazing pickups designed by John Suhr with the fat single pole pieces - these are pickups with a ridiculous amount of articulation & low end and are a favourite of gospel players from over the pond

It was active, but has been converted to passive, I was going to stick the preamp back on it but it sounds huge anyway and I didn’t really want to change the sound at all - but it does come with the Suhr preamp, it’s a bit battered, but it works and a couple of new knobs and you’ll be good to go (these Suhr preamps are always praised for how musical they are) The original preamp is the 4 knob deluxe so it does have a redundant I pot on the side of the body, as well as the working one on the control plate, however if you out

the preamp back on (or something else that would fit like the Sadowsky or East Retro Deluxe) then you can wire it up again -

I was going to do this but the sound of this passive is so good I didn’t want to alter it, and really enjoyed playing a passive J

Its been professionally setup up with a nice low action (but not too low - it slaps extremely well), it’s been well gigged and

has loads of mojo and a few chips around the edges (I’ve tried to capture in pics) nothing major but it’s no case Queen. Also comes with 3 spare scratchplates other than the cream one that’s on it - white Pearl, mint green & tort

Price includes U.K. shipping with a fender gig bag. This is a really nice Jazz bass, both how it plays and how it sounds but I have a 5 string MTD Saratoga Jazz as well as a Lakland 55-02 which both cover me For all the jazz bass tones I need, but I need a PJ (looking at the Sadowsky MetroExpress or Yamaha 1024/5) and can’t afford to buy them until I shift something.

Its a slow market at the moment, so I am pricing this as competitively as I possibly can - I think it’s an absolute bargain. You’re welcome to try it out if you’re in the North East (or want to travel here) you will not be

disappointed IMO
