Fender Jazz CIJ 98-00 £725 (firm) delivered come and get me £795 Clitheroe

[Duroc17]

This is a very beautiful LPB jazz bass (that has gleaned many a comment from other bands) that has one of the finest necks I’ve ever played, since my luthier pal sanded off the sticky gloss - was much lighter but sheer amount of hours I’ve played this has put the colour back in. 7.25 radius and a lush dark rosewood board 
 

He also installed some excellent colbalt chrome pickups to add extra bite and note definition (£190 cost me) plus fender hi-mass bridge. 
 

I’ve just had the deluxe set up from Northwest Guitars (usual luthier pal was touring at time) with new TI flats. So frets all now shiny and life back in them. Electronics cleaned. Shielding paint applied too - I rehearse under strip lights so was a noisy environment- now not a problem 

 

also comes with original bridge with Fender aged ash tray cover (doesn’t fit with himass bridge) and original pickups and spare cream covers

Weight approx 8.5 lbs. It’s light but still feels substantial- easy gets through 3-4 hour rehearsals

 

For extra £35 can send in soft case but would rather keep it if possible

 

when bought it historically has had a fine headstock crack and both luthier and northwest guitars luthier said it looks absolutely fine. I have had no issues at all but this is reflected in the low asking price as are the dings or battle scars - that people pay good money for in a relic 

 

someone will get a superb bass that is very resonant, a dream to play, feels alive - I’ll be sad not to hold on to this one but having just spent nearly 2.5k on new gear I need to claw some back. 

£20 boxed to UK or local north west/west yorks meet up - welcome to come round and have a play too
