bassmasta2b Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) New pics This is for trade with Custom Shop or old Fender Jazz/Pbass withe ROSEWOOD neck only Sorry but text in French , i can answer question PM . Voila une jazz bass " Gold on Gold " de 1982 ALL ORIGINAL issue d'une serie speciale ( Collector's Series ) produite au catalogue Fender de 1981 à 1983 , desinie par Dan Smith epoque Fullerton . Le custom shop n'existant pas à cette epoque cette serie était le top proposé par Fender et Dan smith ,à l'époque cette Jazz ( ainsi que la strat de la meme serie ) se vendait neuve 1300 USD ce qui doit faire.............pas mal en 2009 ! Corps en Ash , manche mapple avec binding crème , niveau electronique la particularite réside dans le micro aigu qui est plus près du chevalet comme sur les Jazz 70' ce qui à pour effet de donner un coté encore plus mordant à ce dernier . Sinon niveau mecaniques c'est classique le chevalet est plus massif qu'un fender classique mais le truc de fou ces pieces sont carrement recouvertes d'or , à tel point que la legende dit qu'à l'époque Fender perdait du cash sur la vente de chaque Strat ou Jazz Gold Pour la petite histoire j'ai acheté cette basse il y a deux ans environ à un onlybassien qui l'avait lui meme acheté à guitare village . Vous allez voir sur les photos qu'elle à vraiment vécue , la peinture en temoigne , j'aimerais vraiment connaitre le passé de cette basse , tout ce que je sais c'est qu'un luthier parisien très connu , l' a acheté dans un depot vente aux states avec une fissure sur le manche , il à effectué un travail remarquable ( regardez les photos ) en recollant la fissure mais surtout en rajoutant un renfort en metal par le trou de la mecanique du Mi . Avant d'acheter la basse j'ai telephoné au luthier pour voir ce qu'il en était de ce "probleme " il m' avait répondu que la réparation datait de 8 ans et m'a donné toutes les garanties en me certifiant que le manche etait encore plus solide qu'avant reparation ; de plus le manche est parfaitement droit le truss nickel , je peux régler cette Jazz sans cale ( ce qui est rare ) avec une action de 2 .2mm à la 12eme case . Le son est vraiment exeptionnel avec une dynamique impressionnante et une attaque très prononcée , en salp c'est ennnnnnnnnnnorme et aux doigts les mediums grognent fort . Pour ce qui est de la rareté de la bête je poste un petit lien de talkbass avec une idée de la côte : [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-388629.html%22"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/archive/inde...p/t-388629.html[/url] (ps: le french player dont ils parlent c'est moi ) Autres photos sur demande avec photos des pots , micros , date du manche , etui d'origine ect ect .....................

skankdelvar Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Hi Bassmasta2b - Here's another translation for you - no guarantee of accuracy. OP please contact me if any probs with this translation - [i]italics[/i] are mine and indicate uncertainty. [quote]Here's an all original 1982 Jazz Bass - Gold on Gold - part of a limited run (Collector's series) made by Fender between 1981 and 1983 and designed by Dan Smith during the Fullerton era. The Custom Shop hadn't been set up at this time and this was top of the range during Fender's Dan Smith period. At the time, this Jazz retailed new at $1500, which would be cheap - in 2009! Ash body, maple neck with cream binding; as with 70's Jazzes, the back pick-up is positioned closer to the bridge, which adds a little bite. [i](Upgraded?)[/i] [i](Gold)[/i] Tuners; The bridge is more solidly engineered than the standard Fender classic, and, in a fit of madness, has been gold plated ([i]during manufacture[/i]). Legend has it that Fender actually lost money on each and every Gold Strat or Jazz they sold. I bought this bass a couple of years ago from an 'Onlybass-er' who, in turn, got it from Guitar Village. You'll see from the images that it's been around a bit; I'd love to know more about the history of this bass. All I really know for sure is that a well-known luthier in Paris bought it in a pawn shop in the States with a crack in the neck. He did a remarkably good job glueing the crack and adding a metal pin reinforcement through the hole for the Mi tuner ([i]E-tuner?).[/i] Before I bought this bass, I gave the luthier a call to find out more about this problem. He assured me that the repair was 8 years old and gave me all the guarantees to say that the neck was even more solid than before the repair. The neck is perfectly straight, with a nickel truss rod and an unusually low action - 2.2mm at the 12th fret. This has a really great sound - impressive dynamics and a pronounced 'attack'. Great for slap, and, when played with fingers, the mids just jump out at you. To give you an idea of how rare this beast is, here's a link to talk bass. The "French Player" they're talking about is me.

Ou7shined Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Google translator has spectacularly failed on this occasion. My take on that last sentence is... The sound is exceptional with an impressive dynamic range and a very marked attack, the slap sound is massive and finger style produces growly mids.
