petergales Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) I'm having to down size my collection of basses so, reluctantly, am selling my USA 62 reissue Jazz Bass. I have had this bass for just about a year now, having bought it new from The Bass Centre. It is a beautiful instrument and is still a current line in the Fender range so the detailed spec can be found on the Fender website. Briefly, this bass is in sunburst with a rosewood fingerboard and has the stacked knob volume and tone controls. It comes with a vintage case, covers (still wrapped in tissue), string mutes, strap, cable and all the tags, etc. It is in immaculate condition (see pictures attached) and would set you back nearly £1,500 to buy new today. I'm letting this one go for £1,200 ovno. If you are interested, send me a PM for contact details. Edited October 25, 2009 by petergales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etienne Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I've got one of these (albeit with more than a few mods!) and love it- good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete[/quote] Nothing too radical- just some useful stuff for a workhorse bass! I've changed the original pickups for Nordstrand NJ4s, fitted a series/parallel toggle switch onto the control plate, and finally copper-shielded and star-grounded the electronics. I also stripped the original black nitro finish down to bare wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
