Crafted In Japan

[stefboltonfc]

After losing out on a MIJ (Salmon Pink) '62 Jazz Bass on eBay last night (probably to one of you evil people) due to being caught out by £1 in the last five seconds, I've decided I really need one in my life.

Would anyone be willing to sell one, or know anyone who wants to sell one, or even any local stores* that are selling one?

*Preferably NOT to be imported in from the US, or Far East - because I haven't yet got the balls and confidence to buy from abroad.

If anyone can help me with my new lust, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!!

I got my '75 CIJ Jazz from Far East Guitars. No hassle, no importing, sent from the UK. Just checked the website, and there's a nice white / tort one on there for £550 - [url="http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/usedjb5.htm"]'62 Reissue[/url]

Just sold a white one ..
Don't suppose you fancy a Fender JV P bass 62RI from 1982? It's not pink

It's no hassle to import a used one from Japan. Just needs a few extra quid for postage and tax ..

Old Git... I don't think I have the four figure sum you'd want for it!

Would you guys recommend £550 as a good price? I am actually in love with this beaut, and the money is ready to be gone from my account! Reckon I could get some money off though?

Hi. I have a Pink/red 62 Japan, thinking of moving it on.
It was originally from Far East Guitars.
The pic that I took some time ago, shows it more red
than it is. If you are interested, let me know.
Has a Freestyle (slightly road worn) hard case.

I have four other Japanese Jazzes and I can confirm
that they are a great instrument. I have never played
a Mexican one, so I can't match them to their quality/sound
but I do have two US and you would struggle to tell the difference
in most circumstances.
Good luck in your search - let me know if you want more pics.

Cheers.
Flat Eric.

Right... the gorgeous white Jap Jazz is on its way.

I'm far too excited for Thursday morning when the lovely DHL man brings me my new baby!

Impulse buying - gotta love it.

Shame that I've had to borrow £200 from the father, looks like I'm going to be working overtime to get him paid back. Or, I might sell my Squier Vintage Mod to one of you guys? Failing that, to eBay I shall venture!

Did you order the one from Far East then? Looks lovely in the pics.
