Are these genuinely rare? I thought they were just the standard Jazz shape for about 4 or 5 years around the early 90s? If so, there must have been thousands sold.

Ended at £100 with no bids? Have I missed something...?

They were classed as the USA standard jazz at the time, but for some reason you dont seem to see many for sale!

Anybody on the forum got one?

There is another one here;

It was ended earlier for me too. Maybe withdrawn and then reactivated?

The listing was ended, presumably by the seller, and then relisted... identically as far as I can see.

That's what I thought - I think rare just means a little bit hard to come by these days.

"All original"... forgive me my ignorance but when did EMG's come as original spec on these basses?

I picked up one of these around a month ago.

tis a beautiful bass, one of the nicest playing fenders i've come across.



a fairly balls photo but it's the only one i've had since getting the bass. i'd be happy to answer any questions!

The only question in my mind: are you tiny or are they giants?!
