Marcus Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) Guys, Beautiful USA 75 Re-issue Jazz Bass in rare factory Sunburst (totally original with lovely brown leather look case) Made in 1999 (first year of production when they did a couple of finishes other than the Natural) The bass itself is a really nice example which plays sounds and sets up perfectly.... Anyone who knows me knows I don't buy anything other than the best examples of Fenders I've learnt a lot about what a good Jazz bass looks & feels like (from buying some dogs) and this one is from the top draw. I had the advantage of an extended trial with this instrument prior to purchase, so be assured from that it's a belter !!! The bass being 11 years old is starting to gain some MoJo in it's own right, not that it's worn or anything, far from it, it's in superb condition with only a couple of little knocks, but the maple board and neck has a lovely aged patina to it which just looks superb with the sunburst and black blocks. As far as price is concerned it's £800 firm [b]SOLD PENDING PAYMENT[/b] I may be persuaded to take a Squier VMJ or CV - but not really interested in PX as I'm selling to fund the next stage of a custom build PM any questions or give me a call 07818 044187 Located North East ATB Mark Edited February 23, 2010 by Marcus

Just cos I've accidentally sold our house this week and I'm desperately searching for somewhere new to rest my basses (before I have to move in with the In-Laws) doesn't mean to say that you can rub this in. This is yet another lush bass from Monsieur L

Not sure i've got the "equipment" to give you an exact pounds and ounces.... it's certainly under 9lb though Mark

XB26354 Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Words cannot express how good the '75 reissue is - I had a natural one and if it were not for me being incapable of enjoying 4 stringers these days it would have been my number one - light, growly and punchy - and the sunburst is blooming rare and better than natural imho. Have a bump on me!
CHRISDABASS Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Marcus!! I'd love to buy this bass off you! U always seem to get hold of the nicest examples Good luck with the sale ( if i get the money together this one's mine)
Huw Foster Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I'm not normally a fan of maple boards, but that has to be one of the best I've ever seen.
firmo Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) I'm going to have to do some serious back of the couch money hunting when I get in from work tonight. I've been after one of these for a while. edit: aaargh north east! Edited February 23, 2010 by firmo
