Now Sold - USA Fender Jazz V DLX Anniversary

[JPJ]

Here we have my USA Fender Jazz five string which I’ve owned for about the last six/seven years. The bass is the 1996 Anniversary DLX model which I have upgraded with Hipshot Ultralite tuners, Schaller strap locks and a J-Retro active circuit. The bass is finished in a interesting red colour which has a darker band around the edge (like a sunburst) and has a mother of pearl type scratchplate. The neck is narrow for a five string (what attracted me in the first place) and is reasonably light weight and comfortable to play. The bass comes with a Bass Centre Hiscox moulded flight case.

Again, the bass is well played though the battle scars on this one are limited to four ugly chips on the bottom edge of the bass (probably from an unprotected guitar stand).

Pricewise, as is with the Hipshots and J-Retro, I’m looking for £600 (including the original Fender tuners and active circuit). In original config, I’m looking for £450.

Delivery will be extra, but I will be prepared to meet up / deliver up to 100 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne free of charge.

Any questions, please ask.

I had one of these for 2 years; same colour, though mine had an EBS pre in it.. Really nice bass!

Good luck with the sale..

Cheers,

They are really nice basses, and since advertising it on here I've been playing it again, maybe I should ignore the GAS god's and keep her?

Hi Dead,

I'm not sure what wood the body is made from, possibly Alder?

The original tuners are exactly the same as the Hipshots, except they are chrome plated and weight slightly more!

Cheers

This is familiar... In fact not only is the bass familiar but also the white curtain and floor

Bump for a fondly remembered bass sold to JPJ quite a few years ago now. I'm almost tempted to get it back but for my strange even number of strings predilection!

Is is possible to buy it with the new config? If so Ill have it.

[JPJ]

Still here and still for sale. Not really interested in trades anymore as new bass inbound needs paying for. Hit me with those offers folks!

dont usually like red bodies but that's really nice and, as I'm looking to upgrade my OLP MM 5 string to an active jazz model, I'm very tempted.
PM'd you.
