JPJ Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) 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.

The original tuners are exactly the same as the Hipshots, except they are chrome plated and weight slightly more! Cheers Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alemboid Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 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! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
