paulie Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) This model is a [u]limited edition[/u] Lake Placid Blue. Only a small amonut of these basses were made in this colour. It really is gorgeous with the Tort scratchplate. This bass is mint except for a small mark at the bottom (see pics) Its really [u]light [/u]for a jazz and is about 9lbs THe neck is an unusually dark rosewood with the block markers. It has a great action, tight neck pocket etc. I have owned loads of Fender jazz basses and this is the nicest 75 re-issue I have ever come across, and its rare! It comes with the proper Tolex Fender case (which was never used) with all the case candy, strap, cable, pickup covers etc I have had the bass set up with a new set of elixirs (never played) It really is a gorgeous bass but I just havent been playing it Its on sale for £1100 [attachment=55488:IMG_0372.JPG] [attachment=55489:IMG_0373.JPG] [attachment=55490:IMG_0374.JPG] [attachment=55491:IMG_0375.JPG] [attachment=55492:IMG_0376.JPG] Edited August 3, 2010 by paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 This is the same as my main Jazz Bass. It took me 4 years to track one down. I paid £1080 without a Hardcase last year...so this is an ultra-fair price. These are really special versions of the 75 Jazz as they have an Alder rather than Ash Body, so have a slightly warmer sound. To my mind, i think they're more in line with the late 60's special order Jazz Basses because i've seen original 68/69's with this custom colour/Matching head/blocks and binding. I'd have this as a 'twin' unfortunately i haven't got anywhere near enough at the moment. Just as a point - do you have the original white pickguard? Great Bass.

LawrenceH Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Oh my effing sweet Lord. (Urgently checking which vital organs I could sell) This won't last long! Apologies for a side-track, but I'm refinishing a 70s RI jazz at the moment with matching headstock, and would really appreciate a close-up of the headstock without the guitar stand in the way so I can get the paint-job right around the join to the rosewood. Any chance you could oblige? No worries if not - have a bump on me anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 HI If you open the first picture and click your mouse on it, you can zoom in over the area where the neck meets the headstock Hope this helps Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I don't believe it...I literally spent a grand on ebay last night, would've loved this AND its rosewood fingerboard. Noooooooooooooooo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I spent ages looking for one of these, gave up and got a Lakland Daryll Jones. That jazz is stunning and worth every penny. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
