Looking for £700 for this.
I would prefer personal collection on this.   I'm in West Yorkshire.

It's in near mint condition, just a couple of tiny dings to the top surface of the body, and a mark on the back which is under the finish, so a factory flaw.  Finish is Shoreline Gold, but its very light, and not very gold at all.

Comes with Fender hard case, in very good condition, just a few nicks.

Possibly the most versatile Jazz bass Fender ever made.

Let me know if you want more pics.

Here's the factory spec.

Very nice! :)

I have two of these basses and they are just fantastic! Got to say that this is a great looking example of an RBV at a very good price too, so I'll be surprised if it hangs around long.

Good luck with the sale..

Bass has been provisionally sold.

I'll inform interested parties if the deal doesn't go through.

I don't want to start a bidding war, so the first person who contacted me gets first refusal.

Cor that didn't hang around long, although at that very reasonable price I'm not surprised. I didn't even have time to get the Mrs on board so I could enter the fray :) There was also one that went on Ebay yesterday in sunburst. Typical nothing for sale for ages and then 2 come along together.
