Hello guys!

I've got a Fender Jazz USA Std, in Olympic White / tort pick guard.

Its 100% mint! brand new!, its so new in fact it still has the original fender strings on!

Come with Case/case candy etc etc.

There is not a mark on it at all trust me

I'm looking for a Fender P bass as a trade, obviously if its not in the same condition, age etc then a cash adjustment with have to also be added!,

(or maybe a Roadworn jazz, i fancy one of those!)

I'll get photos up later on if anyone is interested!

Thank-you!

Thanks quite expensive!

Wow!
I wish I still had it!
Always wanted a sunburst USA STD

Sorry the jag went ages ago.

Had hardly any interest. I I still had the jag I would have bit your arm off.

I'm guessing so! The date adds up.

Anyway Its on hold.

Been busy with uni UCAS Uni etc etc!!!

[quote name='Johnston' post='1335421' date='Aug 10 2011, 06:21 PM']Look at it this way. With things like Sportscars and helicopters it's fairly normal for someone to put in an early order before they even have went into production then sell it. Usually because someone comes along and is willing to pay a premium not to go onto the back of a waiting list. I guess Custom shop stuff would run a similar theory.

I guess works a bit like.

It costs £2000 but has a 12 month waiting list. Some nice Bob says I'll have one and orders a fairly basic run of the line down the middle spec. When he gets it he advertises it.

He gets it meanwhile Paul says I want a Custom shop. Oh sh*t I can't be arsed waiting a year. Oh hold on there's one there I can have now at only £2500

Plus you have the advantage of paying when the exchange rate is in your favour and selling when it doesn't work out so good so it looks a better deal to a prospective buyer. .[/quote]


Agh right I get it now!
Thanks for the info

just a bit odd, thats all.

surely theres no reason why someone would get fender to make them a custom bass and then sell it before playing it.

i mean it would have costed loads!

what are grey imports?

as well as that, ive never known anyone wanted to buy a bass! ahaha (on bass chat)

Thanks man! as its such a good example, ide say in the region of £880. just so i can get a sterling or stingray!
but i can move around on the price! but as you can understand i dont want to pay out any of my own money to trade it for a sterling/stingray

Oh yeah I suppose it is! Why is the bridge so far forward though?!
Bit of an uninspiring eBay ad for such an expensive bass.
Why would someone sell a new custom guitar though?

[quote name='mikegatward' post='1334667' date='Aug 10 2011, 10:46 AM']I like !

You don't seem to have listed a straight sale price.

I do have a top condition 2EQ stingray in honeyburst with rosewood neck if that was of interest[/quote]

Sounds buatifull!

[quote name='cocco' post='1334277' date='Aug 9 2011, 10:02 PM']This used to be mine, it's a blinder of a bass! I shifted it for the same reason it's being shifted now. Its a killer bass, if you like that sort of thing [/quote]


Playing it is awesome fun too! its the best bass i have tbh, but that dont really mean anything when you prefer the look of a stingray haha
i did my grade 8 on it!!!! and got 19/20 on all three pieces!
so it have good luck in the basswood grain!

what a c***

The bridge is about 3 inches to far forward. looks dodgy! hope no one bids!

[quote name='jackduran' post='1334226' date='Aug 9 2011, 09:24 PM']Beautiful bass. Never thought much of Bongos' before but this one is lovely.[/quote]

The pictures say it all....

•No fret ware
•Equipped with fresh Rotosound swings
•Sapphire Black (metallic flawless finish)
•Beautiful leather case 30th anniversary!
•wonderful low action! (see pictures)
•Properly set up! the nut is cut correctly too...
•limitless tonal options from 18v pre
•Actually not that ugly for a bongo...
•I look after my gear and take pride in owning such expensive a lovely instruments to its very well looked after.

WHY AM I MOVING IT ON?!
I really miss the stingray... and always wanted a sterling! so i trade with a similar condition of the two would be wonderful.
if yours is a good runner, but a little tatty (and or no OHC) i would expect cash my way.

Okay... now for the pictures.

Oh and if your involved in the looting/rioting your not allowed it.
