Here we have a Fender Jazz Deluxe 24V. Korean made 5 string J bass.
I’ve been using this as my synth/experimental bass with a Roland GK-3B pickup attached, for use with a GR-55. The 24 frets allow to to have a much broader scope with the synths than a standard Fender. The Seymour Duncan pickups and preamp sound great and is has a push pull volume pot to switch back to passive for classic J bass sounds. It’s served me well but I’ve just upgraded, so this needs to go.
I bought this here a couple of years ago for £450. Overall condition is very good, some very light checking. Neck and body are in great shape with no knocks or dinks. I’ve added the GK pickup and that has meant putting a couple of screws in the top to mount the pickup. The GK pickup will be removed before the sale, therefore I’m looking for £400 collected from London N21 or £420 posted in the UK. No case, but I have a proper shipping carton for postage.
I would point out that this is not the lightest bass as it weighs in at 4Kg on my bathroom scales without the GK pickup attached. I bought myself a nice Mono strap and was fine on gigs. Its also got Dunlop strap lock buttons fitted
I will consider adding the GK-3b for an extra £70 as my new bass has the hex pickup built in. I’d also be perfectly happy to keep it as I can install it on another bass.
I’ll also happily trade for 4 string Fenders or Yamaha BB’s or maybe something else - surprise me!
I've added pics with and without the GK-3b for reference.
Edit 4/3/18 - keeping the GK-3b now. I would really like this bass gone. Please send offers and trades basses, pedals I’m very likely to accept.
