This used to be mine and is an excellent bass with fantastic tonal variety, and is one of the later ones with active/passive switching.  In top notch condition too - if I hadn't just bought another bass I'd have it back in a flash!

GLWTS Marshall.

Marshall just bought my Fender Jazz. Super talented bassist and lovely guy. A pleasure dealing with you!

Sold to the hugely talented Marshall.

Please close the thread.

For sale is my beautiful 2014 Fender Jazz Deluxe with the 18v active pre-amp, with toggle switch to change to passive. Controls are: volume, pick-up pan, stacked bass/treble and stacked mid-range/passive tone. Excellent range of tones available, and can do a good job of mimicking a Fender P Bass. String spacing can be varied a little via the "notching" on the bridges, and is currently c18mm. Nice low action and even tone across the fretboard.

In really, really, good condition, no dings or scratches. Some light marking on the pick-guard as you'd expect, and very, very light marking to the rear that won't come out in photos. Overall condition-wise I'd give it 9/10.

Although not pictured I have the original plush hard case which is included in the sale. Its in good condition - the locks all work and I have the key. There is a slight crack to one corner which does not affect function.

Collection preferred due to value and damage risks. I work in London so could meet up there, but otherwise I'm near Chelmsford in Essex. 

PM me if you are interested in this lovely instrument.

Lovely - string space too wide for me though. Good luck with the sale it’s gonna make someone very happy! Have a free bump 👍

Lovely. What would the weight and string spacing be on this beauty?

Beautiful bass, lovely tone and super playing. If I could justify the cost I’d be all over this!! GLWTS Roger 👍

Did you look at the back of the bass?? Very strange!! Also it weighs just over 12lbs - ouch !

Yes, Grangur, would love to see your refinishing skills applied to the blue corvette - get in the shed !! 😜

In my (humble!) opinion if it was in absolutely top condition, with the brass “JAN” I would say about £1,300/1,400.

As it is, I would think more like £1,000/1,100 or so. All very subjective of course because some people aren’t too bothered about the cosmetics!

🤔

Ooh thanks, tempting - as you say, quite significantly overpriced imo too, especially given the condition of the back, still got the original (rubbish) tedur nut etc. I’m only half an hour from Colchester!!!

What a classic!  Like the strap button position to help with the balance!

Wow - that video is simply amazing!!! Nice job!!

Just in case you didn't already miss your dirty blonde Thumb too much already, here is one being put to very good use on YouTube (If you think this is going to be just another cover, skip to 2:39 and thank me later): 

 

Great playing mate, and yes, it sounds exactly as I remember 😥although I've never been into that type of music (but can still appreciate it !!).    Hmmm wonder if I can get some inlays on the Infinity !!! ?!

Ha! Yes seated the Infinity is fine, although the side dots are almost invisible so with no fret inlays either, a bit of a nightmare in a darkened auditorium!!  

Marcoelwray - the Thumb "Dirty Blonde" Ltd Edition is 2006. I've seen them pop up very occasionally on Ebay Kleinanzeigen (which is actually where I got mine from!)..........before I sold it two years later!

Ha ha - actually, there is a lot in what you say.

As you can tell, I love a nice bit of birds-eye maple or poplar burl. This (nearly 10 years old) Infinity actually has quite a "dark" (almost sinister!) sound/tone when you get on to the E & B strings which I love and I've been doing some material for which it is perfect. However, I had to save up and sell alot of stuff to raise the cash, and no, it isn't worth the extra money over the Ltd Thumb which I should never have sold !

The other downside is the ergonomics because due to the strap positions and the 3 piece neck, you end up with a long stretch to the bottom frets, much more so than on the Thumb (as far as I can recall).

So it is really a mix of a beautiful piece of art/craftsmanship and also an instrument (in that order), and for that reason you still need another bass for the more "regular" things, so my old Fender Jazz 5 does that.

I know, I know, but I did end up with this (after selling a kidney! ).......

Talking of nice looking Warwicks, why did I sell this ?? !!!!! What an idiot !  (Pics courtesy of the Bass Direct wesbite sold items !)

Nice refinish job !

Wow - beautiful. I've always wondered why Fender don't do more basses like this!  GLWTS

Hans Peter Wilfer owner of Warwick always signs the rear of the limited edition basses 😀

Wow - always wanted one of these! Quite rare especially in 5 string. Not sure I can justify anothe bass to the Mrs though!! 😅

Yes, very nice indeed. Suspect you will need to be a bit careful with the gloss finish though!

Bet it looks awesome under stage lighting !!

You are welcome Simone - it was a pleasure dealing with you.

I sold my Phil Jones to Simone who is based in Italy, and it was a very pleasant transaction. Good communications throughout and the right funds sent ahead of despatch. Many thanks for your purchase Simone.

Kind regards

David

I must say, that is hilarious !  I literally laughed my head off 😂
