Fender CS '62 Jazz Bass Relic Very nice Custom Shop Fender Jazz in aged candy apple red relic finish. It's a lovely, well built bass. The neck feels great and allows low action. The sound is classic jazz bass. I'd say it sounds a bit warmer than my 65/66 jazz. She sounds great with either flats or rounds. She will be sold strung with Fender nps rounds. The bass is in good condition. Of course it's a relic model.. Everything functions like it should. The weight is 4kg on my kitchen scale. The original brown tolex hardcase is included, as well are the certificate, chrome covers and some other stuff. €2.750 I am located in the Netherlands. Local pickup is preferred, but I am willing to ship at buyers risk. I am also interested in trading for a 1965 or older jazz bas(max 4kg, Brazil fretboard & clay dots). Refinish or some minor parts exchange aren't a dealbreaker.

My guess is that a potential buyer decides if will be functioning as a collectors item or a player. Or both. So if someone wants to play it, weight and balance can be important. Though I'd be surprised if this bass weighed more than 3.8kg.

What a great looking bass, and a very convincing relic. A certain larger company could learn from this. Glwtt!

Edit.

Rickenbacker 4001 Azureglo Cool vintage Rick in a scarce Azureglo. The serial number dates it back to 1974. It seems that 2 tuners have been replaced, as they have less patina than the other two. Otherwise they look the same to me. The neck has had the infamous cracks which a lot of 4001s have suffered, due to incorrect truss rod adjustment. This has been repaired many years ago and stable since (though it could be finished better with a matching color lacquer). The neck is straight and allows a lovely low action. The truss rods are functional too. Otherwise the bass has a lot of cosmetic damages and lacquer checking. The playability is just great. Like said the neck is straight and allows a nice low action. The sound is like you expect from a good Rick. Weight is 4,18kg on my kitchen scale. Asking €2.750 I'm located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. I am also interested in trading for a 1965 or older jazz bas(max 4kg, Brazil fretboard & clay dots). Refinish or some minor parts exchange aren't a dealbreaker.

Last drop to €975.

Yamaha Super Bass SB800 Great vintage Yamaha Super Bass. It's made in Japan, and the serial decoder says it's made in 1977. It's a really great playing and sounding alternative to a standard Jazz Bass. The neck is quite chunky, more like a P bass. Soundwise it's s in the jazz bass family of course, though I'd say it has a little more meat in the mids than most jazzes. It has a full warm and punchy sound with both pickups active, but also does a great job on funky burping on the bridge pickup solood with the tone closed. The strings fitted are Thomastik flats. The bass is in good condition for it's age. It has its usermarks, small damages and bucklerash, but nothing major. One height adjustment screw has been replaced. All electronics and hardware work like they should. The weight is 3,96kg on my kitchen scale. Asking €850 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.
