Fender Jazz Bass - Big Savings at Andertons

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1444753599' post='2885638'] That's good! Has the '75 not been discontinued now? I thought it was replaced by the AVRI '74? [/quote] Quite right! This is, I believe, a FSR. The more cynical might think Fender did a FSR to clear out surplus gear -
Hmm, this or Italy vs Norway Never tried one, never fancied one. Italy Norway it is then

Cash sale still preferable and one of the chaps did ask what the "decent bit cheaper" was. In principle he was happy with the much more bargainacious price for a quick, easy sale. He is busy this week however, so nothing in stone yet. After a few let downs this year (including this bass at the weekend)anybody wanting it on hold I'm afraid you will need to consider a deposit. Was rather taken with the Spector though and we've agreed to chat further on Thursday. -

A 57 year old bloke. False advertising and all that Now, if it said "The Shagged Out".......... -
I took a Shuker as part ex against an unmentionable. The Shuker is now up for sale. Great neck, stunning fretboard, sounds superb, little bit heavy at 9lb 10 oz for my aging shoulder. The more I play it, the more I'm tempted to keep it. It has real road worn, as in it looks like it's been dragged the length of the M6, on a tow rope, behind a Tranny. However, it's a great bass which to me would sound fab in the 1 hour sets I do with Troyen. So, I'm thinking remove the decal on the front (just "The Shaggster" bit), ask Jon Shuker to strip/re-fin light Burgundy Mist, with gold anodised plate. The decal has those very faint lines round it, so it seems to be a transfer on top of the lacquer. Any ideas on how to SAFELY remove gratefully accepted, cheers as ever, Karl.

Oh dear. Well Tim, the Shaggy who had this bass commissioned through Jon, tells me the following. Rear, caused by belt buckle. Top, caused by a copper wrist band. Dropped several times. Now, Shaggy is the bassist in Straighten Out, a top Stranglers tribute. Apparently some gigs get "a bit lively" He also plays with some other bands, so it's seen a lot of action. He originally sold it to fork out £1400 for a vintage valve amp. We had actually arranged a trade whereby I got an almost immaculate '77 P, he got this back plus a few hundred quid. Then his son found out and was a tad upset. Mainly because his son and girlfriend bought Shaggy the P for his 50th birthday So Shaggy had to back out, possibly to protect his danglies -
As title, very road worn. Great sound, plays very well. Was sold but buyer backed out. Thankfully the day BEFORE I did a 180 mile round trip to deliver it. Will provide a tatty but usable case. £30 UK mainland insured courier. Happy to talk trades. Feedback available. The Shuker JJ Burnell model is very similar and costs £1950 new. Many consider Jon to be one of England's finest luthiers. This bass is very well made from super quality materials. Despite the body finish showing it has been continually gigged, the neck and board are pretty much as new. Just LOOK at that fretboard! Price slightly negotiable if you make it collection or meet up within 50 miles of Wigan. 34” scale 20 frets maple neck birdseye maple fingerboard two way truss rod carbon fibre reinforcement brass nut Gotoh GB2 tuners Jumbo stainless steel fret wire black 6mm and 2mm position dots satin neck lacquer 2 piece white ash body - P bass shape. polyester basecoat black polyurethane gloss topcoat black/white phenolic scratch plate chrome hardware SD Basslines pup Gotoh bridge 9lb 10 oz. As I am much more jazz type orientated (although I do like P's), some examples of possible trades; Fender Mex road worn 60's series jazz, plus £100 TO me Bongo in immaculate condition, straight trade American Vintage 64 Jazz RI plus £200 FROM me. Cheers, Karl.
