MungoBass

Replied.

I had a Jazz from the same year and by the looks of it, the same colour. I’m think mine was called ‘Chrome Silver’. Great Bass! GLWTS.

That is very nice! You have a PM.

Unused vintage La Bella strings. They appear to be ideal for a short scale 2 on each side headstock bass. The E and G strings measure 93cms from ball to the start of the silk and the A and D 96.5 cms. I honestly have no idea how old they are but they have been stored away and obviously never put on a bass. A quick look at the La Bella history shows they were in Long Island City from 1940 to the late 1970s. Hopefully someone one will be able to use them or perhaps they would even made some great case candy. I can post these at extra cost or feel free to collect in person.

Price drop to £645. I’m reluctantly putting this up for sale after another recent Jazz purchase. You don’t often see these earlier Ash / Maple / Black block versions, most Maple boards seem to be with a Sunburst body with Black dots and no binding. The bass is in excellent overall condition with one very minor blemish as shown on the upper side near the horn and four tiny indents on the face of the upper horn. The pickguard does have pick marks and swirls but could of course easily be replaced if required. The strings are roundwounds and whilst I really like their well used dullness, others may want more zing! The action is pretty low and the frets are also in great shape. Controls are volume / pickup pan / stacked bass & treble / mini-switch for active passive mode and finally, mid for the two noiseless Jazz pickups. The fingerboard radius is a modern 12 inches and the heavy duty bridge is a great improvement over the typical BBOT! I would prefer a straight sale otherwise the wife will pull my bits off......again! Shipping can be arranged if required but pick up in person is most welcome.

Very, very nice. I’m thinking of using the first picture as my screen-saver! That Precision is something else too. GLWTS.

The grain, flame and finish on the neck is very impressive! The rest of the bass is rather nice too! What is the weight?

Hi. I prefer to keep the full number covered as sadly there appear to be too many Fender fakes available on a certain on line auction site, meaning some unsuspecting buyers end up paying decent money for a budget Bass with a ‘proper’ Fender serial number. People can use these genuine numbers and apply them to a cheap bass meaning a buyer thinks they are getting the real deal. It is very easy to pick up a sunburst Jazz copy with a rosewood fingerboard! I’m not for one minute saying BCers would do this! I can assure you this is a genuine American Fender made in April 1995 and am happy to provide you with the number if you would like to check yourself. I hope this helps?

Hi. My daughter lives in Cheltenham, so if we could tie in collection on a day when I am there, it will save your daughter around 50 miles on the round trip! Should mean less brownie points to use up too! Failing that, shipping will be £16.50. Please feel free to PM me if you would like more information or to arrange a collection. Regards. David

Hi. Yes it is still available.
