Chimike Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Next to go is my Fender, made in Japan, 5 stringer. I imported this directly from Japan , about 4 years ago, have gigged it only twice, so it's in nearly as new condition. Serial no is H0033X, so I believe it was built late 80's. Was unplayed, when I bought it . This is not the , normal , traditional Fender bass, much more modern sounding. Has 22 frets, active eq, fender USA hot rod pickups, rosewood (or similar ) fingerboard, cast bridge, brass nut, lightweight tuners, was made for the Japanese home market, so has narrower string spacing than the USA 5 string, and also, is very light. Fabulous looking bass, plays great, just had it set up by mr B, but I want to use my Giffin 5 string , so ..............Only £595 collected from west Sussex. Now, I won't use carriers, but I do travel with my work, from time to time, so I am willing to help with delivery, where possible, for the cost of the diesel [attachment=59779:DSCF0531.JPG] [attachment=59778:DSCF0532.JPG] [attachment=59777:DSCF0535.JPG] [attachment=59776:DSCF0536.JPG] [attachment=59775:DSCF0537.JPG] [attachment=59774:DSCF0538.JPG] [attachment=59773:DSCF0539.JPG] [attachment=59772:DSCF0540.JPG] [attachment=59770:DSCF0543.JPG] [attachment=59771:DSCF0542.JPG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finish, btw, is satin, and the neck has that lovely, smooth, non-sticky ( sorry to be soooo technical ) finish you now get on high end basses. I'm actually trying really hard to cull my collection, as so many of my basses just don't get played ! However, I do have a weakness, so you could ask.

[i](asks the man who said he isn't going to buy another 5 string)[/i][/quote] Hi, Sorry it takes me so long to reply, but I've measured the string spacing, and can't decide if it's 16 mm or 17 mm, at the Bridge. So the answer is .........16 or 17 mm....or thereabouts. Hope that helps. I used to think the spacing was quite close, but I've been playing my Aria sb1000 a lot recently, and suddenly the Fender dosn't seem close.
