Ben Jamin Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) For trade: one beauty of a Fender Deluxe Active Jazz IV - in black with red tort. pickguard, noiseless p'ups and added Badass II bridge/Dunlop strap-locks (I'll throw in the leather Fender strap too) Used cond. due to a couple of really really small knocks here and there and some buckle marks from my old rock-band days but it's really nothing much and certainly nothing that'd be noticed on stage. The Badass was fitted and custom grooved by professional luthier Mr. Lucas at [url="http://www.lucasguitars.co.uk/"]http://www.lucasguitars.co.uk/[/url] - he also set it up to play rather nicely too. The controls go: master volume, pick-up pan, bass (+/- 18db), treble (+/-18db) and mid-range (+/- 12db) The controls combined with Fender's noiseless p'ups (and they really are noiseless!) really make for a wide variety of great tones. Comes with a decent gigbag OR just keep your case of course if you deem it better. I love this bass, BUT I'd really like a 5-string, so I just thought I'd put it out there and see if I get any offers I bought this bass from: [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-deluxe-active-jazz-bass-black/15854"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-deluxe-acti...ass-black/15854[/url] (RRP at just over 850) and have spent around another 100 getting the bridge put on etc. This is the first 'proper' bass I bought and it's my pride and joy, so I'm not really sure how much I want to let it go, but hopefully someone has a nice 5-string to convince me Pictures are HERE: [url="http://s1096.photobucket.com/albums/g329/BenJaminHoare/"]http://s1096.photobucket.com/albums/g329/BenJaminHoare/[/url] Cheers!

Gust0o Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Haha, I have... but it was a wedding present from the wife. You know - the one you genuinely can never let go of! There were some a few DJ4s on here lately, must be a half-dozen pages back by now. Might be worth dropping some of the guys a PM to see if there's some interest?

Pretty cool for a wedding present Yeah I tried out for a couple of those DJ4s, but I think they all ended up with either cash or something not so Jazzy Thanks anyway! p.s. I also seem to have accidently deleted my previous post instead of editing it - sorry! Not very on the ball today it seems! :S Edited April 14, 2011 by Ben Jamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks [/quote] Hey Andy, I'm not sure exactly what date it is but I know it was built somewhere in the 00s. I think some of the Fender documentation I got with it was dated 2006 but I'm not sure. I bought it brand new in 2009 anyway. If there's an easy of finding out I'll gladly oblige! Hope this helps In terms of ££ I'm only really looking for a trade with a 5-string - I'm after the low B otherwise I'd be keeping the Jazz! Thanks!
