mikegatward Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) I'm selling my 1996/97 MIM Jazz. It's black bodied, rosewood neck, b/w/b scatchplate and has been upgraded with Wizard Eighty-Fours. There's also a DiMarzio clickstrap fitted which I'm happy to leave on. The body has some scratches and scuffs on the bottom under the control plate and on the upper edge. Also the neck has some dings and nicks in it.I've done my best to photo the affected areas Am asking[s] £240 [/s]£220 ono for this Jazz which has served me well. I'm out of spare cases and gigbags so would prefer local collection. Alternatively, I travel over to Manchester regularly so can meet up over there. Can now offer postage at buyers expense as I've obtained a couple of boxes recently Would consider trade plus cash your way for a MIJ Jazz or Precision if maple necked or an old Tokai Heres the piccie link - [url="http://s1126.photobucket.com/albums/l614/mikegatward/MIM%20Jazz/"]http://s1126.photobu...ard/MIM%20Jazz/[/url] Edited April 1, 2012 by mikegatward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegatward Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Still available Done some homework on Fender forums re. the black label question. [size=4][i]The black label was used by Fender Mexico for a limited time only between 1993 and 1998. It can be found exclusively on the rather short lived mexican “Traditional” series for the Precision Bass. The guitars with the black label consisted mostly of overstock american made Fender necks and bodies. The parts were shipped to Mexico for assembly with mexican made pickups and far eastern hardware and electronics. [/i][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegatward Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'll check tonight on the nut width. Not sure I have accurate scales but will have a try. I'm also in Wakefield if you want to try it out :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegatward Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Neck width at nut is 1.5" My scales aren't accurate enough to weigh it accurately but it feels lighter than my 2005 USA precision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
