deanovw Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hi, here is my Fender, Mexico, Burgundy Mist, '60s Re-Issue Jazz Bass with matching headstock!! Made in 2002-2003 it is one of the nicest Jazz basses I have owned. Being a '60s RI it has small reverse tuners, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, alder body, mint scratch plate. Its all here. I don't want to sell it but I need to free up some cash and have a Road Worn Jazz as my main bass. It is in excellent condition throughout. There are a few tiny dings but nothing of concern. Price is £550 shipped in the UK. I am in Cornwall if you want to try before you buy. Any inspection is welcome. Comes with Fender gig bag. Any questions just ask. I will let the pics do the talking.

[/quote] I have just put both basses on the scales, (not at the same time ) Road worn = 4kg Burgundy Mist = 4.4kg (my bathroom scales are not guaranteed to be accurate) It feels exactly the same as the Road Worn neck wise. You can notice the weight difference if you go from one to the other. Its not a heavy bass though. Tone? there is nothing in it, maaaybe less low mids but that might be the strings.

bubinga5 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 i would imagine a bass like this would have USA pickups, what do MIMs usually use.... custom color, matching headstock, bigger tuner base.. its almost like a non export CIJ 62.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfan Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Now that is very nice... Was it for sale here last year? Love that colour.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think this was bought from Rumble last year, who bought it from Andy Travis the year before. Despite going back through both threads cant quite fathom out what the pups are, so sorry, tried but I was no help . I keep wanting to buy this every time it comes up, but having just got a Rick copy, timing has buggered me. Good luck, Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick's Fine '52 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 That's stunning, the [i]only[/i] custom colour I like, I'm actually in the process of negotiating a real one, from '65, not with matching head though! Love it, good luck with the sale!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Remember when Andy had it, it was sporting a brown tortie plate and looked even more phenominal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
