Recommended Posts

I'm selling my japan 62 reissue jazz. It's a 93/94

Has been played by PantherAirsoft, Simon1964, flateric amongst others who all said nice things about it. Niceguyhomer tried it recently so may be able to give you an objective view

Its got all its original parts except the tuners which a previous owner upgraded for reverse open backs which would have been fitted on a real 62. Has the copper strip for earthing, the copper plates under the pickups, the neck has aged nicely to a deep honey colour. It has all its stickers for serial number, "made in japan" etc I've extensively copper shielded it. Its very quiet in terms of noise but sounds like a jazz bass should

It weighs 4.5kg which is 9.9lbs

Changes:[list]
[*]The tuners as stated above, by a previous owner
[/list]

[b]I will also include the quality fender gig bag it came with[/b]

Quite the bargain for the price I'm asking

NO TRADES PLEASE (unless you're local and have a nice sunburst highway one p bass with (preferably) maple neck, or ditto jap "70s" p bass )

Cosmetic issues:
its an old bass. Someone before me dropped it on its lower rear edge and then painted over it. Its not noticeable more than 3ft away (see pictures). I showed this to niceguyhomer who said it was nothing to be concerned about

Apart from that, I cant think of anything wrong given its age. Very minor dinks here and there as you'd expect on a 20 plus year old instrument.

I'd much [b]prefer [/b]to meet/arange collection/deliver locally rather than trust a courier. I'm in the east midlands near J28 M1. If shipped its about £20 or so by 24 hour signed-for courier, fully insured, which I will do at cost. It will be shipped with the neck taken off (and packaged separately) in a big box as I dont have a hard case.

Neck is arrow straight and has new strings 40 - 100 - it came set up for these and I've never altered it - there was no need.

I've checked the neck relief and its a textbook (see fender website) 0.30mm at the eighth fret (with first and last frets held), and there is clearly travel left in the truss rod. The action is down to a textbook 2.8mm on low E and 2.4mm on high G (measured at the 17th). Action at the 12th is around 2mm according to my ruler

I'm thinking of selling my japan 62 reissue jazz.Will post pics if there is some interest.

A price and some pics will drum up interest.

I'm always interested in any Jazz Basses - but without pics and a price it's difficult to raise the anima.

If this is a sale you must provide a sale price - forum rules.
[/quote]
Yes I know that is true for a sale but there are other feeler posts on here that do not state one.
Edit: the post I saw has been edited so I will conform. If I was to sell this I'd be looking for around £400 collected / meet . Someone pls inform me if this is wildly off-beam ?

You should really PM the guy with your offers rather than on the public forum. Click on his avatar or his name and look for the 'send me a message' link. This way you can communicate with the seller privately.

I think we all know what he'll say though.

Truckstop

hehe worth a try ;)
[/quote] I'll sell you my fender japan neck and attatched body (alder) for that. :)

anyway back OT, and about the OP's bass.... it looks great - love the really dark fretboard. Very good price at £400 too! :)

In this case, I think he is right though. Yamahabass should have read the original post as his questions are already answered there, his offer is low and should anyway be made privately.

[*]Apologies, as I might be being a bit thick here, but are the original bridge, pickups and scratch plate being offered in the package as well as the parts currently fitted to the bass in the picture?
[/list]
Cheers
