Owen Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Japanese made Squier J. 3 T sunburst, black scratchplate. Good nick, few dings which I will picture later. I am struggling to price this (selling on behalf of someone else). It is a Japanese J without the magic big "F" on the headstock but it has the "S" which makes is an "F" really - kind of - you know what I mean. It plays nicely and does all a J should. I am not sure about the age so will get onto that this evening. I will say £290. I guess the market will decide. It comes with strap and gig bag.

Owen Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 I am taking views on pricing on this. My suspicion is that I have aimed high, but then it is a Japanese Squier. I just don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashwood1985 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hi Pal, Judging by your serial number that's a 93-94. There aren't many of these that come up so it's a steal for anyone looking for a good jazz without spending a £600+ tag. I've got an oly white one from 92-93. My first bass. And a superb bass really. I don't know about other people who have known these hands on, but if yours plays anything like mine then I'd say it is undervalued at this price as opposed to the other way round. I know I wouldn't sell mine for £290, but then it is sentimental as well. All the best with the sale mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I have a Silver Squier Jazz bass which is a P serial number 93/94 that looks just like yours. I've owned a Geddy Lee and a 62 reissue, both MIJ, which have now been sold but I have kept hold of my Silver Squier. The pickups on these basses sound so much deeper and punchier than your normal Jazz and no other jazz bass I've owned or played sounds the same. I've done a bit of research and found that they were only made between 1992 and 1994 and were seen as a superior Squier at a time when most of the production had moved to Korea. What you'll notice is that the neck is somewhere between a precision and a Jazz at the nut which measures 40mm in width, rather than the normal 38mm for a Jazz bass. As far as price is concerned I bought mine for £250 plus P&P just over two years ago and someone would have to offer me a lot more than that to make me want to sell it.

mentalextra Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 In the current economic climate it is difficult to price anything accurately. Its important to be realistic and patient too . Good luck bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashwood1985 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not gonna lie: if this was a P bass I'd have to work something out! Alas I can't get away with owning a second jazz of the exact same model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
