Scooby Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Reluctantly I've arrived at the conclusion that - no matter how much I try - a Fender Jazz is just a little too big and heavy for me. I bought this very recently hoping that this would be my go to bass. It sounds lovely and has all the typical sounds associated with the Fender Jazz. The maple neck and maple fingerboard are so smooth and slim making playing a dream. The gloss black body is one of the lighter Fender basses that I've tried with a sleek and stylish look and feel to it. This has the more expensive hardware - high mass bridge [size=3]([font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][color=#000000]Strings-Thru-Body or Topload)[/color][/size][/font][/size], top quality Fender tuners, pups etc. This black gloss Fender Jazz comes with s superb Fender embossed SKB flight case, manuals, tools, strap, cable and documents. I took off the white scratch plate, tried a black scratch plate and then decided that the grey pearl looked the best! I will include all three scratchplates in the sale. The bass has brand new D'Addario strings fitted. Edited January 28, 2013 by Scooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Just to confirm, the cash price is a firm £825 and a trade value would be closer to the £1100 paid for the bass recently. Sadly, this bass just isn't for me Trade options would include Zon, Pedulla, Warwick Thumb, Shuker or tempt me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am saying is that there are some Fender American basses that, because they are built to a budget, use hardware that reflects that budget! Quite simply, you pay more you get more. This Jazz has the high mass bridge, Fender quality tuners, pups etc. The budget American basses, although great value for money, do use hardware that reflects the budget. Hope that clarifies things a little 'Hutton' thanks, I have now added the pic link Edited January 19, 2013 by Scooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
