[b]Fender Jazz DLX five string [/b][b]USA made [/b][b]- One and only price drop!!!
£650 with moulded case - £600 without case.[/b]
open to offers and partial trades with cash my way -
Squier VM 5 string jazz for example.
try me!

As part of the "one in - one out" deal and to fund the arrived - plus have car repair to pay for now.
here is my[b] USA Fender Jazz DLX five string[/b] for sale - though if it doesnt go this time at this price then it's going in it's case and being kept.

Awesome supercharged Jazz with the John Suhr designed pickups and pre amp.
Love the sound, though fingerboard is a bit wide for me.

[b]1996 50th Anniversary DLX [/b]model finished in crimson burst - with mother of pearl type scratchplate.
reasonably light weight with a smaller than usual jazz body and comfortable to play.
the bass is well played and has a few scars - mainly four chips on the bottom edge of the body.
small ding on the back of the neck and the top horn straplock has been glued in - without cleaning off the residue properly.
small surface crack next to B string tuner - previous owner had hipshot tuners on that, when original tuners replaced, may have caused it. perfectly stable though.

N61****** (N6 = 1996)
Your guitar was made at the
Corona Plant (Fender), USA
in the Year(s): 1996 - 1997

DLX jazzes 1995-98 had electronics and pups designed by John Suhr who worked for Fender R&D at that time,
one reason to consider this particular run of Deluxe Fender Basses to be one of the companies best.
bass is strung through the body and bridge.
straplocks fitted.

the first USA made ‘Active’ Jazz Bass by Fender.
It’s a 9volt, three-band EQ with stacked knobs..
New Design Jazz Bass V Humbucking Pickups
the fact that this was Fender’s first production ‘Active’ bass and the array of features may make it a future collectable.

The body is alder augmented with gorgeous ash veneer on both the top and the back - really light and slightly smaller than a standard Jazz body.
weighs approximately 9ibs 2ozs or 4.2kg on my bathroom scales.
Pau Ferro fingerboard, tighter and denser than rosewood but avoids the extra bite of maple.
The neck itself is maple with graphite reinforcement.
The Five String Deluxe is stock with Gotoh tuners.

All USA Fenders made during 1996 bore a Fender 50th anniversary emblem on the back of the headstock.

The bass comes withor without a moulded flight case- see options.

any questions, get in touch.

located in south east Lancashire.
can deliver within 50 miles for fuel costs or meet within same distance - or can collect and try out.
have the moulded case or a heavy duty case and cardboard box so could, theoretically, post.
would have to have cleared payment first and speak to buyer about shipping options and costs.

I had one of these about 5 years ago..

Because i was using my Roscoe Beck 5 so much at the time, i ended up trading it for a Sandberg 5 string, but it was a really good bass.

It played really well and sounded good for almost any style of music - a proper workhorse of a bass!

Good price; well worth a punt so have a BUMP on me.

Hmmm this looks familiar.......

Bump for a great bass, as the OP states, the active circuit and the 'big pole piece' pickups give this bass a great range of tones, and it's probably one of the easiest 5 stringers to play as its quite a narrow neck.

Bump from a former registered keeper :-)
