SOLD elsewhere Fender American Active Jazz Bass Deluxe, Sunburst, Rosewood £800

[V2factoryman]

Nice 1998 Fender American Active 4 string Jazz Bass, serial number DN811457. Price reduction from original listing now down to £740, I have tried to reduce the price in the heading but even though I'm editing it correctly it's not saving the change aaaaaarrrggghh!.

Used as a studio bass for the last five years. In good condition with a few minor signs of use but nothing visible to the naked eye at six feet.See photos for close ups of small abrasions in the usual place on the lower body heel. Comes with original Fender hard case which at some time before it was acquired had received a knock which has damaged the outer shell, please see additional pics for details. It means it needs a slight manipulation to close but the clasps are good and the case provides the requisite protection. Alternatively you may wish to acquire a replacement case. I hadn't clocked this, hence price reduction.

Neck is straight and action good, the wood has mellowed to a nice honey colour, see additional pics comparing it with my American Standard Precision. Plenty of life in the frets and action is nice.

Also listed elsewhere so may disappear without any traffic on here.

I live in Stockport, if you want to try it out you're welcome.

Any questions fire away.

Cheers, Andy.

Hi folks, had 243 views but no nibbles? Is it too dear for what it is? One sold for the same price a couple of weeks ago, hence where it was pitched, but if it needs adjusting then it needs adjusting. Or is it because I'm new and have no feedback ? Let me know what you think, I convinced him not to put it on Feebay because I thought it would go like a shot on here and it really is a truly great bass, I wouldn't prejudice my reputation with a dog. Cheers, Andy.

I think its more a case of very few buyers anywhere right now. Its a lovely bass and looks in superb nick. A year ago it would have gone almost instantly. Now there is a nice Japanese Jazz for sale for £375 with no takers and a US Precision for under £600, again no takers. I'm afraid patience is needed (I now I'm selling a fantatstic and quite rare acoustic bass and have no bites at all)

Hey, thanks for that, thought I'd got something horribly wrong ....just have to wait and see. There seemed to be quite a rush in sales in February but it does seem to have slowed down considerably, don't know if the mods keep any stats? I'll be putting more detailed pics up over weekend. It's a great bass and I'd much prefer it to go to someone on this site rather than let it loose, it's such a nice community and we should keep the best weapons for ourselves!

Bump for new pics and price reduction!

Bump for last chance before this is withdrawn from sale!
