Bassdude BE Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Hi, I've recently bought this here on BC and it is definitely the best buy i've ever made considering the sound and quality you get for the money. The bass really surprised me with it's build quality and tone & it has one of the most comfortable and easy to play jazz-necks i've ever encountered.

[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif](I'd take some pictures, but my digital camera died on me :s) [/font][/color] Here's a video of our very own "Allthumbs" reviewing the Farida (video was made before the upgrades were done!): [media]http://youtu.be/Aks3fSHA1jU[/media] She plays and sounds superb, only reason i'm letting her go is that i really need a P-bass for the heavy rock band that i joined last month. The bass comes with a spanking new Stagg gigbag and i also have a fitting box and package materials available to ensure safe shipping. [color=#008000][/color] [b]Cash price: 250£ (incl.

bagsieblue Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Looks very familiar - even the carpet looks like mine . Excellent bass - great value for money. This bass is the VERY SAME one as in the video - own a piece of Farida history. I'd be tempted to have this back had I not got the higher spec FJB20 Model - again another great bass. Love Farida's I do, both of these Farida's give my Non Export CIJ Fender Jazz with Nordstand Pups and Pre a run for their money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
