A limited edition Custom Shop Jazz Bass. Only 10 delivered in Europe. Custom Color: Sonic Blue (pale). Matching head stock and with rolled off frets (like in the old days) which improves its playability drastically! Basically I don't like Relic finishes but this one is made quite tasty. Even the pickguard and the Hardware is aged and could be mistaken as vintage parts.

The board is of old growth DN which is not offered by Fender anymore !

The Pale Sonic Blue is faded towards white/green. Very nice as well. Look at the difference to the unfaded areas under the pickguard.

Fantastic sound and playability ! VERY close to the pre-CBS originals. I owned a few Custom Shop Fenders and no one was on par with this one - not even close.

Condition is - despite the fact that it is relic'ed - like new. Bass comes with original MINT Tolex case with all case candy and COA - like it would be delivered from factory.

Asking price is [s]2.300 GBP / 2.700 EUR[/s] [color=#ff0000][b]2.200 GBP / 2.600 EUR[/b][/color] or next offer plus shipping. No trades please.

Gorgeous bass Rainer! What was the production year? Cheers!!

[mrbassman_de]

Thanks Denis. It is from 2010 (I guess). The colour is less greenish than shown in the pics - more light blue-green - hard to catch with a camera...

Fantastic bump

Nice, the kind of relic I'd go for. A 50 year old bass that has been lovingly looked after, not dragged along behind a car.

Lovely - please can you explain the "DN" re the fingerboard?

[KiOgon]

Thanks Clarky

Possibly the best playing bass I've ever owned!

Thanks again but I would highly appreciate not to start a longer discussion about DN in my ad... thanks.

If you had explained it in the first place I wouldn't have had to ask, the friendly nature of this forum is such that a lot of members like to share information. I can't see any harm in that.
