nige1968 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Christmas isn't just about other people. There's more to life than treating your loved ones to yet more needless tat. This holiday season, why not surprise and delight the bass player in your life -- you. It turns out I've accumulated way too many Fender Jazz Basses, so in the festive spirit of goodwill to all people I'm selling some. [size=6]Fender Classic 1960s Jazz Bass (Mexico), OW[/size] [b][size=5]£450 plus postage[/size][/b] [attachment=206200:IMG_0200.jpg] More pics: [url="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ihfhz4h4ukkpo2e/AACEl8ysPT8zw6_O1WJDj7IPa?dl=0"]https://www.dropbox....O1WJDj7IPa?dl=0[/url] This is a very shiny and well constructed 1960s-look bass with the usual period features. Beautiful Olympic White with a dark rosewood board and tort guard. Built 2011 I believe, the only non-original parts are the pickups, which again are EMG JVs (gotta love the vintage growly noise they make). It has a ridiculously smooth low action after a proper fret-stoning. The only blemish is on the rear, where the neck screws have gone in a bit too far, leaving the backplate a little bent and the surrounding finish cracked. You can see this in the pics. Otherwise this is a shiny, fast Jazz at what I believe to be a bargainacious price. [s][size=6]Fender Japan JB66B FSR 2013 ('1966 reissue') in Vintage White[/size][/s] [b][size=5]Sold[/size][/b] [attachment=206142:full-length-view-flat copy.jpg] [s]More pics: [url="http://s326.photobucket.com/user/dgreene101/slideshow/"]http://s326.photobuc...e101/slideshow/[/url] Well tasty block-and-bound neck and colour-matched headstock. Sounds delicious with a nice woody tone. Slightly deeper neck for all you vintage profile freaks. Immaculate and 100% original (apart from the strings). Cost a grand new and no longer made. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/263125-withdrawn-fender-japan-66-jazz-bass-2013-limited-ed-mint-ow-matching-headstock/"]More details here[/url][/s] [s][size=6]Fender Antigua FSR 2012 Jazz Bass (1970s reissue)[/size][/s] [b][size=5]Sold[/size][/b] [s][attachment=206199:IMG_0190.jpg][/s] More pics: [url="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g46b21xb19mjpjl/AACvV78asGWz-4aqKA8WNfyKa?dl=0"]https://www.dropbox....qKA8WNfyKa?dl=0[/url] [s]Just to prove wrong those who reckon nothing good comes out of Fender Mexico, this is a shockingly well made and finished bass guitar. It's one of a special short run in love-or-loathe late 1970s 'Antigua' finish (smokeburst to lovers, snotburst to the other lot). Has the 1970s bridge pickup positioning, logo and 'bullet' truss rod tip. This has upgraded pups (EMG JV series, very hard to obtain these days, designed to give modern noiseless performance and reduce the harsh edges while retaining plenty of traditional Jazz Bass growl). The [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/274084-fender-mexican-jazz-bass-pickup-set/"]original pickups are still available[/url] if you want to put them back, but you don't, do you? I'll buy back the EMGs if you do. There's barely a mark on it -- you can see a light groove where a high-mass bridge was formerly fitted, otherwise a few finger marks is it.[/s] [size=6]General stuff[/size] All basses are in Hove and collection is welcome. Apologies to overseas members but I'll only post within the UK. I'm looking for cash rather than trades, though of course your offers of Foderas etc are welcome. Never say never, anyway. I'm unlikely to drop the price at any point, as I'm selling to pay off another purchase and don't particularly want to offload, even if I do have an alarming number of cheap(er) Jazz Basses. Ask me stuff, anyway. Edited December 17, 2015 by nige1968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I love the look of those Antigua basses. Alas, I'm sorted for Jazzy goodness. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprocketflup Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'm also a fan of the Antigua finish, it does seem to vary a bit though between basses, some have more of a green hue than others, Ive noticed. This one is rather nice, but sadly for me I haven't the funds for it at the mo. Have a bump on me tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige1968 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 [quote name='pancho' timestamp='1448890347' post='2918867'] haha sorry i just checked and hove is right next to brighton (im in belgium but i have friends living in brighton) so ignore that question [/quote] No worries At the moment its set very low, probably needs a winter tweak to keep things rattle-free. It's strung with 40-95s so you would probably want to set things up to your liking. These just came in a box but I'm including a padded Fender gig bag in the price. Hope it helps.
