umcoo Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hi all, Thinning the heard of basses that aren't seeing much use! For sale is my 1992 Fender Jazz, made in Mexico. I picked this up a few months ago after seeing it abused on eBay and fancied doing it up for a project. The bass came to me in poor condition; rusty screws, nut snapped, pots rusted open, strap buttons broken, string tree was loose and not very good, a nice layer of grime all over the bass, and the strings looked and felt like they'd been on there for years. Thankfully, the truss rod worked as it should and the pickups were fine, so I set about putting some new life into this old beater. Took it apart and cleaned everything to remove the gunk. The screws were in a poor condition so ordered new, filled the old strap button holes and put in new, ordered a new Ki0gon wiring loom to replace the knackered electronics, a new Tusq nut, quick setup and new GHS Bass Boomers did the job in making this an affordable bass that sounds great. I've had a few MIM basses over the years and this one is just as good as the others. No scales, but I'd say it's average - 8/8.5 pounds? The neck is nicely worn in and feels great to play, nice sound from the pickups...not much else to say! Considering it's a 23 year old bass, it's got its fair share of scrapes. There are two cracks in the finish running from the corners of the bridge pickup towards the back of the bass. I've tried to show them in the pictures. They're only in the finish and the body wood isn't compromised, but I'm mentioning for the sake of honesty! Someone's had a go at re-drilling a string tree hole further up the neck, and there's a snapped screw in the headstock where another string tree used to be. I think the previous owner had issues with string trees! Numerous dings on the body which I have tried to photograph as well as I can. I'm in Lancaster and collection is always welcome. I'm happy to ship but you'll need to give me a few days to sort packaging. No gig bag I'm afraid but I always ship basses well so not expecting any damage in transit. Looking for [b]£300 collected, plus £25 shipping[/b] if required. Have a look at the pictures and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask Cheers!
