SOLD £750

[P-T-P]

Picked this up in a deal as I'd not actually played an American Standard Jazz in a long time and because I'm already mightily impressed by my Adam Clayton signature jazz, the intention being to keep one an sell the other.

I've long been a fan of Laklands and have probably even said that their Skyline jazzes are as good/better than Fender's originals. No more. I've read people mentioning the vast improvements in the US Fenders over the last 5 years or so and I can only nod in agreement as this is a beautifully made instrument (as is my AC jazz). The fit and finish are superb and the rolled fingerboard edges and satin neck lacquer make for excellent play-ability, And of course, it makes all the right noises too - warm and punchy to bark and bite. Rewards fingerstyle with oodles of tone, especially if you dig in a bit over the bridge pick-up and it has great slap tone too.

There's a couple of minor dings as seen in the pics but nothing disastrous!

It comes with the very impressive Fender/SKB case, truss rod tool with cloth and strap.

Here's the full spec from Fender's site at the time... [url="https://web.archive.org/web/20110604205020/http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0190660700"]https://web.archive....rtno=0190660700[/url]

In the end, I think the AC jazz is a bit prettier and that swings it for me so looking to sell this.

Looking for £750 and much prefer a sale than trade, though could be tempted by a US Vintage Hot Rod Jazz (the one with PJ pick-ups) or possibly a post 2012 American Standard Jazz in 3TSB, Mystic Red, Candy Cola or Charcoal Frost finish.

Ah I wish I had the money to buy this! I've always loved the OW/RW combination - GLWTS.

It's a great looking bass but plays even better.
