SOLD. Fender American Standard Jazz bass, 1989, original Red Label case £630

[karlfer]

22 fret, the legendary Longhorn or, erm, Boner (stop tittering boy!)
Midnight Blue (got a few tiny sparkly bits in it).

Only up for sale because 5 hours after I got it, I got the chance of an original Mk1 Hot Rod P.

Price includes meet up within 50 miles of Wigan.
Also includes replacement bridge. The original is still on but they are bizarrely wider, with string spacing of 22mm, rather than 19mm.
Many replace these, I bought the bridge to do it BUT the screws that came off the original bridge are fractionally too wide for the new bridge holes.
So I'll drill them out IF I get the time.
Superbly balanced.

For a 28 year old bass it's in great (but not immaculate) condition. Three little dints in back of neck, make no difference.
Some people love these, some hate them.
Colour has photograped lighter than it is, it's quite a dark bass.

I won't take offers I'm afraid (there's one on FEEBAY at a ridiculous £1199).
There's 28 page "Boner club" thread on Talkbass.

Well, you see, it's like this guv.

5 hours after I got this, a mate tipped me off about a Fender P/J.
Turned out it was the 1st version of the Hot Rod Precision (mk 1, kinda).
They were only made for 11 months, from July 1999, then they were changed to the Hot Rodded.

I had one of the mk 1's and stupidly sold it.
These basses are uncommon, black is the most scarce colour, maple the most scarce board.
I've only ever seen two black & maple Hot Rods before, both in the States.
I've now seen a 3rd, in my little music room.

Hence the sale of this lovely jazz, I needed the money. Quickly.

SOLD.

Same colour as my Fender Performer (to my eyes)
