*SOLD* Fender Squier JV series Jazz bass 1982-83 £675

[geoff90guitar]

All original with exception of one control knob which is a vintage part. The condition is sound but it has small dinks and donks all over the place because you're forever picking it up - and it gets played! Remember, an OLD mint guitar is generally a poor player and is put back under the bed.
Part of the famed "JV" (Japanese Vintage) series of instruments produced from 1982-83 by the then newly formed Fender Japan, this Jazz Bass boasts the same USA-made pickups that were also used in the Fullerton factory Fender reissues. A bass that will satisfy collectors and serious players alike.
Hasn’t been messed about with in any way. I’ve only needed to turn the truss rod just a tadge giving it a great action. If anyone wants me to take off the neck I reluctantly would for the pencil date on the neck heel but I can guarantee it’s going to be between Dec 82 and Jan 83. http://www.21frets.com/jvreg/JV_Registry.htm
Slender 1 1/2" nut width. Thick slab rosewood fretboard with original slender vintage-style frets which are still in good shape. The bass plays cleanly. Has the original reverse geared chrome tuning machines.
There’s a strong fundamental attack and acoustic resonance to this bass, and it's an instrument capable of great versatility, great feel, great warm balanced tone across the strings throughout.
Weighing in at 4.1kg , 0.1kg above all JV PRECISIONS I have owned. New set of 45-105 Roto strings fitted.

Welcome to try out here in Bilston West Mids before you buy - you wouldn't be disappointed - it wants to play itself
Good thick quality soft carry case included - you won’t scratch your car.
