Farida FJB-6 £230

[AnalogBomb]

Here for sale/trade is my Farida Jazz Bass with upgraded Babicz bridge. Great bass, with punchy, smooth tone. Loaded with Farida Jazz pickups. Immaculate condition. Based in Leeds and can deliver/post at buyers expense. Trade wise, I’m after a precision, either a CV or VM Squier or a Mexican Fender, to which I can add a bit of cash for the right bass.

I think these jazz basses are superb. and the pickups are hot.

Believe me...these are special basses. My two FJB’s (the only 2 of their kind) are the basses I will never ever sell.

I worked for their UK distributor up until 5 years ago, and these were prototypes for a never seen fretless version.

somewhere out there is a white FJB-6 with a glossy fretless neck from one of these and Seymour Duncan 1/4lb jazz pickups.

For this money, you won’t find better.

And you’re after a CV P? 

This factory made/makes the Classic Vibes and the Modern Player Fenders.

”Grand Reward and Education” - Farida is their own brand.

That’s why the FJB’s have the “Jaguar” lower horn - Fender didn’t want them making exact Jazz basses for anyone but FMIC.

I specified them as prototypes and they made them...the ramp never happened

sorry to hijack your sale AnologBomb. but they look killer Andrew.!!!!!!!!!!. The OP's bass is the one I picked out, over a USA Jazz in Dawsons, it just sounded better to me. Super hot aggressive pickups.

This may give a potential buyer an idea of how good these are...best of luck with the sale. If it was the Candy apple red version I’d be in trouble

I have one of those I am not playing and will be advertising later this year.  Shall I give you advance warning so you can look away when the time comes?

These really are. Great basses I've got the p bass version and by far my fave bass ever and I've had  a lot of famous models and this will blow them out of the water, I'm really tempted, Glwts
