*New (lower) price £1250*

Hi all, I have decided to go short scale (apart from my upright bass). As a result I am putting up for sale my stunning surf (or is it seafoam) green '62 reissue Jazz from the Corona factory in 1986. I have only ever seen one more like it for sale in Europe (at an eye-watering €3750 in GuitarPoint in Germany https://shop.guitarpoint.de/en/search?page=search&keywords=1986+jazz ). Mine weighs about 9.25 pounds, has a fair few dings and scrapes (see pics) but plays very well and is currently wearing D'Adddario black nylon flats (for a Herbie Flowers type vibe). Comes with what I assume to be the original case but there is no case candy and I should highlight that the chrome covers are missing. 

£1250 collected from London (SW, near Hammersmith).

*No trades thanks, sale only*

Surf or seafoam?

The 1987 catalogue says Surf Green, and they are a lot cheaper then yours 🤣

This is a killer period for reissues judging by the ones I’ve played and people I know that like them. I wish I still had my 1987 reissue 57 Strat or that I’d bought a Surf Green one from the same year that came up years back. Shame I’m not in the market for a new bass.

What does that 400watt all valve 8x10 stack sound like when fully pumped up?

Its not my rig, its in Brixton Hill rehearsal studios (great place by the way, no beat-up Ashdown MAG combos ....). However, the rig sounds the absolute dogs danglies if you like a thick meaty, old school bass-heavy sound. Which I do. If you want modern hi-mid, articulacy its pants!

Yes great sounding basses.

The main ways they differ from the earlier fullerton ones is they tend to have more curvy contours, the contoured body transfer is below the G tuner and they tend to be a bit lighter.

In response to a lowball offer, I am not going below £1400 as I have already paid off most of the cost of my '71 Mustang and as I have a couple of  basses I would sell ahead of this one if pushed (MIJ Mustang, Gretsch Broadkaster).

Plus, to be blunt, a bog standard American Professional Jazz is £1469 new at Andertons and this is a rare-as-heck 33 y/o beauty!
