Beedster Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) There I was, quite happy with my current basses, one nice Precision, one nice Jazz and a rather sexy little Shergold, hadn't needed to buy or sell a bass for months..... Things chamge don't they, need to raise some cash to sort out my Modulus Flea situation, so.... Fender USA Jazz 1999 Corona Series. Very nice retro Olympic white. The only Jazz Bass I've ever really liked. Funky as hell and growls like the best. No issues apart from drilled holes for ashtrays which are not original. Pickguard IS original before anyone asks. Currently fitted with BADASS II but will sell cheaper with original bridge. Neck ashtray included. £400 with original bridge £425 with BADASS £450 with original bridge (no BADASS) and both ashtrays (see below) Ashtrays are not screwed on at present which expains why they look a bit poorly placed in pics. Although collection or meet is prefered, I will ship this bass in a hard case for £30 and at buyer's expense and risk.

[u]SOLD PENDING PAYMENT [/u]More refins that I've had basses. Cherry red, white, natural and blue paint at various sites on this baby. Currently varnished with a dark natural finish, not professional but for £175 who cares. Mojo city, a neck that makes Precisions and 'rays look/feel quite feeble but VERY fast. Great slap tones but not a bad approximation of a true 70's Precision sound either. Pots/switch need attention. Odd speckles of blue, red and white paint to be seen. Something paintlike on the back of the neck below 10-12th frets but doesn't effect playing. THIS IS NOT A BOUTIQUE BASS! Great gigging instrument though. I may hold back on selling this if my money situation improves 'cos I love it to death. No case, collection or meet preferred. Oh, and when you play live with this baby, people mistake it for a Wal..... [attachment=1439:AUT_7255.JPG][attachment=1440:AUT_7259.JPG][attachment=1438:AUT 7254.JPG] Fender reissue reverse tuners. Bought from Steve (Muppet) for the jazz above but never fitted. Selling then for what I paid, £25 [attachment=1442:AUT_7277.JPG] Early 70's Fender Jazz ashtray. Appears to have been used as such. F*cked but Mojo city. Been keeping it as the first part of my 70's Jazz project With huge apologies if I'm insulting fellow BCers, I've been offered £50 for it a couple of times so that's what I'm asking here (although I'll take something close ).

ped Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I really like the 'plate on the jazz, a nice quirk away from the norm. It would look pretty bling with a U retro (chrome) and the rear 'tray on it, too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks awesome with both ashtrays (I've just added a pic with both above, although they're not screwed on due to the BADASS being currently installed).

joegarcia Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 In what way are the tuners reversed? Do you think they'd fit a Precision ok or are they specific to a Jazz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they'd fit a Precision ok or are they specific to a Jazz?[/quote] Hi mate, they turn forwards rather than backwards like the oldies. No idea if they would fit a P, can't see why not though. I've had a few messages re posting the jazz. I'll post it in a hard case for £30 extra and at buyer's expense and risk. Apologies for my apparent analness but I don't really trust couriers anymore after all the posts I've read recently A few guys have also PM'd questions/info about the jazz. Looks like it was run as short run series in the late 90's, perhaps the precursor to the Highway series. It is definitely not - unfortunately - one of the early 1980's Fullerton models which had the same pickguard and knobs. Any factual info any BC'ers have regarding the Corona Series please feel free to post it below. As I said above, it's the only jazz I've ever really got on with, and 've owned two Fender Custom Shop J's, three MIAs, a Geddy Lee sig and an early 80's Tokai Jazzsound, so I've tried a few . I've had a couple of interesting trade offers for the Jazz but I guess I really do need cash for this at the moment.

Anyway, someone buy this lovely jazz bass smartish 'cos I need the cash to put towards repairing my Flea.

Beedster Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Bumped back to the first page. I have a few as yet unconfirmed cash offers on this and a few offers for trade, several representing interesting interpretations of the words 'Precision Bass' I'd like to say that I'm not in a hurry to sell the Jazz, but in a way I am, so I'll take cash offers for the bass with original Fender bridge. I can supply a hard case, BADASS, ashtrays etc at extra cost if needed. If not I'll sell them individually later Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
