NOW SOLD - Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass  (v2) 5 string  in Satin Black - £365

I bought this lovely bass about 18 months ago from Bass Players Market as an experiment as I fancied trying a 5 string and this seemed like a great sounding bass from all the forums and reviews. 
It is an awesome thing, but I've decided I'm really a four string guy and its just not geting used since purchse so I'm letting it go to someone who will appreciate it.
Its in generaly very good condition but has one or two very fine belt marks on the back which are hard to photograph due to the satin black finish, plus a chip on the bottom edge - see photos. Otherwise it is in great order.
Recently re-strung with a new set of Elixir 45 -130's and all set up.  
The previous owner had fitted a set of matt black machine heads but I still have the original Fender chrome items which are included, plus all the gear candy.
This is a lovely sounding bass with twin Humbucking pickups and a four way control to switch between them in various confirguratations - see below.
No longer made so it is likely to increase in value and become collectable as it is so well made and sought after.

I'm looking for £365 which seems to be about the going rate for these on Basschat and other bass related sites.  PM me for more details or to come and try it out.  Collection only from Milton Keynes.
See below for full spec on these: -
