(SOLD) MIJ Squier Fender Silver Series Jazz Bass w/EMG 18v Pickups & BadAss II Bridge ‘93 £230 London

[denki109]

This is not a Squier as you know it but a MIJ version from approximately 1993/4. The Silver Series from Squier instruments represent everything that one would come to expect from Japanese instruments from this era. Even George Harrison rocked a Squier Silver Series Strat back in the day and for good reason. The quality of this range is very much in keeping with the E Series from Japan. 

The neck width is 40mm - right in between a Jazz Bass and a Precision. 

And the original pickups, which were a bit 'meh', have been replaced with early EMG Jazz Bass Pickups which are being run at 18v for maximum headroom. 

A few dings here and there but in good shape   The neck is lovely and straight and the truss rod operates as it should   

The bass is resonant thanks to its Basswood body and light. 

The Torino Red finish is an extra bonus and I think it looks great on a JB. 

The bass also sports a Badass II bridge. It was added to balance out the neck and, in addition to increasing sustain, has made for an instrument that feels great around your shoulders on the comfort front. 

 Love this instrument but, as my dog recently had to undergo emergency surgery and treatment last week - the need for funds has forced its sale. 

The bass comes with a semi hard case and collection would be preferred. Other options can be discussed as well. 

I'll happily provide better photos (the one below is a bit shocking) ASAP.
