alanbass1 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 A few years back a friend of mine purchased a new Japanese made Jaco style fretless Jazz bass, the one with the metal knobs, no scratchplate/screw holes and American PUPs. It is a real nice bass in immaculate (show room) condition as he just never used it - deciding to plump for a fretted bass to learn on! I came across it again in a recent visit and he offered to sell it to me. He said he remembers getting it for around the £600 mark but can't find the receipt (although he has the hang tags) and asked me to pay him a little lower than the going rate......whatever that is. So, can anyone help with what the going rate might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird War Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) £350-400 seems to be the going rate for the better Jap Fenders - EDIT - sold on here recently. Edited February 11, 2009 by Weird War Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Far East Guitars occasionally have these in. For non-export models with US pickups, depending on condition they seem to be advertised around the £450 - £500 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weak pound is taking its toll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
