£799 (ono) delivered in UK only, or pick up from Brighton.

Through gritted teeth I am selling my Flea Road Worn Jazz Bass. It's a long story, but I ended up buying two Road Worns at the same time, and I prefer the red one. I'd like to keep a stack-knob too, but my bank would disapprove and my wife would leave me.

Nice dark rosewood board, faded shell pink lacquer, CS64 pups and weighs 4.1kg according to the bathroom scales. Comes in a new-looking Fender gig bag.

Full disclosure: This is a 2016 bass, but with a (genuine, new) 2020 replacement body purchased from Stratosphere in the US [eBay listing here].

It is 100% stock apart from:

  • Kiogon solderless loom replacing the original pots and wiring *
  • Genuine Fender brass external earthing strip (purely decorative)
  • Genuine Fender Road Worn strap button on rear of headstock (largely decorative).

* Knobs and plate are original, only pots and wiring are changed - shout if you'd like the originals included.

You probably won't like my wussy light strings and cig-paper action, so allow for that. The neck is straight and the truss works just fine. All the electrical bits work just fine and sound ace.

Here's the official spec page: https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/electric-basses/jazz-bass/artist-jazz-bass/flea-jazz-bass/0141020356.html

Ask about any other stuff if you like. I'm open to offers but not silly ones, as I need to recoup some costs.

Magnificent.  One of very few Fender models I've owned that I sorely regret selling. What's the story behind the new body??

Seems like a very good price all things considered, best of luck with the sale!

Well thank you sir. The story behind the new body is that I got the old one resprayed, then decided the new colour actually didn't look right next to all that vintage relic-ing, so it's going towards a shiny maple-boarded bitsa. Meanwhile I thought it would be wrong to part this one out, so I got another body and put it back as it should be. Would be keeping it if I could afford to.

Just for confirmation, is this a homebrew Flea Jazz?

I think it probably depends on your point of view. If you were planning to keep it as a collectors' item, you'd probably view it as a cut-and-shut. If you want a genuine Fender Flea Bass to play, it's that also.
