78 Fender Jazz Bass for final price drop before it goes in its case £1800 - *SOLD* £2400 Brighton

[WishICouldWalk]

I've had this for four or five years now and initially it was my main gigging bass but lately I've been playing a Mexican bitsa bass as it's lighter and cheaper or one of my 5 string basses.

I wouldn't say it has any bad points as it plays and sounds brilliant and it's only lacquer checking and some fairly minor scuffing and a bit of tarnish of the chrome that show its age. The neck is straight and it has plenty of life in the original frets.

I can't speak for the originality of every single nut bolt and screw as I'm not the original owner however when I bought it, I had a luthier friend of mine check it over and he said it was all legit.

Two reasons I'm thinking of selling i) I'm wanting to get an older jazz and so having some extra funds would be nice ii) I'm getting too old and skinny for a 10 pounder.

I'd much prefer local pickup in Brighton UK but would consider shipping within the UK at a push but this has to be arranged and paid for by buyer.

Not desperate to sell as it's probably earning more interest than money in the bank!

Message me if you want more pics.

Also, I'd trade for an older original jazz (nothing else), money your way.

Here are some clips to hear what it sounds like. Same line, different volume/tone settings.

Both pickups and tone on 10:

 

Back pickup only, tone on 2:

 

Front pickup, tone on 6:

I can say this over and over again: brexit. A pity!

[WishICouldWalk]

I know - there should be special clauses for the used Fender market! 

[Quasar79]

Absolutely!
