Fender Elite 5 string jazz (PENDING) - *SOLD* £1600 SWAFFHAM

[leschirons]

Price above is allowing for a PX trade of up to £600.  Sale price is £1550

 

Probably the hardest to find colour for one of these. Champaign metallic.

The bass is mint. Can't find a mark on it. No dings. Anything in the pics is a reflection from the phone.

Original case, possibly all the case candy but not really sure what comes with them. Fender leather strap, with the strap-locks fitted, Allen keys, keys for case, Fender polishing cloth etc.

 

Currently strung with my fave La Bella white nylons but I'd like to keep those so the new DR Fat-beams will be fitted.

Only my opinion but far better than the Ultras if only for the very accessible truss rod wheel at the body end. Everything works, ultra low action, new batteries installed (2)

Weighs in at 4.57 kilos according to my fishing scales. Even still got the control info plastic slip in place.

I can't find another in this colour to judge pricing but as 4 stringers appear to be for sale for more or less the same, so price is firm. 

Any of these on reverb are quite a bit dearer and scratched to buggery. This one has lived under the spare bed for 2 years.

 

Trade options.  Feel I'd need to keep a 5 string handy just in case I find a gig so, trades up to max £600 for a 5 string jazz (battered MIM, VM, Maybe a nice SIRE MM 5 string. 

Not fussed about scratches, dents etc as long as it's still reasonable value for money. A Sterling by MM 5 string would be okay too. There's a nice blue one on here ATM so that sort of thing.

I'm not a headstock snob so doesn't need to have Fender on it. Only thing I'm not up for is an Ibanez. Great stuff but just not for me. 

 

Ideally pick up from Swaffham PE37,  have GB rig here to try it out with, quality coffee and biscuits available at no extra cost.

I do not have an outer box for this but am happy to send via YOUR arranged and insured courier.

Measures  18mm but as you have an option of where to cross the saddles (3 slots on each)  I checked the spec online and it comes up as .688 of an inch which is 17.45 but personally, I think it's 18mm.

Certainly doesn't feel as narrow as my old Ray 5 string. Hope that helps. If you're local, welcome to just come and try it.

When I saw "(in the best colour I hasten to add)", I had to come and look!! And it's the exact same colour as mine!
