BassBod Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Ā Ā Ā SOLD A lovely bass, comes complete with original "TSA" square case, all tools and tags. Passive electronics with the usual VVT set up. A very versatile modern take on the classic Jazz bass format, with a nice big and even sounding B string. Currently strung thru body, but bridge thru is also an option. Ā Ā I think the colour was officially called Candy Cola, it's a metallic red just a shade darker than most. The scratchplate has mellowed slightly to a creamy version of white. Ā No significant fret wear, and generally in excellent condition, with only one or two marks to the body. Ā The worst on the lower back of the body is pictured below. Ā Collection and try out strongly preferred - between Bath and Bristol just off M4 J18 Ā Please ask any questions - I'll have a go at weighing the bass later, but I'd describe it as typical for a 5 string Jazz! Ā Not unreasonable, but its solid.... Ā Ā Edited December 28, 2022 by BassBod Correct location 7
goffman Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 These American Standard Fenders are great and this one seems to be at a pre-inflation price! Real bargain for anyone looking for a solid fiverĀ š
Jakester Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Agh, I would REALLY like this, and I'm practically next door. Can't justify it though... can Iš¬? 1

Ā Not the most accurate, but it certainly feels about right. Ā The broader neck and headstock give it a bigger feel than a regular 4 string..but itās very manageable.Ā
Guest Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 What strings does it have? Not so easy to find tapered B and E sets nowadays.

No idea, they were on it already, and may even be the original Fender strings. Ā The bass hasnāt had much use at all. The general feel of the strings and grey silk remind me of a set of Galliās.Ā
