BassBod Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) 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. 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. No significant fret wear, and generally in excellent condition, with only one or two marks to the body. The worst on the lower back of the body is pictured below. Collection and try out strongly preferred - between Bath and Bristol just off M4 J18 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! Not unreasonable, but its solid.... Edited December 28, 2022 by BassBod Correct location 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goffman Posted November 17, 2022 Share 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 fiver 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the most accurate, but it certainly feels about right. The broader neck and headstock give it a bigger feel than a regular 4 string..but it’s very manageable.

FDC484950 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 What strings does it have? Not so easy to find tapered B and E sets nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, they were on it already, and may even be the original Fender strings. The bass hasn’t had much use at all. The general feel of the strings and grey silk remind me of a set of Galli’s.
