NEW PRICE: £950

For sale, this fantastic Fender Jazz Bass V “Hybrid”, limited series made in Japan in 2019, in Sherwood Green.

They call it “hybrid” for some obscure marketing reasons, apparently a mix of vintage and modern features, but to be fair it’s just a good Jazz Bass V that plays and sounds great.

Specs are classic: alder body in a lovely Sherwood Green finish, maple neck with satin finish, rosewood fretboard. Pickups are Fender Jazz single coils, and the bass is passive. Bridge is the HMV model and tuners are Fender light ones.
It comes with two pickguards: original mint and black.
Some photos are from the shop I bought it from, I can take more if you want.

Building quality is great as you would expect from Fender Japan. It’s up there with USA Fenders, with a better quality control… It is very rare on this side of the world, as it was only available on the japanese market.

It’s in very good condition, except for a few marks on the back of the body but nothing too bad (photos possible).

Overall it’s a great bass and I’m only selling as I can’t justify a 5 string at the moment.

It comes with a gigbag. I can ship in the UK for £50, or we can arrange a collection in Edinburgh and its surroundings.

I’m selling it for £1150.

Any questions let me know. Cheers.

PS: the radiator was OFF when I took the photo. I’d never lean a bass against a hot radiator.
