Now sold elswhere

 

I am making a determined effort to sell a couple of basses that are no longer getting the use that they deserve.  So to start with here is a bit of a rarity, a Japanese-made Fender fretless Jazz Bass Special.

 

A superb example of Fender Japan at its best, this 1987 Fender Jazz Bass Special is in great condition for a 35-year-old bass.  There are some very light markings on the rosewood board that I think probably came from previous owner(s) having used roundwound strings and the body has a very modest amount of natural mojo from being played over the years.  The bass weighs in at 4kgs or just under 9lbs by my scales.

 

The bass has a slim Jazz neck profile and upgraded by the previous owner with a Hipshot drop D tuner, and some great EMG PJ pickups.  The non-standard knobs that came with bass were not really to my taste and I have replaced these with Spector items that resemble the original fit items at a very casual glance.  The rest of the black hardware is standard.  The bass will come with a good quality hard-softcase.  Currently strung with TI Flats.

 

Collection is definitely preferred, but I will also be happy to meet halfway (within reason) for some fuel money.  Last resort would be a courier.

 

Difficult to price, but I think £700 is a reasonable balance between the quality of the bass and the non-standard upgrades.  Sorry, I do not have any of the original fit items.

 

Here are a few pics.  Black basses are a bit of a sod to photograph but I've done my best.  Let me know if you want any more detail on anything, or indeed if you have any questions.

 

Thanks for looking in.
