Fender Limited Edition '62 Walnut Jazz Bass MIJ *price drop £800* £900 London

[DF Shortscale]

EDIT: dropping the price to £800.

 

Putting this (and another Fender jazz) up for sale, bit reluctant but I seem to be playing only short scales these days. 

 

MIJ Walnut Fender Jazz Bass, I believe these were a special run made by Fender Japan. The serial no. dates this one to 2014.

Rosewood board, passive, medium jumbo frets, maple neck, ash body, '62 walnut styling, plays really well and sounds like a jazz bass should!

Set up was done by the Bass Gallery, it's solid so I haven't needed to touch it since then. 

Truss rod is fine, frets are fine but could use a polish, current action is just under 2mm at 12th fret on the E, which is where I like it but it will go lower than that if you need it to.

I'm afraid I don't know the exact weight but it's on the lighter side for a jazz, and considerably lighter than my USA Jazz Dlx. 

Strung with some very old and very dead NYXL rounds.

Scratch on the lower bout, pictured.

 

This came without a bag or case, so I would prefer collection or meet-up in or around London but may be able to figure out postage. If you need further info / pics let me know. I work very close to North Greenwich tube, if you're nearby you're welcome to come and try it.

Beautiful looking bass. You sure the body isn’t ash?

Thanks, yeah it is a nice one! It could well be ash, I wasn’t sure and never gave it much thought, the info is just based on a similar one on reverb which mentioned basswood but now you mention it, that grain does look more like ash.

That’s an Ash body I’m sure.

You are very close to me. I’m going to have a think on this. I already havr a jap bass coming my way but this is beautiful. I should check if they also did a p bass version. 
 

I’ll get in touch with you
