Fender American Deluxe Jazz bass, Olympic white/rosewood £1200 Sheffield

[Quatschmacher]

This is a lovely bass and in outstanding condition. 
 

I only got this recently as it was an itch I had been wanting to scratch for ages. However, despite having cut my teeth on a Jazz bass and having played them exclusively for many years, once I started playing a Precision I realised that’s where my sound really is. Therefore, as beautiful as this bass is, I probably shouldn’t keep it as most of the time I’ll reach for a P. (I’m also trying to save up for an acoustic piano.)

 

This is a 2015 model so has the better pickups and tuners compared to the earlier ones.

 

It’s completely stock.

 

Includes the case candy: paperwork, tags, truss rod tool (but no hex keys).

 

A few things worth mentioning (which were there when I got it):

 

1. There are a couple of very small paint chips to back the that have been filled with a different white (see images).

 

2. Theres a scratch/indentation in the board at the 17th fret (see image).

 

3. The two retainer straps on the case which stop it opening past 90 degrees are detached at one end; these could be glued back into place fairly easily.

 

It had a fresh setup right before I bought it with new strings and a super low action. It plays effortlessly.

 

EDIT - it has Fender strap locks (found them in a bag in the case. These might have been standard on the Deluxe model.

 

Weight is approximately 4.23-4.25 kg via balancing it upright on my kitchen scales. 

 

Collection from Sheffield.

Beautiful. And a textbook example of an ad selling a bass. GLTWS! Personally, my resistance to a 5 string version of this is wavering badly….

There was a 5-string version of this for sale recently by I think @Lukasz Chyla; not sure if it sold.

Thank you. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying them.

Pleasure is mine! For the record, should be presets not presents ... Damn autocorrect

Hi

Not entirely sure how this all works on bass chat as I’ve been sent here by Bassmonkey, but I absolutely love the look of this bass and am very interested in potentially making a purchase. 
If you get the time to reply that’d be greatly appreciated and we’ll talk further

 

Thanks

George

These are great jazzes, and the best colour combo imo
