USA Fender 2005 S1 jazz bass *£675* £800 Trimdon

[simonbrown92]

2005 USA Fender Jazz Bass with S1 switch. For those unfamiliar with the S1 switching it adds a lovely deep boost to the tone, excellent for slap bass tones and a nice little boost to cut through a mix live.  Recently set up and plays lovely. Bridge has been upgraded to a Babicz locking cam bridge which is great for improved tone sustain! 
 

Took an unfortunate knock on the bottom which has cracked the laquer throughout the back I’ve tried to photograph is as much as I can along with the other signs of wear. 
 

Collection from Ts29 ideally. Can post at buyers expense

I used to have one of these in red...completely forgot. 

[simonbrown92]

Open to offers 👍

I have one of these. Great basses. Good luck with your sale.

[Lozz196]

I’m finding it very difficult to understand why this hasn’t been snapped up, this range of Fenders don’t come up for sale too often which imo is pretty telling, they’re good, people keep hold of them.

[david1711]

I agree. It’s a bargain at this price.

[simonbrown92]

I can’t get my head round it tbh I thought I’d set the price too high initially given the cosmetic damage but it still plays and sounds great. American jazz bass for less than £700 should be a steal 

[Sibob]

These are the best modern* US Jazz basses that Fender have ever made. If I was looking for a Fender Jazz, I’d be looking for one of these!

GLWTS.

 

Si

 

*ie if you don’t want a vintage spec Jazz.

Old video, quality isn’t the best but you get an idea of sound 👍

[simonbrown92]

Last one. Managed to find some old clips, some finger style, tiny bit of slap, plectrum, then plucking/ harmonics/ tapping 

 

cheers
