Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V (Black) - *WITHDRAWN* £1200 Birmingham

Hi, 

 

I’m looking to sell my Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V in black with maple neck and abalone block inlays. 
 

The controls are volume, blend, active 3 band eq, passive tone control and an active/passive switch. It takes two 9V batteries. 

 

These basses are my favourites, but I bought this as a back up for my tour rig. I currently have three of them and this one just isn’t being used really.

The bass weighs approximately 4.4kg

 

I bought this bass from Basschat in January 2024. It’s been played and toured by its previous owner and has always been fantastic and reliable whilst I’ve had it. I’ve taken it on two tours last year as a back up and have played it on a handful of shows. It’s been looked after by myself and the previous owner. 
There’s a couple of dings and chips on the body which I’ve attempted to photograph. I can provide more photos. 
 

It comes with the original black pickguard (I’ve placed this over the top in some of the photos) and a dark tortoise shell one which I bought to replace it because I like how they look.
It also comes with the original Fender strap locks. 
 

The original Fender case has a big crack in one of the corners so I’ve replaced it with this Stagg Hardcase. If you wanted the original you can have that instead though. 
 

I’m based in Birmingham but can provide postage and packaging at the buyers expense. 
 

Thanks for looking! 
 

Michael.

Thanks!
 

I also have the natural ash and the transparent white versions. They really are great, I just don’t need 3!

What do you mean! You don’t need 3 !!!
The more, the merrier 😜

These are fabulous basses, I too have one but I’m afraid I can’t justify a second. Incredible range of tones available when running active but also proper old school sound when passive.

 

If you don’t mind me asking, what strings do you have fitted? I use Elixirs on my Jazz but can’t string them through body as the B string is a fraction too short and ends up with the taper portion starting before the nut. Causes issues with the action and intonation.

Hi! 

 

I use Dunlop Super Bright 40-120 Light Nickel Bass Strings (DBSBN40120)

 

I’m not really sure how much difference string through makes, but I think I prefer it (it might get just be all in my head).

String through body increases the richness of the bottom end and gives you a little more sustain. I've got it on two Jazzes (2012 FSR hand stained Am.Std and 2016 American Elite.) I use the 40-95 Elixir set too.
