Fender Made in Japan Hybrid II Jazz Bass - Vintage Natural. Price reduced to sell - £700.

 

In fantastic condition, I can’t see any marks on this at all. Weight is 4070g.

 

Imported from Japan in September last year and only used a few times, so selling and hoping someone else gets better use. Cost over £1000 including shipping and import duties.

 

The last picture shows the bass as new for reference.

 

Collection from North London.

Bumping this to note that although collection preferred, I can ship. If so, will send DHL insured with an extra cost of £35. Will need to purchase a proper bass guitar shipping box and packing so will mean shipping is somewhat delayed.

[CoogiSweater]

Reluctantly dropping to £700 to move this on. Bargain!

Buyer backed out so available again

Hi Coogi, is this the one with the ceramic pickups?

I don't believe so - I have added the specs from the original seller (and I think you check on Fender Japan too), but it is listed as:

 

Pickups: Hybrid II Custom Voiced Single Coil Jazz Bass (Bridge), Hybrid II Custom Voiced Single

 

I don't know if these are ceramic (I assume not, but they do sound

great either way!)
